This listing describes an Aftermarket replacement for the Engine Air Filter, identified by the part number AB39-96-01AD-C. This part number cross-references the Ford Original Equipment (OE) number AB39-96-01AD (or the interchangeable AB3Z-96-01A). The suffix "-C" indicates that this is a non-OE, aftermarket part, commonly manufactured in China, and marketed as a budget alternative.
This filter is essential for the smooth operation and longevity of the 2.2L and 3.2L Duratorq (Puma) Turbo Diesel Engines found in the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50 pickup trucks. These turbodiesel engines require a high volume of clean, unrestricted air to maintain power and efficiency, especially under load and in dusty conditions.
Since this part is a CHINA PART:
Affordability: This option is typically the most economical choice for routine filter replacement, offering significant savings compared to Genuine parts.
Fitment: The filter is manufactured using the OE part's dimensions to ensure it fits correctly within the air box housing of the T6/T7/T8 platform vehicles.
Consideration: While designed to function similarly to the OE part, budget-tier aftermarket filters may use different media that could potentially affect the ultimate filtration efficiency or airflow quality compared to premium or Genuine filters. In a turbo diesel engine, superior filtration is critical to protect the turbocharger and engine internals.
Regular replacement of the air filter is essential maintenance to:
Engine Health: Protecting the sensitive turbocharger and internal diesel components from abrasive dust.
Performance: Ensuring maximum power and fuel efficiency by maintaining optimal airflow.
