Why change your air filter?
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 1998 Ford Expedition for several reasons:
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a greater amount of air to reach the engine, which enhances overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
- Cleaner air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for everyone on board.
- Extending the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter can also help improve the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
By changing the air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Ford Expedition engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants

How often should I change my cabin air filter?

If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you often drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 1998 Ford Expedition for off-roading, change your air filter more often.
It’s also important to pay attention to the signs that the filter needs to be changed, including:
- Reduced airflow from the vents
- Increased dust and debris inside the cabin
