The 2016 Ford Focus RS engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox in the engine bay, while the cabin filter is mounted behind the glove box.

The Focus RS uses a panel-style engine filter inside the intake housing; releasing the airbox clips gives access for inspection or replacement. The cabin filter is accessed by dropping the glove box and removing a small access panel. If you prefer, our Westborough service team can perform both quickly and verify seals and airflow.

• Engine filter: panel element inside engine-bay airbox
• Cabin filter: behind glove box access door
• Always align cabin filter airflow arrows correctly

The engine air filter protects the 2.3L turbocharged intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

On the Focus RS, a clean engine filter helps maintain 350 hp performance and throttle response, while the cabin filter reduces dust, pollen, and debris inside the cabin. Both are routine maintenance items that improve drivability and comfort. Our team installs the correct Motorcraft elements for reliable fit and filtration.

• Engine filter affects power, mpg, and turbo longevity
• Cabin filter affects HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality
