BMC Performance Air Filter | Porsche Boxster / Cayman (987) 2005-2013 H6-2.7L/2.9L/3.2L/3.4L | Sold Each
BMC FB416/16 Replacement Air Filter is a direct-fit element for the 987 Boxster and Cayman, base through S, Spyder and Cayman R. It replaces the factory paper filter in the standard airbox with no modification.
BMC is the oiled-cotton option, made in Italy. Multi-layered cotton gauze soaked in low-viscosity oil, wrapped in an epoxy-coated alloy mesh that resists petrol fumes and humidity. BMC rates the media at 7 microns against roughly 10 for OEM paper — more airflow and finer filtration together. Supplied pre-oiled and regenerated with a BMC cleaning kit rather than replaced. Apply oil sparingly at service time; over-oiling is how filter oil ends up on a mass airflow sensor.
Key Benefits:

Note: BMC lists FB416/16 without a multi-filter annotation — it is supplied as a single filter. Clean and re-oil at service intervals with a BMC regeneration kit; use BMC filter oil only and apply it sparingly. Let the element dry fully before refitting.
Installation Instructions:
One filter, the whole 987 range, and nothing to buy again.
