How often should I change the engine air filter in my Ford?

Ford recommends that you replace this filter every 25,000-50,000 kilometres, depending on your vehicle model.

You may want to replace it more often if:

  • You drive on dirt roads or in excessively dusty conditions.
  • You see a lot of dirt or debris in the filter.
  • You experience a rough idle or sluggish acceleration.
  • You experience decreased efficiency.

Refer to your Owner's Manual for specific information on when to replace your air filter.
