Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinctions between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2017 Lexus RC 300 matter for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 from particulates that can degrade combustion efficiency and reduce horsepower and fuel economy; replacing a clogged engine filter restores the intended air flow to the intake, helping the vehicle return to its rated 255 hp output and responsive throttle behavior. The cabin air filter, by contrast, is all about passenger health and interior comfort—removing pollen, dust, and exhaust particulates before air reaches the HVAC system. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick, CO, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance and recommend OEM replacements when necessary. We emphasize transparency and provide a clear quote up front that highlights immediate savings—by avoiding poor fuel economy and potential engine wear—and long-term value in preventing costly repairs.
