2011 Lexus HS 250h Air Filter in Grapevine, TX

The engine air filter sits in a rectangular air box inside the engine bay of the 2011 Lexus HS 250h.

Open the hood and look for a black plastic air box secured with clips or screws; that housing contains the filter for the 2.4L inline-4 hybrid engine. The cabin (HVAC) filter is separate and typically located behind the glove box. Our Grapevine service team can check both filters during the same visit.
