2011 Lexus GS 460 Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Both are essential: engine filter neglect can reduce performance and damage engine components over time, while a neglected cabin filter reduces HVAC output and allows allergens into the cabin. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we inspect both items during service visits, recommend OEM replacements when necessary, and explain the measurable benefits — improved acceleration, fuel savings, and cleaner cabin air. We also emphasize warranty integrity: repairs covered under warranty should be completed at a certified dealership. Ready to protect performance and comfort?
