Today we're going to go over the absolute first thing you do when you pick up a used
Mustang - Super simple! Replace that Cabin air filter! We'll dive into a product review
and an installation on how to get it done on your S550 Mustang. So, let's dive in!
Alright, so you're at the dealer picking up your used Mustang, whether it's certified pre-owned or
not - it's used. Point is, someone else had that car before you. Honestly, the best way to put it
is - I'm a little bit of a germaphobe. So the idea that this car was owned by somebody else before
me, and I'm gonna be breathing the same air they were breathing - I have seasonal allergies. Nobody
likes pollen, the point is regardless of whether you're picking up a used car or you're on that
30,000 mile recommended interval for the cabin air filter. This is a super easy swap and it's
a no-brainer. Again if you're picking up a used car, just one of the first things you want to do.
This is a direct replacement Ford Motorcraft Filter that will go directly in place of the
factory filter and the passenger compartment on your S550 Mustang. It's a super easy installation,
you pull the panel off slide it in. We're going to dive in and show you right now.
All right so installation is pretty easy, all you need is a T20 Torx bit. You'll slide the old cabin
air filter out once you get the panel off and then the new cabin air filter in. So the
next part's a little hard to see, what you're going to do is you're going to go under here
and you'll see a cover with a screw the T20 Torx bit that you'd be able to pull that cover off,
pull the air filter out and slide the new one in we have a gopro down there
so you can see a little bit better so we'll hop to that so you can see what I'm doing.
Slide the old one out take note of the flap.
In this case the flap is aiming towards this blower motor right here.
Oh God that's gross ew slide it out.
This is why we were replacing it. Talk about gross this vehicle has 25 000 miles on it. I think
you're supposed to do this actually yeah every 30 000 miles is when you're supposed to replace these
cabin air filters. I try to do it every time i pick up a used vehicle just because it's something
that should be doing for health concerns and stuff like that, anyways got this brand spanking new
one. Take note of the arrow pointing to airflow on the outside border of each filter. Like I
said the flaps are aiming towards that blower motor on the bottom so you just kind of slide this
new one in, put the cover back on and you're done. So it's not going to go in super clean but...
You should be able to scrunch it in there.
It slides right in.
Grab the cover.
Alright, once you have it you hold it into place, grab your screw. Start to thread it in by hand.
And after that, you're totally done.
All in all - installation isn't too bad. Get rid of that dirty air filter, super easy it's pretty
cheap modification and frankly it allows you to breathe some nice clean fresh air.
