Where is the air filter in a 2015 Lexus IS 250?

• The cabin air filter sits behind the glovebox or under the cowl and protects the HVAC system and passenger air quality.
• Our technicians at Park Place Lexus in Plano inspect both locations during routine service to ensure fit, OEM parts and proper installation.
• If you prefer, schedule service and we’ll perform a thorough inspection and recommend replacements or cleaning.

How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2015 Lexus IS 250?

What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects engine internals and fuel efficiency; the cabin air filter protects occupants from pollen, dust and odors entering the HVAC system.
• Both are critical: a clogged engine filter reduces power and fuel economy; a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC performance and interior air quality.
• Park Place Lexus uses OEM parts and transparent pricing so you get the right filter for each function—see current service specials for bundled savings.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Engine air filter: reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, rough idling or unusual engine noises—our certified technicians diagnose and recommend the right solution.
• Cabin air filter: weak or dirty-smelling airflow from vents, increased dust on interior surfaces, or allergy symptoms—replacement restores fresh air and HVAC efficiency.
• We emphasize fast, reliable service at Park Place Lexus Plano with OEM parts, clear estimates and the option to schedule service online. Ask about service financing to manage costs.
