KAX CA10242 CF11176 is a two-piece replacement kit containing one engine air filter and one cabin air filter designed to fit select Ford and Lincoln models, providing dual protection for engine performance and in-cabin air quality.

Keep your Ford Explorer, Taurus, Flex, Police Interceptor Utility or Sedan, Special Service Police Sedan, and Lincoln MKS running smoothly and breathing easier with a combined replacement set that eliminates the guesswork of separate orders. This kit unites an engine filter and a cabin filter engineered with multi-layer media and activated coconut-shell charcoal to trap particles and reduce odors. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to maintain filtration where it matters most—under the hood and inside the cabin.

How will this kit affect my car’s daily performance?

Replacing the engine filter restores airflow to the intake, helping the engine operate efficiently under normal driving conditions. Cleaner air supply supports stable combustion dynamics and helps prevent buildup on intake components.

• Engine air filter pleats capture dust and coarse particles before they reach the intake.
• Designed to match factory fitment for the listed Ford and Lincoln models.
• Simple swap keeps airflow consistent and may reduce strain on the engine’s air system.

What does the cabin filter do for my daily commute?

The cabin filter cleans the air entering the passenger compartment and the included activated charcoal layer reduces unpleasant smells from traffic and road pollution. This improves comfort for drivers and passengers without altering HVAC function.

• Coconut-shell activated charcoal neutralizes odors and volatile compounds.
• Multi-layer filtration captures pollen, dust, and finer airborne debris.
• Compact design installs behind the glovebox or HVAC intake depending on model.

How easy is it to install the KAX replacement set?

This kit was built for straightforward, do-it-yourself maintenance: most installs are completed in about five minutes per filter with no special tools. The pair arrives matched for the applicable vehicle group so you can replace both filters at once and avoid an incomplete service.

• One-purchase convenience—engine and cabin filters included together.
• Step-by-step fitment follows the vehicle’s factory access points for quick replacement.
• Recommended to replace both filters at the same interval for coordinated upkeep.

When should I replace these filters and what are the maintenance benefits?

KAX recommends swapping both filters together every 12 months or 12,000 miles under typical driving conditions. Regular replacement keeps airflow and filtration at peak function, helping preserve HVAC comfort and consistent engine breathing over time.

• Suggested replacement interval: every 12 months or 12,000 miles.
• Bundled purchase reduces long-term maintenance costs and forgotten parts.
• Routine changes help avoid odor buildup and reduce particulate intrusion into systems.

Who is this for: Drivers of compatible Ford and Lincoln vehicles who want a simple, cost-effective way to maintain both engine air supply and interior air quality. This two-filter kit is ideal for owners who prefer proactive, time-saving upkeep and who value odor reduction and particle filtration without a service visit.
