The aFe 30-10255 is a Pro 5R oiled replacement panel filter for the 2015 Ford Mustang, and it is listed for the EcoBoost four-cylinder, the V6, and the GT V8, so one part number covers every 2015 engine. Fits: 2015 Mustang EcoBoost L4-2.3L, 2015 Mustang V6-3.7L, 2015 Mustang GT V8-5.0L. Its media is a five-layer cotton gauze that comes factory-oiled, sitting in a full polyurethane frame. Compared with a stock paper element, the filter is less restrictive to incoming air, and because it can be washed and reused, you avoid buying a new filter at every service interval. That makes it a sensible low-cost upgrade for buyers searching for a reusable 2015 Mustang EcoBoost, V6, or GT air filter.
The filter's progressively finer layers are designed to keep flowing as the media loads with dirt, and the 100% Polyurethane Frame On All Sides helps the element hold its shape and seal against the housing. The rounded open pleat design gives more usable filter surface, which supports airflow and dust-holding capacity. Owners who clean the element on a regular schedule can keep the same filter in service, and aFe's own cleaner and blue filter oil are the products used to recharge it. Track and street enthusiasts looking for a Pro 5R filter for a stock-airbox Mustang will appreciate that this is a drop-in change that works without a tune.
This filter is listed for the 2015 EcoBoost four-cylinder, V6, and GT V8. Confirm your engine against the manufacturer's fitment information before ordering.
The 30-10255 uses oiled cotton gauze media, while the 31-10255 is the dry version with synthetic media. The oiled filter needs to be re-oiled after cleaning, so the two are not maintained the same way.
The manufacturer recommends its own POWERCLEANER and blue air filter oil to clean and recharge the Pro 5R media, so the element can be reused rather than replaced.
On the 2015 V6, the factory air box is opened by releasing its two easy-release clips by hand, then sliding the box forward to free the tabs on its front lip. Once the box is lifted, the old element can be swapped for the new panel filter. Check the air box layout on your specific engine before starting, since the EcoBoost and GT boxes are not identical to the V6 unit, and make sure the new element seats fully against the housing before closing it up.
