Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in your 2014 Lexus RX 450h helps prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter safeguards the powertrain by ensuring clean intake air for combustion, affecting fuel economy and engine longevity. The cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from allergens and particulates. Both are essential: neglected engine filters reduce performance and may increase emissions, while clogged cabin filters lower comfort and strain the HVAC blower. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our certified technicians inspect both filters, recommend OEM replacements, and document work for warranty and resale value. We provide transparent pricing, immediate service, and long-term savings through preventive care. Ready to protect performance and comfort?
