Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and cabin air filter on your 2016 Lexus GS F is crucial to maintaining both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the powertrain by filtering intake air before combustion; a clogged engine filter can reduce power, lower fuel economy and stress engine components. The cabin air filter protects passengers from allergens, particulates and odors entering through the HVAC system; a dirty cabin filter reduces airflow and increases strain on the blower motor. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine we emphasize comprehensive care: our technicians inspect both filters during service visits, recommend OEM replacements when necessary, and explain the benefits of timely service for long-term vehicle health. Maintaining both filters improves driving enjoyment and preserves the value of your GS F. Ready to protect performance and comfort?
