K&N Engine Air Filter for Ford V8/V10 – Long-Life 18,000‑Mile Replacement (KNE-0945)

K&N KNE-0945 is a long-life engine air filter engineered to deliver extended service intervals and high-efficiency protection for compatible Ford V8/V10 vehicles.

Designed and produced by K&N, a leader in performance air filtration since 1969, this replacement air filter uses a premium synthetic or cellulose-blend media to provide durable particle capture while fitting factory air boxes without modification. The Advantage Plus construction targets up to 18,000 miles of use between changes — roughly 50% longer than many conventional 12,000-mile disposable filters — and is built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for a straightforward swap-in installation.

Which vehicles will this K&N filter fit?

This filter is specified for a wide range of Ford and Lincoln models that use compatible airboxes and V8/V10 engines from the mid-1990s through 2019. Fitment covers E-series vans, Super Duty trucks, multiple F-series pickups, several Mustang and Lincoln models, and select chassis variants.

• Common fits include Ford E150/E250/E350/E450, F150–F550 trucks and Super Duty variants.
• Also listed for Mustang GT, SVT Cobra, Expedition, Excursion, Lincoln Navigator, Continental and select Econoline/Club Wagon models.
• Always verify part KNE-0945 against your vehicle year, engine and OEM part number before ordering.

How does the 18,000-mile life benefit me compared to standard filters?

The extended 18K service interval reduces the frequency of replacements, saving time and lowering maintenance costs over the vehicle’s life. Longer intervals are particularly helpful for drivers who cover highway miles where the filter reaches full life more slowly.

• Approximately 50% longer life than typical 12,000-mile disposable filters.
• Keeps filtration performance up to 99% under normal driving conditions.
• Reduces the number of filter changes across annual ownership.

Will installation require tools or modifications to my airbox?

The KNE-0945 is engineered to match OEM dimensions so it installs quickly into the factory airbox without cutting or permanent changes. Most users can complete the swap with basic hand tools and minimal mechanical experience.

• Direct-fit design for simple bolt or clip reassembly.
• No permanent modifications to stock air intake components required.
• Typical installation time: minutes, not hours.

What level of engine protection and warranty does this filter offer?

K&N’s Advantage Plus media provides high-efficiency particle retention to protect intake systems while supporting engine performance. The product carries a standard 1-year limited warranty for manufacturing defects, and is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM filtration and fit standards.

• Premium media delivers up to 99% filtration efficiency depending on application.
• Built to OEM fit, form and function expectations.
• Includes a 1-year limited warranty against defects.

Who is this for: The K&N KNE-0945 suits owners of compatible Ford and Lincoln V8/V10 vehicles who want a durable replacement that extends service intervals while maintaining strong particle protection. It’s a practical choice for drivers who value fewer maintenance stops, easy installation, and a filter built to OEM standards — ideal for daily drivers, fleet vehicles, and performance-minded owners seeking reliable, long-life filtration.
