Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2017 Lexus RC 300 is simple but important. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 intake from dust and particles that can reduce horsepower and fuel efficiency; keeping it clean preserves the vehicle’s designed 255 hp output and improves throttle response. The cabin air filter, by contrast, focuses on passenger comfort—filtering pollen, dust, and road odors so the HVAC system runs efficiently and the interior air quality remains high. Both filters contribute to the long life of mechanical systems and the daily comfort of occupants. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our factory-trained technicians perform a complete inspection of both filters during service visits. We use OEM parts and provide clear, upfront pricing and warranty information. By maintaining both filters on schedule you reduce the chance of costly repairs later, improve fuel economy, and protect your investment.
