The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box. Open it then empty all contents. Grab both sides inside the box and push them inward. The glove box will then drop out further. On the left side is a catch cable. Slide that down and pull it out. The box should then just pull out. The cover for the filter is rectangular and gray or black color. On the left side push the tab toward the passenger door and pull toward you. You will either find nothing or a screen. Discard the screen and insert the new filter.

If you are talking about the cabin air filter, this filters the outside air for the HVAC.

Remove the screws that hold the horizontal filter housing cover from behind the glove box (no need to open the glove box);

Pull the cabin filter straight down (sits vertical behind the glove box inside the housing).

Install replacement and reattach the cover.

drain your transmission,and while you have the pan off,replace the transmission filter. refill to level specs. also replace the air filter and pcv valve.

if your getting oil in the air filter area, you have a leaking intake gasket or a leaking head gasket, run a compression test on it,
if the compression is where it should be on all cylinders then its a leaking intake gasket!!!

I'd be looking at removing IAC valve, and cleaning it out with throttle body spray cleaner, and checking mounting gasket as well. Usually some success with cleaning it & spray ports it came out of, but if not you may need to replace it.

I had a problem with my 2000 ranger when I bought it. Air was coming out of defroster vents. Check for a vacuum hose that may be off under the hood. It uses vacuum to open the vents.

a bad pcv valve causes oil in the air filter housing the hose runs to the pcv valve
