2020 Ford Transit Crew Van Air Filter

The engine air filter on the 2020 Ford Transit Crew Van is housed in the engine bay inside the rectangular airbox near the front passenger-side of the engine compartment.

This placement makes the engine filter accessible for visual inspection and replacement without major disassembly. Technicians at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper inspect the airbox and intake housing for debris during the visit to confirm proper sealing and to protect the 3.5L V6 intake system.

• Located in the engine bay airbox, front passenger side.
• Accessible for quick inspection during routine service.
• Technician checks intake housing and seals when replacing the filter.

The cabin air filter for the 2020 Ford Transit Crew Van is located behind the glove box, inside the HVAC housing behind the dash.

Accessing the cabin filter usually requires lowering or removing the glove box panel to reach the filter door. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper we inspect the HVAC housing and drain paths while changing the cabin filter to reduce musty odors and maintain airflow for passengers.

• Found behind the glove box in the dash HVAC housing.
• Glove-box removal or lowering is commonly required for access.
• Technician inspects HVAC housing and drain channels during service.

The engine air filter cleans combustion intake air for the 3.5L V6 engine; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment through the HVAC system.

The two filters serve separate systems: one protects engine components and fuel economy, the other protects occupant comfort and HVAC performance. Replacing both as needed helps prevent reduced engine power and poor cabin airflow during Draper’s dusty summers and pollen seasons.

• Engine filter: protects engine and intake components from dust and debris.
• Cabin filter: blocks pollen, dust and road particulates from the passenger cabin.
• Both are inspected together to maintain engine health and interior air quality.

Common signs include reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, rough idle for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or a musty odor for the cabin filter.

Drivers in Draper often report accelerated symptoms after dusty road runs or during high pollen season. If you notice the Transit Crew Van struggling on hills or the HVAC blowing weakly, book an inspection so technicians can confirm filter condition and check related components like the intake housing and MAF sensor.

• Engine symptoms: reduced power, sluggish acceleration, lower mpg.
• Cabin symptoms: reduced HVAC airflow, unpleasant or musty odors.
• Technician check: intake housing, MAF visual inspection, HVAC drains.

You can usually replace the engine air filter yourself because it’s accessible in the engine bay, while the cabin filter often requires glove-box removal and technician assistance at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper is common.

Many owners handle the engine filter swap with basic tools and a clean workspace. The cabin filter is more involved; dealer service includes a visual HVAC inspection, intake/MAF check, and proper disposal. If you prefer OEM-spec parts and a multi-point check, schedule an appointment through our service scheduler.

• Engine filter: often DIY-friendly with basic tools.
• Cabin filter: usually requires glove-box or trim removal.
