The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) engine air filter in this 2020 EcoSport Titanium EcoBoost 1.0L I3 was part number FoMoCo GN15-9601-AA which is also known as Motorcraft FA1935.

A few other air filters that are compatible with their part numbers include the following: Wix WA10831, ACDelco A3418C and Hastings PA10408.

No tools are needed to access and replace the engine air filter.

A wet/dry shop vacuum may be useful for cleaning out any debris in the bottom half of the air box or for cleaning the old filter if you plan on using it for a few more miles.

The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay.

The black plastic engine air filter housing is located behind the driver side headlight housing, in front of the 12V automotive battery and to the left of the windshield washer fluid filler tube.

Locate the two black metal latches on the right side of the air box cover.

Once the two latches have been released, lift open the right side of the air box cover.

Push in the release tab on the electrical connector for the IAT (intake air temperature) sensor before pulling it straight off.

Set the cover aside on the left of the filter housing.

Inspect both sides of the old filter.

If the old filter is dark gray or black and clogged with dirt, dust, sand, pollen, soot, leaves, insects, hair and other debris, it should be replaced with a new element.

If the old filter is relatively clean, just tap out the large debris and remove any fine dust with a vacuum cleaner.

Orientate the new filter with the foam rubber gasket facing up towards you.

Lower the cover down over the housing and slide the two tabs into their slots.

Push the electrical connector back on to the IAT sensor. You should feel or hear the power plug "click" securely into place.

Make sure the two halves of the air box are flush together with no part of the new filter visible at the edges.

Don't forget to write down the filter change in your vehicle's service records.

The scheduled maintenance section of the owner's manual specifies that the engine air filter should be replaced every 18,500 miles (or every 30,000 km).
