Filter Change

When you come in for filter service at the dealership, ask for Motorcraft^® filters, which are engineered and designed specifically for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. They meet original equipment standards, which means you get the same level of quality as you did when you first bought your vehicle.

A vehicle with clean filters runs more efficiently than one with dirty filters because there are fewer impurities to bog down your engine. And fewer impurities means the engine doesn’t have to work as hard – and this all adds up to better driving day-to-day, and an engine that runs longer.

Clean Air Filters:

• Trap dirt particles that can damage your engine
• Optimize the mix of fuel and air in your engine, which equals better fuel economy
• Improve horsepower and engine performance

Clean Cabin Air Filters:

• Clean the air you breathe from dust, pollen and other airborne particles
• Optimize your heating and cooling system

Clean Fuel Filters:

• Optimize your fuel flow
• Protect your fuel injection components from impurities

Every maintenance schedule contains a complete set of filter services designed to help keep clean filters in your vehicle. It’s a convenient way to make sure everything in your vehicle is taken care of properly.
