This is a Genuine OEM Engine Air Filter, identified by the Ford part number AV61-96-01AE. This is the factory-original component crucial for the health and performance of the engines in the Ford Focus (MK3) and Ford Kuga (MK2).
This filter is essential for vehicles equipped with the modern, small-displacement EcoBoost Turbo Petrol Engines (1.0L and 1.5L), as well as the naturally aspirated and diesel variants. In turbocharged engines, the quality and fitment of the air filter are paramount, as the turbo spins at extremely high RPMs and must be protected from abrasive dust.
Using the Genuine Part (AV61-96-01AE) ensures:
Guaranteed Fitment and Sealing: Manufactured to the exact specifications for a perfect, airtight seal within the air box housing, preventing any unfiltered air from bypassing the element and entering the engine.
Optimal Filtration Media: Utilizes specialized media engineered by Ford to provide the essential balance of high filtration efficiency and low air flow restriction, critical for maintaining the engine's power, responsiveness, and fuel economy.
Turbo Protection: Provides the highest level of guaranteed protection for the sensitive turbocharger and direct-injection components against contaminants.
Regular replacement of this Genuine Filter, according to the vehicle's maintenance schedule, is essential for maintaining peak engine output and efficiency, and ensuring the longevity of the turbo system.
