Air filter.
Has anyone found any alternatives for the Air Filter yet? They're listed as $80 CDN to simply buy one, and $60 CDN if you replace it at the time you've purchased one of the maintenance packages for the scheduled maintenance.
It's a little frustrating as the one of the regular escape is only $18 CDN and can be picked up at places other than a dealer. Just hoping I'm missing something and someone has come out with an alternative. jeff. |
Re: Air filter.
What air filter are you talking about? Cabin air filter? Engine air filter?
If it's the cabin air filter, you can buy it online -- I bought two filters (one for now, one as a spare) at Drivewire.com: Bosch R2060-138313 ACC Cabin Filter Cost: $14.56 USD per filter (you only need one and they last about 1 year after which they should be replaced.) |
Re: Air filter.
Sorry, I should have specified, I am referring to the engine air filter.

Re: Air filter.
I think you can get a K&N engine air filter for about $50. Check online (try Googling K&N air filters). The K&N will perform better and is permanent. You just clean and recharge it every so often.

Re: Air filter.
The only K&N filter I could find on their site was for the regular escape. Everything says that it excludes the hybrid. So it doesn't look like anything is available yet.

Re: Air filter.
Is this the right air filter?
http://www.fordaccessories.com/produ...AirFilter.aspx I haven't had the cover off to see if this is the one.... It looks different than the cabin airfilter which i HAVE seen so I THINK its the engine airfilter... At 32.95 its better than the 80 or so. |
Re: Air filter.
haskellf,
I'm looking for the engine air filter, not the cabin air filter. Tim, that does look like the correct filter. I believe someone had posted in the past saying that in the US the price from the dealer was around $50, so that seems close with shipping. Here I can get it as low as $60 if I get some service along with it. That site states that they do NOT ship to the north... for some reason. I thought I had seen a ford accessories site in Canada, so I'll continue looking. Thanks! |
Re: Air filter.
They are indeed very expensive.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildtexas/ Here's a direct link to the photos from my cabin air filter self-install about a month ago: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildtex...abinairfilter/ Apologies for the photo quality, but my hands were filthy so the easiest camera to use was my low-res cameraphone and not my Canon EOS 1D Mark II (read: pro digital camera.) |
