Air intake filters

What's a good air intake filter to use in  new style 2019 Z71?

Its advertised as having a heavy duty air filter, can't seem to find any difference between non Z71 and Z71, I'm ok with a stock filter, just need to know if there is any difference.

A3244C is the high capacity air cleaner and A3246C is the standard filter.  On page 426 of the owners manual.  If you want to go to a different one, you can cross it on the Wix web site or Fram web site.  Any of these will work well.  I keep mine changed every 15k miles.

The difference is that the HD Filter has more pleats in order to have more dirt holding capacity. Other than that its no difference than the non-HD filter.

Thanks for your replies, never occurred to me to look in the owners manual, Nothing on the web was really clear.

Yep.  The airbox is the same, the filter is the only difference between the standard and high capacity.  High capacity has more pleats for filtering.  You can put the HC filter in a truck that didn't come with it.
