How Your Vehicle’s Air Filters Work

Although they’re often overlooked by drivers, your vehicle’s air filters play a pivotal role in every drive. The engine air filter prevents dirt, debris, and other airborne particles from entering the engine. In addition to protecting vital engine components, this also allows the engine to perform with greater ease and efficiency. The cabin air filter prevents these same contaminants from making their way inside the passenger cabin, creating a more comfortable and pleasant environment for everyone onboard.

6 Signs of a Dirty or Clogged Engine Air Filter

Fortunately for vehicle owners, a clogged engine air filter is typically easy to identify, as it will usually result in noticeable engine performance loss. Six common warning signs to be on the look out for include:

1. Slower Engine Responsiveness

2. Reduced Fuel Economy

3. Sluggish Acceleration at High Speeds

4. Visibly Dirty Filter

5. Active Check Engine Light

6. Engine Misfires

6 Signs of a Dirty or Clogged Cabin Air Filter

Cabin Air Filters are also easy to tell when it’s time for a swap. Clogged or dirty cabin air filters will significantly reduce the air quality and comfort of the cabin. Signs that a cabin air filter is at the end of its lifespan include:

1. Frequent Dust Buildup on Cabin Surfaces

2. Musty or Mildewy Odours

3. Weak Airflow from Vehicle Vents

4. Increased Allergy Symptoms (If Applicable)

5. Weak Defroster

6. A/C Vents Whistle While in Use

How Long Do Cabin Air Filters and Engine Air Filters Last?

While every Ford vehicle has recommended maintenance intervals for filter swaps outlined in its owner’s manual, the reality is that driving habits, driving conditions, and driving frequency may result in filters clogging up faster than they’re estimated to. Fortunately, both filters are typically inspected when your vehicle is brought in for regular maintenance, allowing service technicians to easily recommend when it’s time for a swap. Cabin air filters typically require more frequent swaps, every 24,000 km or so, while engine air filters usually last anywhere from 24,000 to 48,000 km.
