The 2023 Ford F-150 engine air filter sits in a rectangular airbox on the driver side of the engine bay.

Release the clips on the airbox to access the filter element that feeds the 3.3L V6 (engine code 6VNAF3.3). Ensure the lid and ducting seal properly after replacement to maintain correct airflow and MAF readings. If you prefer, our technicians can perform a quick inspection and replacement with the correct Motorcraft part.

• Driver-side airbox, top-mounted clips
• Feeds 3.3L V6 intake
• Verify lid seal and duct fit

The engine air filter protects the 3.3L V6’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

Under the hood, the engine filter prevents dust and debris from lowering performance or fuel economy. Inside, the cabin filter improves the air you breathe and helps HVAC efficiency. Both are serviceable items and benefit from periodic inspection based on driving conditions.

• Engine filter = combustion protection
• Cabin filter = passenger HVAC air
• Both are routine maintenance

Common signs include reduced power or MPG (engine filter) and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

If the engine filter is restricted, you may feel sluggish acceleration or see lower fuel economy from your 10-speed automatic F-150. A dirty cabin filter can cause noisy fans with little airflow or lingering odors. Our Brownsburg team can confirm the cause and replace with Motorcraft filters.

• Engine: hesitation, rough idle
• Cabin: poor defogging, odor
• Book an inspection

Yes—the engine filter is DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter sits behind the glove box and is moderately more involved.

Many owners can unclip the engine airbox and drop in a Motorcraft element. The cabin filter typically requires lowering the glove box and removing a small access panel.
