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

• The engine air filter protects the engine by removing contaminants from intake air; the cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment.
• Both impact comfort and vehicle health: a clogged engine filter affects performance; a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC efficiency and air quality.
• Park Place Lexus uses OEM filters to preserve performance and in‑car air quality, and we will explain the benefits and costs during inspection.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration or throttle response, decreased fuel efficiency, unusual engine sounds, or a rich-running condition can indicate a clogged engine filter.
• Musty smells, reduced airflow from vents, or increased dust inside the cabin point to a failing cabin air filter.
• If you notice these signs, bring your 2022 Lexus IS 500 to Park Place Lexus — we will inspect filters, recommend OEM replacements, and discuss available service specials.
