When Should I Replace my Ford’s Engine Air Filter?

The routine maintenance schedule, including engine air filter service, is found in the owner’s manual. We encourage our customers to know this interval and replace the filter when the mileage hits as essential engine maintenance. Depending upon your Ford’s model and year, the maintenance interval is between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. However, if you are experiencing any of the symptoms of poor engine air filtration or the filter is observably clogged with debris, it is a wise decision to change the filter proactively to keep the engine protected.

Consequences of Dirty Air for the Engine

The filter is essential for cleaning debris from incoming air that would ultimately get into the engine without a good filter. The consequences of poor engine air filtration begin with debris penetrating the fuel induction system engine, where it begins to wreak havoc before entering the combustion chamber to cause performance problems and damage. Here are the symptoms of a faulty engine air filter:

• Poor fuel efficiency
• Smell fuel starting the engine
• Dark smoke or flames exiting the exhaust
• The filter is clogged with grime or is damaged
• Check engine light
• Engine misfires
• Unusual sounds from the engine
