2011 Ford Escape-Hybrid Air Filter in Lakewood, CO

The engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the sealed airbox that feeds the 2.5L inline-4 intake.

This airbox is designed to protect the hybrid’s intake tract from dust and debris while maintaining proper airflow. Cabin filtration, if equipped, is separate from the engine system. Our Lakewood service team can confirm your exact setup and replace the filter using Ford specifications. Book a quick visit online.
