How to Replace the Cabin Air Filter of the Ford Escape

Model: Ford Escape MK 3 - Years 2013-2019
Part: Cabin air filter

Unlike many other car models, in the Ford Escape, the cabin air filter is not located inside the passenger glove compartment but in the engine compartment of the vehicle. Below, you will learn how to access and replace it without any difficulty. First, turn off your Ford Escape, park it on a flat surface, and let the engine cool down. Next, fully lift the hood and remove the screws that hold the plastic panel in place at the top of the compartment (near the passenger side). Finally, locate the filter underneath and proceed with its replacement.
