Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Lexus IS 200t?
The 2016 Lexus IS 200t engine air filter sits inside a sealed airbox on the left (driver) side of the engine bay.
This location feeds clean air to the turbocharged inline-4, helping maintain smooth acceleration and proper fuel trim. Open the hood, locate the rectangular airbox near the fender, and release the clips to access the filter. If you prefer a no-hassle visit in Grapevine, our team can inspect and replace it while also checking the intake path.

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2016 Lexus IS 200t?
The 2016 Lexus IS 200t cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake.
Remove or lower the glove box to reveal the filter door, then slide out the old filter. This filter cleans incoming air for the passenger compartment—important during North Texas pollen seasons and dusty roadwork. If clips or trim are unfamiliar, our technicians can replace it and reset airflow direction markers in minutes.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Lexus IS 200t?
The engine air filter protects the turbocharged intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the air you breathe through the HVAC system.
On the 2016 Lexus IS 200t, the engine filter supports performance and fuel economy; the cabin filter reduces dust, pollen, and odors in the cabin. Both serve different systems and require separate inspections. We can service each during the same appointment for a complete refresh.
