Replacing an air filter in a Ford Mustang is a quick and simple task. A clean air filter allows the engine to work less, making for longer engine life and better gas mileage. Ford recommends changing the air filter every 3,000 miles when the car has been driven in overly dusty conditions, or every 30,000 miles for typical use.
Turn off the car and pop open the hood. Prop the hood up with the metal post found on the side of the car frame.
Locate the air filter in the front corner on the driver's side of the car. Look for a black box that has a raised lid with a tube exiting from it.
Open the air filter housing on the Ford Mustang by undoing the clips. Take off the lid and set it aside.
Remove the old filter from the housing unit. Throw the old filter in the trash. Clean out any leaves or other debris from the box.
Replace the old filter with a K&N number K33332298 filter when you have a Mustang that was manufactured from 2005 to 2008. Verify with your auto supply store the correct model of filter for your year of Mustang.
Place the lid back on the air filter compartment. Secure the lid by fastening the screws or the clips that hold it in place.
