Ford Excursion (2005 year). Manual — part 63

Changing the air filter element

1. Loosen the clamp that secures
the air filter element in place.

2. Carefully separate the two halves
of the air filter housing.

3. Remove the air filter element
from the open end of the air filter
housing.

4. Install a new air filter element, ensuring the arrow on the top half of
the air filter housing lines up with the notch on the bottom half of air
filter housing. Be careful not to crimp the filter element edges between
the air filter housing. This could cause filter damage and allow
unmetered air to enter the engine if not properly seated.

5. Replace the two halves of the air filter housing and secure the clamp.

Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle to the
bottom of the filler hole with the specified lubricant.

meeting Ford Specification EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of limited
