I spoke with a Ford tech awhile back about getting these replaced. He told me he’s yet to change any. Told me it wasn’t as necessary as I might’ve thought. I was a bit shocked to say the least.Are those filters on all the ecoboost engines? Seems like if it were a high failure item we'd have heard about it by now on some of the higher mileage engines.
Thought he was blowing me off at first. Turned out he was in the middle of something. As soon as he was done wit that task he jumped on a computer to look up the part/ area to verify we were talking about the same item. He assured me it wasn’t a regular maintenance item.
The problem I have with that is the fact it has a screened surface that could definitely get clogged at some point. However, we’ve been given no guidance as to what, if anything, should be required of this part.
