Cabin air filter

[Rob6805]

I only have 12k miles on my 21 but still thought it would be a good idea to change the cabin air filter. Really glad I did. It was pretty dirty. I have one on my Mustang so I know how quickly these get clogged up. I bet there are some who have never changed these...

As much dirt as they filter out, you'd think that they would have made it easier to change. Since the means of
access wasn't obvious, I had to find a YouTube video to show me how.

Yea, I watched the video too. It was pretty easy to replace however. Only two screws. Just need to watch the little white clips...

Seems Ford changes the procedure every year. My 2022 was 2 mins. No tools just open glove and drop it down and then pull the filter out. Really impressed how Ford made it so easy.

That's a nice improvement over my 2019.

I agree

I change mine almost annually. Mainly due to all the dust and dirt out here. Just cheap insurance.

I replaced mine with a K&N Washable last year. I'll pull it soon and see how cleaning it works.

If you live in the NYC/northern NJ area I suggest you change now if you have not done so already due to the Canadian fires.

My son was just traveling thru northern Jersey near the GWB and sent me a pic of his cabin filter. Nasty!

I just cleaned my K&N washable and put it back in. I spent this Fall bird hunting and the Expedition was parked outside in the wilds of Michigan, Wisconsin and South Dakota for weeks on end. I experienced 1000 miles plus of gravel roads. Both the K&N Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter were trashed. I cleaned them both without issue and their back in.

This is the first time that I've cleaned a K&N washable Cabin Air Filter. Note that K&N specifies a different cleaner than for the Engine Air filters. The cleaning procedure went well. No complaints.

Once you know how to change it, it's almost trivial. It's the same location on my other vehicles (except the motorcycle...) and just as easy.

I have a 08 CRV and again, easy to access and change. The filter literally weighed 1lb when I took it out, it was a sold mass of 15 years of debris.

Wait, I've never changed the cabin air filter on any of my motorcycles, where is it located on those?
