2013 Ford C-Max-Hybrid Air Filter in Fort Worth, TX

The 2013 Ford C-Max-Hybrid’s engine air filter sits inside the airbox in the engine bay, typically forward and to one side of the engine.

This airbox location lets our Fort Worth technicians access the filter without disturbing hybrid components, ensuring a precise seal on the intake. For interior air, the cabin filter is typically positioned behind the glove box. McDavid Ford uses Motorcraft filters designed for the C-Max-Hybrid’s intake and HVAC airflow targets to maintain efficiency and cabin comfort across Texas driving conditions.

• Engine filter: enclosed airbox in the engine compartment
• Cabin filter: generally behind the glove box panel
