CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER

WARNING

To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and 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 engine air filter, do not
allow debris or foreign material to enter
the air induction system. Engine
components are susceptible to damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Change the air filter element at the correct
interval.  See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 491).

Incorrect component use can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty.  See Motorcraft Parts (page
337).

To replace the air filter element do the
following:

1.

Remove the clips 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 that 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 it is not properly
seated.

6. Install the air filter housing cover.

7.

Engage the clips to secure the air filter
housing cover to the air filter housing.
