Me being a tightwad...looked for best deal...here's what I ordered from Advance Auto
Just in case others may want to get a deal.

AFE 31-10215

View attachment 4434

great deal, that's cheaper than my dealer cost haha.

Side note when you order from Advance Auto, if they offer it for in-store pickup you can do that and save the shipping charges as well. TRT30 is a common 30% off code that I use often when they are cheaper than my dealer cost haha.

The one I ordered is a dry filter , no oil.
My understanding is to use a mild soap and water to wash it and no air pressure , just rinse and dry.
At 30k miles.

My order has been sitting "in process" for 9 days now. I will probably be getting a email shortly saying "out of stock" Bummer ☹️

I had to contact them thru texting twice to even get an answer. I gave them an ear full about not telling me after waiting over a week.

I just found this now. When I added that specific air filter to my cart it didn't say it fit the Explorer ST. There was a 15% discount code that was able to be used MAR15 though. Total after tax was $65.01.

That coupon code doesn't work anymore or at least when I put it in. It does say out of stock though.

Anyone try the AEM performance drop in air filter? It's also a dry filter and seems to be around $42 at Whoosh Motorsports.

I couldn't find a dealer for AEM.
But, I did find lots of reviews rated it higher than AFE and K&N.

Not sure if you ordered yet but when I proceed to checkout from ZFG they charge $15 for shipping for me. Unless you have a coupon code. I found it on Amazon if you have prime it ships free and only charges tax. Much cheaper for me that way and should be delivered within a couple days.

Man these old wives tales about oiled filters just won’t die. There could be issues with an over oiled filter and MAF sensors. That won’t be an issue on these things. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using a high quality oiled filter.
