Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter for the 2020 Lexus IS 300

Although both filters are essential, the engine air filter and cabin air filter serve distinct functions for the 2020 Lexus IS 300.

At Park Place Lexus in Plano, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine services and recommend replacements based on real measured condition—not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
