dlb92 Posted May 15, 2015 at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 at 08:57 PM How much is it supposed to cost to replace the in cabin air filter? I went in for my 20,000 mile checkup and oil change and the tech said "I'm going to have to take apart the whole dash". I said never mind I'm coming back for some recall fixes I'll have them do it then. I don't want to be charged a huge amount for labor. Anyone know? After 18,250 miles and almost 2 years my brake pads are still 10mm and my tires are 7/32. Anyone know what they are to start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadiel Posted May 15, 2015 at 09:14 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 at 09:14 PM I don't know the cost. I am at about 17,000 miles now so I am coming up to the 20K service change as well, may do it myself if they charge a lot for the labor. Here is the video for the cabin filter change ( ). chasm31110 and TMDataFusion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_h Posted May 15, 2015 at 09:15 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 at 09:15 PM (edited) I bought my cabin air filter from rockauto.com which was under 20 bucks, and followed the youtube video online (edit - I see one was just posted above) and changed it myself in 16 minutes for my car, then took 12 minutes to change it in my wife's car since I was more familiar with it. The phrase "take the whole dash apart" is a bit much -- however the glove box does have to be removed.

FusionNAZ Posted October 11, 2015 at 03:09 AM Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 at 03:09 AM I usually change my air filters about every 10k miles. I find it interesting that the dealership always pushes things like this for service. Yet, when you buy a CPO Ford they do not even check it. This filter looks like it has not been serviced at all. I was on the fence about getting the filter. It worked out I picked up a Ford filter on eBay for $16. Thanks Seadiel for the video post for the YouTube video. It was super easy vent piece pops out along with the side panel. Then 4 7mm bolts hold in the glove box and that pops out. Two fillip screws hold the door closed and that is that (be gentle its all plastic down there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_h Posted October 16, 2015 at 10:55 AM Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 at 10:55 AM I think any of those should work, so depends on how brand-conscious you want to be -- I went with the Motorcraft but would have been OK with the Wix. I am not familiar with Hastings and they may be fine, but I just don't know so I skipped them in case they were really Cheap Charlie with filter quality of a paper towel...
