Where is the air filter in a 2026 Lexus LX?

• The engine air filter sits in the intake housing near the front of the engine bay; cabin filters are behind the glove box or under the dash depending on configuration.
• Our technicians at Park Place Lexus will locate both filters during an inspection and show you OEM parts and replacement options so you understand what’s required.
• Any repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid — we ensure proper parts, fitment, and documentation.

How much does it cost to replace the air filter in a 2026 Lexus LX?

How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2026 Lexus LX?

• Replacement intervals depend on driving conditions: normal driving every 15,000–30,000 miles; dusty or severe conditions require more frequent checks.
• During any visit to Park Place Lexus we inspect the filter and recommend OEM replacements when needed to preserve performance and the hybrid powertrain’s efficiency.
• Regular dealer inspections help catch issues early and protect warranty coverage when repairs are required.

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

• The engine air filter protects the engine and turbochargers from debris; the cabin air filter improves interior air quality by trapping pollen, dust, and pollutants.
• Both matter: a clogged engine filter reduces power and economy; a clogged cabin filter reduces HVAC performance and interior air quality.
• Park Place Lexus uses OEM filters and documents service for warranty compliance; view our service specials or schedule service today.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, unusual turbocharger noises, or rough idling can indicate a clogged engine filter.
• Poor HVAC airflow, bad odors, or increased dust in the cabin indicate a failing cabin filter.
• Bring your 2026 Lexus LX to Park Place Lexus for a fast inspection; our certified techs will recommend the right OEM part and explain immediate and long-term benefits of replacement.
