How often do you change your engine air filter?

I can say it again, although it probably won't make any difference. It's not a question of money. Changing an air filter early is just as bad as waiting too long to change it. The filtering capacity doesn't become optimal until the filter collects some dirt. Until then, a lot of that dirt is just passing right through it.
Like Ricktwuhk says, follow the manual. If your driving conditions are really dusty, change it a little sooner.

Everyone's driving conditions are different. To change at the optimum time for you depends on where and how you drive. Some people could go 30k with no problem, some could need changed at 10K.
Screw the manual and check it each time you change your oil. Generally speaking between 20 and 30K is when it's going to need changed.

Yes, you're wasting money. But it's your money, so do what you want.
For what it's worth, you also spent money on a manual. I'd go with what that says. Ford has a modified maintenance schedule for vehicles under severe service.

Give me a break. I was curious about a high performance filter so I’m giving it a try. It’s reusable so it’s probably less expensive in the long run.
