Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Lexus CT 200h?
The engine air filter protects the 1.8L engines intake air, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC for passengers.
In the 2016 Lexus CT 200h, the engine filter supports combustion quality and hybrid efficiency by trapping dust before it reaches the intake. The cabin filter targets pollen and fine particles to improve in-cabin comfort. Both are essential: one for performance and fuel economy, the other for air quality and HVAC longevity in Grapevines changing seasons.
