Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2013 Lexus IS 350 relies on two different filters to protect performance and comfort: an engine air filter that keeps the 3.5L V6 breathing clean air and a cabin air filter that preserves interior air quality. The engine air filter directly influences horsepower, throttle response and fuel economy — when it’s clogged, the engine works harder and efficiency drops. The cabin filter affects HVAC performance and the air you breathe, blocking pollen, dust, and road particulate matter that can aggravate allergies. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance and recommend OEM replacements when needed. We use genuine Lexus parts to maintain factory tolerances and ensure longevity. Choosing service at our dealership delivers transparent pricing, warranty-backed parts and repairs, and the peace of mind that any warranty-covered work is completed by factory-trained staff. For convenience, we offer service financing to spread payments and a comfortable service experience with amenities designed for busy drivers.
