Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2020 Lexus NX 300 has two distinct filtration systems serving different purposes: the engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine (engine code 4ITCG2.0) from particulate contamination, ensuring stable combustion and preserving the vehicles rated performance; the cabin air filter protects occupants from dust, pollen, and vehicle-borne pollutants and helps the HVAC system run efficiently. Maintaining both filters is essential for peak vehicle health. Neglecting the engine air filter can reduce horsepower and harm fuel economy; ignoring the cabin filter can compromise comfort and air quality. At Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. We document service to protect warranty coverage and help maintain resale value. Our process prioritizes speed—most filter replacements are quick, affordable services that yield immediate improvements in throttle response and airflow. We also provide transparent pricing and regular service specials so you receive greater long-term savings.
