Lincoln Aviator: Maintenance / Changing the Engine Air Filter
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and personal burn injuries,
do not start your engine with the air
cleaner removed and do not remove it
while the engine is running.
When changing the engine air filter, do not
allow debris or foreign material to enter the
air induction system. Engine components
are susceptible to damage not covered by
the vehicle Warranty.
Change the air filter element at the correct
interval.
Incorrect component use can cause damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
To replace the air filter element do the
following:

- Remove the clips that secure the air filter
housing cover.
- Using a screwdriver, loosen two clamps
on either side of the air filter housing
cover.
- Gently pull the two boots back away from
the air filter housing cover.
- Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
- Remove the air filter element from the air
filter housing.
- Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter
housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.
- Install a new air filter element. Be careful
not to crimp the filter element edges
between the air filter housing and cover.
This could cause filter damage and allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine if it is
not properly seated.
- Install the air filter housing cover.
- Engage the clips to secure the air filter
housing cover to the air filter housing.
- Reconnect the two boots on the air filter
housing cover and torque to 3.69 lb.ft
(5 Nm).
WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down...
Other information:
WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.
WARNING: The fuel system may be
under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until
the sound stops...

in the vehicle are combination lap and
shoulder belts.

a snap and feel it latch. Make sure that
you securely fasten the tongue in the
