Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Although both filters are called “air filters,” they serve different roles. The engine air filter protects the 2010 Lexus IS F’s intake system and combustion process—ensuring the 5.0L V8 breathes clean air for optimal power and economy—while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger compartment, improving comfort and health for occupants. Neglecting either can lead to reduced performance, higher fuel consumption, unpleasant odors, and increased strain on components like the HVAC blower or fuel system. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, we inspect both filters during routine service, use OEM parts to maintain original performance, and provide honest recommendations focused on long-term value.
