Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference matters for the performance and comfort of your 2011 Lexus IS 250 C. The engine air filter protects the intake and combustion system—keeping dirt and abrasive particles out preserves horsepower, maintains the engine’s 204 HP output at peak RPM, and supports fuel efficiency. The cabin air filter protects passengers by filtering pollen, dust, and odors from the HVAC system. Both filters are vital: one preserves engine life and economy, the other preserves cabin comfort and air quality. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our certified technicians inspect both filters as part of routine maintenance and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. Dealer service delivers professional diagnostics, genuine parts, warranty-conscious installations, and clear documentation that supports any future warranty claims (repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership).
