Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in a 2018 Lexus LS 500h is simple but important: the engine filter preserves power, efficiency, and emissions control by stopping dirt from entering the 3.5L V6 and hybrid system, while the cabin filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and airborne irritants. Both filters deserve regular attention because a neglected engine filter can reduce horsepower and increase fuel consumption, and a clogged cabin filter can compromise HVAC performance and interior air quality. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service, document OEM replacements on your vehicle record, and recommend interval adjustments based on your driving conditions. We prioritize clarity — you’ll get an itemized estimate, an explanation of benefits, and options that balance cost and longevity. To keep both systems performing, schedule service online and review current service specials that make comprehensive care affordable.
