Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
The 2018 Lexus LS 500 benefits from both an engine air filter and a cabin air filter, each serving distinct functions that protect performance and comfort. The engine air filter shields the twin-turbo 3.5L V6 from contaminants, preserving combustion efficiency, horsepower, and long-term reliability. A clogged engine filter can reduce airflow, negatively impact the fuel-air mixture, and increase wear on key components — problems that our certified technicians at Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, prevent through precise inspection and OEM replacements. The cabin air filter, by contrast, maintains interior air quality by trapping pollen, dust, and particulate matter, ensuring the climate control system works efficiently and occupants breathe cleaner air. Both filters are inexpensive insurance against more costly repairs and degraded comfort. At Park Place Lexus, we document condition, recommend replacements only when needed, and use genuine Lexus parts to protect value. When you want professional inspection and service financing options to make maintenance easier, schedule service with our team or review current service specials before you arrive. Our goal is to keep your LS 500 driving smoothly while minimizing lifetime ownership costs.
