In this tutorial, you'll learn how to replace the air filter in a 2015 Ford Focus with a K&N high-performance air filter. This process can enhance your vehicle's power and fuel efficiency, as advertised by K&N. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and effective installation.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before starting, make sure you have the following tools ready:

  • Eight millimeter socket or screwdriver
  • A container to hold screws
  • K&N E-2993 air filter

Step 2: Remove the Battery Cover

  • Locate the battery cover in your engine bay.
  • Use the eight millimeter socket to remove the screws securing the battery cover.
    • There are four screws in total:
      • Two in the front
      • One towards the back
      • One on the side
  • Set the screws aside in a container to avoid losing them.
  • Carefully lift the battery cover off and place it to the side.

Step 3: Unscrew the Air Filter Housing

  • With the battery cover removed, locate the air filter housing.
  • Use the eight millimeter socket to remove the screws from the air filter housing.
  • Note that the fourth screw at the back may not come out completely; leave it in place for easier reassembly.

Step 4: Remove the Air Filter

  • Once the screws are out, gently pull up on the air filter housing to access the air filter.
  • You may need to twist the housing slightly while pulling upward to detach it completely.
  • After detaching, take out the old air filter and set it aside.

Step 5: Install the K&N Air Filter

  • Take your new K&N air filter (E-2993) and position it in the air filter housing.
  • Ensure it fits snugly and securely.
  • Reattach the air filter housing by aligning it properly and pushing it back into place.

Step 6: Reassemble the Components

  • Reinsert the screws into the air filter housing and tighten them using the eight millimeter socket.
  • Replace the battery cover and secure it with the screws you previously removed.
