CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER

WARNING

To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and/or personal burn injuries do not
start your engine with the air cleaner

removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running.

When changing the air filter element, use
only the air filter element listed. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
246).

For EcoBoost equipped vehicles: When
servicing the air cleaner, it is important that
no foreign material enter the air induction
system. The engine and turbocharger are
susceptible to damage from even small
particles.

Change the air filter element at the proper
interval. See Maintenance (page 185).

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be
void for any damage to the engine if the
correct air filter element is not used.

1.

Remove the retaining screws that
secure the air filter housing cover.

2. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
3. Remove the air filter element from the

air filter housing.

4. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter

housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and to make sure you
have a good seal.

5. Install a new air filter element. Be

careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine if not properly seated.
