Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Lexus IS 200t uses two distinct filters with separate roles: the engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L engine and intake system from abrasive particles, while the cabin air filter screens pollen, dust, and pollutants from the passenger ventilation system. Maintaining both is essential—neglecting the engine filter reduces airflow, lowers fuel economy, and can accelerate wear on the turbocharger and intake components; an obstructed cabin filter reduces HVAC efficiency, increases blower motor strain, and degrades cabin air quality. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians evaluate both filters during routine service and explain which service actions deliver the best immediate and long-term value. We install OEM or factory-equivalent parts, so fit and filtration meet Lexus specifications. For convenience, flexible payment options are available through our service financing program, enabling immediate service with manageable terms.
