Features & Benefits
Superior Dust Holding Capacity – The tortuous path media design traps and retains fine dust particles within multiple filtration layers, preventing them from circulating back into the intake system. Essential for outback touring, rural driving, and unsealed road conditions where airborne dust loads are high.
Triple-Performance Engineering – Ryco filters are tested across three critical metrics: filtration efficiency (capturing harmful particles), service life (extended replacement intervals), and airflow performance (maintaining optimal engine breathing). This balanced approach ensures you don't sacrifice power for protection or longevity for performance.
Laboratory-Verified Standards – Every A1552 filter undergoes rigorous testing in Ryco's dedicated filtration laboratory to verify it meets or exceeds vehicle manufacturer specifications. This testing includes dust loading cycles, flow restriction measurements, and efficiency verification across particle size ranges.
OEM-Equivalent Fitment – Direct replacement for OEM part FA3438, ensuring precise fit within your factory airbox housing. No modifications, adapters, or custom installation required—simply remove the old filter and install the A1552 using existing clips or fasteners.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the A1552 fits my vehicle?
Cross-reference your current filter's OEM part number with FA3438, or measure your existing filter against the A1552 dimensions (217x168x34mm). If unsure, consult your vehicle's service manual or contact us with your registration details.
What's the recommended replacement interval?
Follow your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule, typically every 15,000-30,000km depending on driving conditions. Inspect more frequently if you regularly drive on unsealed roads or in dusty environments.
Can I clean and reuse this filter?
The A1552 is a disposable panel filter and should be replaced rather than cleaned. Attempting to wash or blow out the media can damage the filtration structure and reduce efficiency.
Does this filter affect engine performance?
When installed correctly, the A1552 maintains optimal airflow while improving filtration over worn factory filters. A clean air filter can actually restore throttle response and fuel efficiency lost due to a clogged original filter.
What's covered under the 1-year warranty?
Ryco's warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months from purchase. Normal wear from use, damage from improper installation, or contamination from external sources is not covered.
