FA-1902 Engine Air Filter for 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke Super Duty
The FA-1902 Engine Air Filter is a direct-fit replacement for your 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke Super Duty truck. Replacing OEM part numbers BC3Z-9601-A, FC4Z-9601-A, and Motorcraft FA-1902, this high-efficiency air filter traps 98.5% of airborne dirt, dust, and debris before they reach your turbocharger and engine — where even microscopic particles can cause accelerated cylinder wear, turbo damage, and reduced performance.
Key Features
Direct OEM Fit: Precision-engineered to the exact dimensions of FA-1902 / BC3Z-9601-A — drops into the factory air box with no modifications. Seals perfectly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air bypass.
High-Efficiency Pleated Media: Multi-layer cellulose/synthetic blend filter media with 98.5% dirt-holding efficiency. Deep pleats maximize surface area for extended service life without restricting airflow.
Rigid Protective Frame: Durable plastic frame with integrated sealing gasket resists warping under engine bay heat and vibration. Maintains consistent seal throughout the entire service interval.
Turbocharger Protection: Clean air is critical for turbocharged diesel engines. Contaminated air can erode compressor wheel blades, reducing boost efficiency and potentially sending metal fragments into the intercooler and engine.
Extended Service Life: High dirt-holding capacity means this filter performs reliably for the full recommended service interval — even in dusty construction, agricultural, or off-road environments.

Why Choose iFJF FA-1902 Air Filter?
Manufactured to IATF 16949 Standards: Same quality management system used by OEM suppliers — consistent fit, filtration, and durability batch after batch.
Cost-Effective Alternative: Get Motorcraft-comparable quality at a significantly lower price. A $27 air filter protects a $5,000+ turbocharger and a $15,000+ engine.
Turbo-Safe Design: The rigid frame and precise seal prevent filter collapse and bypass — common failure modes of cheap generic filters that can send unfiltered air directly into your turbo.
Fast US Shipping: Ships from US warehouses — get your filter in days, not weeks.
Signs Your Air Filter Needs Replacement
Black smoke from exhaust: Restricted airflow causes incomplete combustion and excessive soot production.
Reduced fuel economy: The ECM compensates for reduced airflow, often resulting in 1-3 MPG loss.
Turbo lag or sluggish acceleration: Insufficient air volume reduces boost response and power.
Visual inspection: Hold the filter up to a light — if you can't see light through the pleats, it's time to replace.
Check engine light: Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor readings out of range due to airflow restriction can trigger P0101 or related codes.
Installation Instructions
Park on level ground, set parking brake, engine OFF and cool.
Open the hood and locate the air filter housing on the passenger side of the engine compartment (rectangular black plastic box).
Unclip the 4 spring clips securing the air box cover (no tools required for most models).
Lift off the cover. Remove the old filter — note its orientation (typically the mesh/reinforced side faces the engine).
Wipe out any debris or dust from inside the air box with a clean cloth. Check the housing seal for cracks or damage.
Insert the new FA-1902 filter in the same orientation as the old one. Ensure it seats fully into the lower housing groove.
Replace the cover and re-secure all 4 spring clips. Confirm all clips are fully engaged — an unsealed clip = unfiltered air entering your engine.
No priming or reset required — start the engine and verify smooth idle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my 2015 Ford F-250 6.7L Powerstroke?
A: Yes. This FA-1902 air filter fits all 2011-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks with the 6.7L V8 Powerstroke diesel engine. It also fits 2011-2016 F-350, F-450, F-550 models and 2015-2019 F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks with the same engine.
Q: How does this compare to the Motorcraft FA-1902?
A: This iFJF filter is manufactured to meet or exceed Motorcraft OE specifications for fit, filtration efficiency (98.5%), and service life. It's produced under IATF 16949 quality standards — the same quality management system used by Tier 1 automotive suppliers. You're getting OEM-grade quality at an aftermarket price.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this air filter?
A: No. This is a disposable dry-type paper filter — not a washable/reusable oiled cotton filter. Attempting to clean it with compressed air or water will damage the filter media and reduce filtration efficiency. Replace with a new filter at the recommended interval.
Q: How often should I replace the air filter?
A: Ford recommends every 30,000 miles under normal conditions. However, if you drive on gravel roads, in dusty construction zones, in agricultural settings, or tow frequently, replace every 15,000-22,500 miles. Inspect the filter at every oil change (every 5,000-7,500 miles) and replace it if visibly dirty.
Q: Will a dirty air filter cause my truck to go into limp mode?
A: A severely clogged air filter can trigger MAF sensor codes (P0101) and reduced power mode. While not as immediately catastrophic as a fuel system failure, restricted airflow increases exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), reduces fuel economy, and forces the turbocharger to work harder — accelerating wear on the turbo and emissions systems.
Q: What's the difference between FA-1902 and FA-1927?
A: FA-1902 fits 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke Super Duty trucks. FA-1927 fits 2017-2019 models. The filter dimensions and mounting design changed for the 2017 model year redesign. These filters are NOT interchangeable — make sure you order the correct one for your year.
Q: Do I need to reset anything after replacing the air filter?
A: No. The 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke does not have an air filter life monitor that requires resetting. Simply swap the filter and go. If your check engine light was on due to a restricted filter, it may take 1-2 drive cycles for the light to reset itself after replacement.
Keep your 6.7L Powerstroke breathing clean. Order the iFJF FA-1902 air filter today with fast US shipping.
