Aspects herein include filtration systems with multitiered data exchange capabilities. In an embodiment, a filtration system with multitiered data exchange capabilities is included. The system can include a first data communication tier including a filter element, the filter element storing data, and a first sensor. The system can include a second data communication tier including a reader device in communication with the first sensor. The system can include a third data communication tier including an engine control unit (ECU) in communication with the reader device, wherein the ECU stores data. The second data communication tier receives data from the first data communication tier and the third data communication tier. The second data communication tier executes operations on the received data to create a processed data set. Further, the second data communication tier sends the processed data set to the third data communication tier. Other embodiments are also included herein.
