But thanks to this FRAM engine air filter, I just saved myself from handing over a small fortune to the dealership for something I discovered I could do in five minutes flat. FIVE. MINUTES. Seriously, this thing popped right in like it was happy to be there. No tools, no stress, no “check engine” light drama. Just clean air for my engine and a solid sense of pride. It’s like adulting, but with victory music playing in the background. Why would anyone pay the dealership an arm, a leg, and possibly a spleen for something you can do in your driveway with zero curse words (okay, maybe one, but it was out of joy)? Bottom line: this filter fits perfectly, works like a charm, and gives you a borderline-superhero feeling when you realize you did a car thing. Highly recommend. Buy it, install it, and spend your saved cash on snacks—you’ve earned it. Review: Great replacement for almost half the price. - Great replacement, cheaper than the auto part store, and functions great. I put some smell-good oil on mine, and it makes my car smell good. The airflow is great, super easy to use and install, the filter is good quality, and it's quite durable. i would recommend it saved me money and does what I needed it to do 100%. ## Features - VEHICLE APPLICATIONS: Ford (12-14 Edge 2.0L, 07-14 Edge 3.5L, 11-14 Edge 3.7L, 12-15 Explorer 2.0L, 16-22 Explorer 2.3L, 20-22 Explorer 3.5L, 11-19 Explorer 3.5L, 09-19 Flex 3.5L, 10-12 Fusion 3.5L, 13-19 Police Interceptor Sedan/Utility 3.5L & 3.7L, 20-22 Interceptor Utility 3.0L) - ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS: Ford (19-20 Police Responder Hybrid 2.0L, 14-18 Special Service Police 2.0L, 13-17 Taurus 2.0L, 08-19 Taurus 3.5L), Lincoln (20-23 Aviator 3.0L, 10-16 MKS 3.5L & 3.7L, 13-16 MKT 2.0L, 10-19 MKT 3.5L & 3.7L, and others), Mazda 08-15 CX-9 3.7L, Mercury 08-09 Sable 3.5L - DOUBLE MAXIMUM PROTECTION: FRAM automotive replacement engine filter provides 2x the protection compared to standard filters for up to 12,000 miles. - TRAPS DIRT AND FILTH: Various damaging particles and dust can collect over your engine, however, with FRAM car air filter, Extra Guard entraps these particles for a safer, cleaner, and quality engine performance. - EASY INSTALLATION: A seamless DIY replacement that can be completed in minutes.
