What types of air filters are in a 2015 Ford Escape?

Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and cabin air filter for your 2015 Ford Escape helps prioritize maintenance and budget. The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 1.6L inline engine by keeping abrasive particles out of intake passages, preserving horsepower (178 hp at 5700 rpm) and torque delivery. A clogged engine filter increases airflow resistance, which forces the engine to work harder and can reduce fuel economy and turbocharger longevity. The cabin air filter, by contrast, improves passenger comfort and HVAC efficiency by filtering pollen, dust, and road odors. Both filters contribute to overall vehicle health: one to mechanical performance and the other to occupant wellbeing. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our service team inspects both filters during routine maintenance visits, explains their condition in plain language, and recommends OEM replacements that maintain factory performance. We emphasize transparency, and every warranty-covered repair must be performed at a certified dealership to protect your coverage.
