• Service cadence: both should be checked regularly — the cabin filter often needs attention sooner in dusty or urban environments.
• OEM quality and warranty: Park Place Lexus Grapevine uses OEM filters and provides warranty-covered service when applicable; warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid.
