start your engine with the air cleaner

element may result in severe engine
damage. Your warranty may not cover these
damages.

Use only the air filter element listed when
changing the air filter element. See
Motorcraft Parts (page 268).

intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance

1.

Release the two clamps 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. Replace the air filter housing cover.
7.

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