Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2015 Ford Explorer?

The 2015 Ford Explorer’s engine air filter sits inside the black plastic air box at the front of the engine bay, connected to the intake snorkel.

This air box opens via clips or screws, allowing quick access to the panel-style filter used by the 3.5-liter V6 with twin turbochargers. If you drive Salt Lake City side streets near I-15/I-80, dust can load the filter more quickly. Our location near downtown makes inspections easy to add to any visit.

Look for a rectangular air box with intake tubing and a mass airflow sensor nearby.
Release the air box clips, lift the lid, and match the new filter’s airflow arrow.
Re-seat the lid evenly to avoid unmetered air leaks around the housing.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2015 Ford Explorer?

The engine air filter protects the 3.5-liter V6 by cleaning intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

Both are important but do different jobs. The engine filter supports performance and fuel economy, especially on Wasatch Front commutes. The cabin filter helps reduce dust and odors from city traffic and seasonal events around Smiths Ballpark and downtown.

Engine filter: panel element in the air box; affects power and MPG.
Cabin filter: behind the glove box area; affects airflow and interior air quality.
Upgraded cabin media (charcoal) can help with odors and urban pollutants.

What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2015 Ford Explorer?

Common signs include sluggish acceleration, reduced fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty interior odors.

Road dust from construction corridors near I-15/I-80 and pollen tracked along the valley can load filters faster. If your Explorer feels down on power or your vents blow weakly, a quick check can confirm restriction. Our Salt Lake City shop can inspect both filters during the same visit.

Can I replace the air filter on my 2015 Ford Explorer myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yesthe engine air filter is DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter needs glove box access and trim release that many owners prefer a technician to handle.

A home swap of the engine filter only requires basic tools and careful seating of the air box lid. Dealer service adds an intake seal check and a visual mass airflow (MAF) sensor inspection to prevent unmetered air. If you prefer professional help, you can schedule service and review service specials online.
