I just ordered one yesterday. They did not mention it was out of stock. I also gave them the FPP89 number to look up because they could not find the premium filter in their system. (Not sure what the part number they finally ordered was though)
I have (another) mobile service visit coming up next week. They're supposed to bring me the premium filter for me to self-install. I wouldn't bet money on the right part showing up, but I'm hoping for the best!
The local parts guy couldn’t even find the premium filter until I gave him the number. It appeared that there were two filters in the system, one better than the other, but neither the newer premium. But he did find it once I provided the part number. He had to order it from out of state as none were available in Alaska.
Just a follow-up - got the filter in one day and the part number on the box was FPP89.
Thinking of ordering this as I can't seem to get my hands on the Ford. Doesn't exist in Canada and dealers in upstate NY don't have them either.
I must be doing something wrong, I’ve tried a couple of times and I get this response:After a long delay, a new premium cabin air filter is now available from Ford. It's called micronAir proTect.
The part number for the Mach-E is FPP89 and it costs about $22. (FYI the regular cabin filter is FP89, the extra P makes it premium.)
Ford claims it will capture 95% of particles of 2.5 micron (PM2.5) range and particles as small as 0.3 microns, which put it in the "almost HEPA" category. In addition, it also has a carbon layer to absorb ozone and unpleasant smells, and the blue functional layer contains citrus fruit extract that denatures allergens and viruses including influenza and coronavirus. In short, this filter deals with most air quality issues encountered on the road including ozone, smog, diesel exhaust, fine dust, wildfire smoke, fumes, pollen, and fungal spores.
The Mach-E was designed with a large filter slot with this filter in mind (enables premium cabin filter options). The filter design was developed by Freudenberg Filtration Technologies, a German company that invented the cabin air filter.

I've been trying to get this filter for almost two years since it was announced, but is has finally become available through the Ford parts catalog. Perhaps there was an oversight that prevented it from being added to the parts catalog until recently? I finally got one. I like it, it's a really nice filter, top tier stuff.

Made in Mexico...1.5 years ago:
This filter is similar to the Premium Guard Pureflow cabin filter many have bought. The micronAir proTect is the original OEM product, and the Pureflow is the Chinese knockoff copy of the technology. I have both, so here is a side by side comparison. Motorcraft is on the left, Pureflow on right:
The Motorcraft filter has one less pleat (27 vs. 28), but the filter media is thicker and more plush. I measured the airflow when installed, and the Motorcraft had about 8% more airflow than the Pureflow (comparable). The airflow with either will be slightly reduced compared to the OEM basic filter, but there is still plenty. Ford has also tested the Motorcraft filter to ensure it provides enough airflow for defrost performance.
If you want the absolute best air quality in your Mach-E, the micronAir proTect is the way to go. You can order it from your dealer or favorite online parts department. It ships from the national parts depot, so may take a week to arrive FYI. Both of these filters are a significant upgrade compared to the stock cabin air filter, which really only handles dust/pollen. They really help will smells and fine particles like wildfire smoke or diesel exhaust. I strongly recommend everyone upgrade to one of these two options unless you need extra airflow for extreme hot temps. The Motorcraft is my pick of the two. Change every 15,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first.
Yup, use the part number without a vehicle selected. The catalog has an error and lists Ford Edge as the application incorrectly.I must be doing something wrong, I’ve tried a couple of times and I get this response:
I remember being told " If you don't want Covid, get the vaccination. " I then got Covid a month after being vaccinated.
