| This automotive
maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second
generation 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and probably also the face-lifted 2019,
2020, 2021 and 2022 model years of the Ford Edge SUV in cleaning or changing
the engine air filter element for the EcoBoost 2.0 liter inline four
cylinder engine. (The procedure and filter part numbers are the same for the
2.7L EcoBoost I4 and the Duratec 3.5L V6 engines.) Owners of other Ford and Lincoln vehicles such as the Escape, Expedition, EcoSport, Flex, Explorer, Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Mustang, Taurus, Ranger, Transit Connect, F-150, Endura, C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo, MKZ, Navigator, Aviator, Nautilus and Continental may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A few compatible replacement filters with their part numbers include the following: EcoGard XA6272, K&N 33-5000, Fram CA11480, PotAuto MAP 6013, Motorcraft FA1912 (or FA1912A) and Wix WA10048. No tools are needed to access, check and replace the engine air filter. The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay. The engine air box is located to the left of the main electrical fuse box and in front of the 12V automotive battery. |

 Old Air Filter Removed |
 Inspect Both Sides |
 Clean Out Bottom Half |
| Inspect both sides
of the old air filter. If the old filter is dark grey or black and clogged with dirt, dust, sand, insects, soot, pollen, twigs, hair and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element. The original OEM air filter part number is Motorcraft FA1912. If the old filter is relatively clean, you can just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner. Clean out any sand, leaves, insects or other debris in the bottom half of the air box with a wet / dry shop vacuum. |

| Swing up the two
metal latches and pop them into place over the top half of the air box. Double check that the two halves of the air box are secure together with no part of the new filter visible at the edges. Be sure to write down the filter change in your vehicle's service records. (The engine air filter service interval specification in the owner's manual is to replace it every 30,000 miles.)
