Replace with the same motorcraft filter assy. There's none better out there. You can get it for a good price at Home - Diesel Filters,Additives,brake rotors, and brake pads for Chevy, Dodge and Ford Diesel Trucks. Also, there's no need to change until the filter minder indicates it's time. I replaced mine near 95K miles and only because I had it out while doing other maintenance. I probably could have gone well over 100K miles before changing.

Iv got almost 80000 miles on mine and its not at 50% even
I did blow it out with my air compressor once man that got a TON of dirt out It was amazing to see all the dirt that I blew out of it
this is the best oem air filter Iv ever had
I am going to change mine this weekend I found one off a guy for 20bucks brand new in the box blue filter media
It doesnt need it per the filter minder but I want to see if it helps my fuel milage

Make sure the filter element has a blue color to it, it's a waterproofing and there are replacements such as Fram that don't have the treatment. I just replaced mine at 132,000 the gauge was at 3/4

This is VERY important. The white filters don't last NEARLY as long and aren't as cost or mechanically effective as the blue filters.

I agree this is a great place to buy filters. Just recently bought my fuel and oil filters through them. Fast shipping and great prices.
