Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in your 2017 Lexus RX 450h is about protection and comfort. The engine air filter directly affects combustion: it filters intake air so the 3.5L V engine breathes cleanly, which preserves the vehicle's 308 horsepower potential and keeps emissions and fuel consumption within design specifications. The cabin air filter, by contrast, filters the air entering the passenger compartment, removing pollen, dust, and odors to maintain a healthy and comfortable interior for passengers. Both filters require scheduled attention to avoid decreased performance or compromised cabin air quality. At Stevinson Lexus of Frederick we inspect both during routine service, document the condition with transparency, and recommend OEM replacements only when necessary. Replacing both filters on schedule protects engine components and helps preserve long-term value. To prioritize both engine life and occupant comfort, schedule service online or contact our service team to learn about current service specials and available service financing.
