    The dealer told you right.Believe it or not,the filter is engineered to last for the lifetime of the Focus and is very difficult to change even if it was supposed to be.Hard to believe but true.

    i guess you could tap it on the ground and get a majority of the dirt out.

    You don't, you change it for a new one, and throw the old one out.
