Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2017 Lexus IS 300 relies on two distinct filters to protect performance and comfort: the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. The engine air filter guards the 3.5L V6 intake from particulate contamination, helping sustain the vehicle’s 255-horsepower output and efficient combustion. The cabin air filter protects passengers by removing dust, pollen, and odors from the HVAC system. Both filters affect drivability and long-term vehicle health — a clogged engine filter can reduce fuel economy and power, while a dirty cabin filter diminishes airflow and air quality. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick in Frederick, CO, our service team inspects both filters during routine maintenance and provides clear recommendations based on OEM standards. We use genuine Lexus-quality parts and factory procedures to ensure proper fit and function. Maintaining both filters with regular service prevents avoidable repairs, supports warranty validity, and preserves comfort and performance for every drive.
