The ford performance air filter

[MikeR397]

To clean mine I get a bucket large enough to submerge the filter and fill it with warm tap water. Then I pour in about a half a cup of Simple Green, 3 capfuls of Dawn. I shake out the loose dirt first ....... you could also tap it gently a few times then submerge the filter and swirl it in the mixture for about 20 seconds. Let it sit for an hour then re-swirl before removing, I rinse with a nozzle-less garden hose inside out, shake off the excess water and let dry in the sun on my backyard deck. When it drys, the filter looks brand new. I use this process when I do my yardwork on the weekends ..... kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak. Some peeps use a hair dryer after the wash, but the sun works great for me. If you have to drive the car just put the paper filter back on temporarily.

I have not had to clean mine yet, but this is my plan, just dawn and water and air dry

Thanks for the part number! I just just ordered a red one also!

very nice, I got mine the other day also and I put it in today..

Lightrules, where did you find a red one for $68 ? Amazon still lists the blue one for $61 but prices the red at $82. Seems silly they would charge more for the color.

Unless I missed something, I haven't heard anyone mention other filter choices. JLT has some very nice stock replacement filter choices made by S&B filters. I run the powerstack white dry air filter. I also have a black JLT pre-filter to add some additional protection and to hide the filter in the engine compartment.

happy new year.

When I search that link it tells me that it does not fit my car... 2020R

Change you search for a 2018 or 2019. If it fits those it will fit yours. Nothing has changed.

This is a great idea - I will try next time!

You should put one of these in the bottom of the bucket. I use them when I wash cars. You’d be amazed the a amount of debris and sediment settles and this thing will trap, rather than re-swirl back up.

pretty cool still 61 bucks only. apparently the red one went up in price already. anyway good job man you going to like it, took me literally two minutes to install it. I think it's 8 millimeter socket.

8 mm sounds about right. I only put 20 miles on the car before I stored it with the OEM filter so I don’t think I’ll be able to tell the difference in pedal response. But I do remember hearing the whooshing sound of the intake sucking in the air. Looking forward to hearing more of that.

Hey, Jim (18usc371), like that bucket gizmo, what is it called and where did you get it ? TIA.

Check Adams polishes website. It’s a dirt guard for the bottom of your buckets when you’re washing your car.
