If you do anything the most I'd do is this https://www.americantrucks.com/afe-m...lter-0917.html
That's it. Stock performs great.

Thank you all for the replies...
My next question was opened up by Notgrownup...
What do you guys think about just getting a K&N or other brand paper filter versus the recommended Ford brand?

i wouldn’t bother myself, the motorcraft filter has like a 99% filtration rate and exceeds the required airflow. Your best bet is to just make sure you change it at appropriate times (don’t let it get massively dirty).

- increases the likelihood of oil contaminating the MAF sensor. *Over time even minute oil contamination decreases power and MPG. When it's REALLY EXCESSIVE it will be intuitively obvious.
. - any increase in CFM comes at the expense of filtration.
. - cleaning is a PITA. *And, Yes, I've done it on MAS equipped vehicles.
. - Motorcraft, OEM air filters ...
- meets|exceeds engine air intake CFM requirements.
- good for 30,000+ miles (depending upon conditions).
- ABSOLUTELY NO possibility of MAF sensor oil contamination.
- dispose and replace maintenance.

If you want to change the filter to one with a little more airflow I'd stay away from the oiled ones.
