Those all contained filters are great, but, I wrap the whole thing in a screen wire and duct tape the wire around the intake duct, so the mud wasps, and other insects will keep out.
In the orange grove, in the open air, they will last about a year.
Always remember to mount the filter where it can pick up fresh cool air, as the air is heated it will heat the engine accordingly.
If the air is 10 degrees hotter than the outside air, it will heat the motor about 10 degrees hotter. cold air always causes better combustion. Within reason, of course.
Just 2 more cents.

Bob,
Take heed to Steve's advice. The whole reason the A is in 8V92TA is aftercooler to cool the air after it comes from the turbo, and before it enters the engine. Anything that is heated expands, with air, that means less Oxygen molecules in the same space in the engine to burn diesel fuel. So, they cool the hot compressor discharge! Why start with a handicap?
