I waited until I could smell dead rodent before changing mine.

Here’s another option that’s been touted in the forum. I’ve had good success with it.

I guess mine will need to be washed in about two more years. ??

That's the one I picked up, and I really like it. I set it up on subscribe and save, and I get a new one every six months. It's hard to forget when it just shows up. I

Meanwhile over in Tesla land.... apparently something in the AC/air filter is making their cars stink?

And forget the mind-boggling entitlement of thinking Tesla should replace cabin air filters for free "as a good customer service service gesture to its customers". Absolutely astounding.

... more like clogged AC condensation drain. A problem and old and common as air conditioned cars.

Yep. I waited until a mouse had help clear the obstruction of the filter, and caused some of it to be an interference with the fan motor.

Ford's profits go down. ???

Gonna take mine out & throw it away, it’s pointless unless I start to live my entire life hermetically sealed in a pollen filtered bubble?

 

[Teslaeata]

Pollen filters are like electric sun rooves and electrically operated mirrors, thing I always never knew I really neeeeeeeeeeded?

I have a 2022 Bronco. It has a cabin airfilter. An ORV with a removable top AND doors. ????????

M-O-N-E-Y G-R-A-B

I have a 1972 Blazer. No A/C, no cabin air filter. Removable top, roll up window option, rear seat option, stir it yourself transmission, 1-ton transfer case. Noisier inside with the top on than with it off. ??

This is why I love this forum. Really good suggestions. I bought one of these filters and just installed it. I couldn’t believe the “thing” that was in the car. It was kind of dirty but about half the thickness of the replacement i put in. Also very flimsy. I wonder if this was the OEM filter. Anyway, glad to have the new one in. Now…for a test drive.

That doesn’t look OEM. Mine fit very well into its slot, just like the washable replacement I have in there now. ??

Yeah, really strange. This is about 3/4” thick, about half of what the new one is. It’s a Motocraft FP-71A, according to the side printing.

That is not the correct filter for a Mach-E, it looks like the one for an Edge. Perhaps your dealer or service center replaced it already as part of a service and used the wrong part.

The original Mach-E filter will look similar but is about 1" thick.

FYI Ford sells an upgraded premium cabin filter for about $18, see more details here: New Premium Cabin Air Filter from Ford
