Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2016 Lexus RC 200t is simple but important. The engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the turbocharged inline-4, protecting components and preserving the 241 horsepower you rely on. The cabin air filter protects the passenger compartment from pollen, dust, and road odors—helpful for comfort and HVAC efficiency. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service to ensure no single issue undermines performance or comfort. Maintaining both filters helps you avoid premature engine wear, improves fuel efficiency, and keeps the cabin environment healthy for occupants. We document every service, use OEM parts, and honor warranty requirements—any covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
