How to change the air filter in a 2011-2014 Ford F150 EcoBoost

Today Taylor’s Service Max is going to show you how to change the engine air filter on this 2014 Ford F-150 EcoBoost.  The first step is to loosen the clamp on the intake tube using a flat head screw driver.  Next release the three clamps that hold the air box together.  There are two in plain sight one is hidden under the intake tube.  Then slide the intake tube apart from the upper air box.  You can leave the mass airflow sensor attached because there is quite a bit of wire running to it.  Slide the upper air box our of it’s retaining pieces and lay it over to the side.  You can now access and remove your air filter.

How to get a complimentary air filter check up

When you bring your vehicle in to Taylor’s Service Max for any service we inspect the air filter as part of our routine vehicle check.  The technician will let the service advisor know if an air filter change is needed.  The service advisor will in turn inform the customer of their options to replace.

Putting the new air filter in your F150 EcoBoost

Taylor’s Service Max uses Perfomax Air Filers. The part number is P-517. When re-installing make sure the air filter is facing the right way because they are not perfectly square.  The easiest way is to hold the air filter with the lines running horizontal.  Then set the new air filter in to place.  Once the air filter is in, take the upper air box and re-inert it into its place at an angle.  Slide the tabs back into their slots, you should feel them latch.  Push the upper air box down into place and reconnect the intake tube.  Wiggle it until it snaps into place.  Next re-clip the three clips that hold the upper and lower air box together.  Finally, using your screw driver tighten the clamp back up that secures the intake tube to the air box.  You’re all done!
