Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter for your 2016 Lexus IS 300 helps you prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake from abrasive particles, supporting peak horsepower, torque, and fuel economy; a clogged engine filter can reduce acceleration and increase fuel consumption. The cabin air filter protects occupants by filtering pollen, dust, and exhaust particulates before they enter the cabin, preserving HVAC efficiency and comfort. Both filters are critical: one preserves mechanical health and efficiency, the other protects comfort and air quality. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters, recommend OEM replacements when needed, and apply transparent pricing. Take advantage of our service specials and service financing to address both items now and avoid higher costs later. Ready for service?
