Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Lexus IS 300 relies on two critical filtration systems: the engine air filter that protects the 3.5L V6 from contaminants and the cabin air filter that preserves interior air quality. The engine air filter safeguards combustion efficiency, helping maintain the vehicle’s 255 horsepower and minimizing particulate buildup that can reduce fuel economy and accelerate wear. The cabin filter keeps pollen, dust, and urban pollutants from circulating through the HVAC system, improving comfort for drivers and passengers. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX we emphasize both filters as part of a holistic maintenance plan: our certified technicians inspect, advise, and replace with OEM parts to protect performance and resale value. Maintaining both filters reduces the chance of costly repairs later and improves immediate driving comfort and safety.
