Review on ECOGARD XC36174 Premium Cabin Air Filter for Ford Escape 2013-2020, Focus 2012-2018, Transit Connect 2014-2021, C-Max 2013-2018, GT 2017-2020, Lincoln MKC 2015-2019, Corsair 2020 by Brian Delgado

Same size and installation as Motorcraft factory OEM filters. The pleats feel strong and the fibers remained intact even after the filter was kinked, torn out and kinked again. The car is a 2015 Ford Focus and installation on this model is a little tricky compared to any other cabin air filter I have had to install. Essentially, you have to slide it into the passenger-side airbox. I pushed the filter in too far at first and had to take it off to put it back in. Although the filter was a little dirty, it didn't crack and remained intact even after such a tough test. When installing, make sure it lines up with the corners of the duct to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter. Overall I like the filter for the money and may buy it again when the time comes.
