Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2016 Lexus RC 300 is important for both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the 3.5L V6 by keeping abrasive particles out of the intake, which preserves horsepower, torque and overall engine longevity. The cabin air filter, by contrast, keeps dust, pollen and road odors from entering the passenger compartment. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our factory-trained technicians perform targeted inspections that identify which filter needs service, and why. Maintaining both filters prevents costly downstream repairs and sustains the refined driving experience expected from a Lexus coupe. When you bring your RC 300 to our service center, you get OEM parts, documented service records for resale value, and staff who explain how timely replacement improves immediate fuel economy and long-term engine health.
