94,747 miles.
Decided to replace the rear AC/cabin filter (FP51) today. Any time I install a new filter I always write the mileage and date on it. No joke, I randomly happened to replace the filter EXACTLY 2 years after the last time I changed it, to the day. November 27th. Wow.
The old filter was fairly dirty, which I think is a good sign as it means the system is operating properly and pulling air from outside when it needs to. It went a little longer than recommended; 24,702 miles (10-20k replacement recommended).
As I have said before (Replaced Air Filters), replacing the rear air filter in the hybrid Escape is the easiest maintenance job you will ever do. It's even easier than putting gas in the car, I promise you. Amazon sells them for $15, so I always reach for one if I need to fill my cart to get the free shipping. It takes less than a minute to install, no tools required, and it's all interior so you won't even get your hands dirty.
