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

• The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake system and combustion efficiency; the cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and pollutants entering the HVAC system.
• Both matter: a clogged engine filter reduces power and fuel economy, while a dirty cabin filter degrades air quality and HVAC performance—our technicians inspect both during service.
• We use OEM filters and document work clearly so you see the value; warranty-covered repairs must be done at certified dealerships like Park Place Lexus Plano.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, decreased fuel economy, rough idle, or unusual smells in the cabin are common indicators that an air or cabin filter needs attention.
• Our certified techs diagnose airflow and filtration issues quickly; choosing dealership service often saves you money long term by preventing secondary damage and preserving warranty coverage.
