2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty Air Filter in Westborough, MA

Follow the interval listed in your 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty owner’s maintenance schedule.

Ford’s maintenance schedule is the authority for interval timing; MetroWest driving (Route 9, I-495) and seasonal pollen or dust can shorten service life. Our Westborough team can inspect your filter at each oil change and advise based on local conditions and your towing/hauling duty cycle. If you’re unsure, book a quick check and we’ll document its condition and seal integrity.

Timing depends on exposure to pollen, road dust, and how often you use the HVAC system. Central Massachusetts sees heavy spring pollen and salty winter slush, both of which can impact media life.

It sits in the underhood airbox (driver-side) ahead of the intake duct on the 6.8L V8.

Open the hood and trace the intake duct from the grille area to the airbox; the panel filter is inside that housing. The mass airflow (MAF) sensor is typically mounted near the duct, so avoid contamination. If you prefer not to disturb sensors or seals, our technicians can swap the filter and verify the housing fitment quickly.
