Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2017 Lexus GS 350 preserves performance, efficiency and comfort. The engine air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the intake and combustion chamber, protecting internal components and ensuring the 3.5L V6 delivers its rated 311 horsepower smoothly. The cabin air filter keeps pollen, dust and particulates from circulating in the passenger compartment, directly affecting ride comfort and HVAC efficiency. At Park Place Lexus Grapevine in Grapevine, TX, our certified Lexus technicians inspect both systems during routine service, using OEM parts to meet Lexus specifications. Replacing one filter but ignoring the other can lead to mixed results—engine performance may improve while cabin comfort suffers, or vice versa. Our transparent process includes a documented inspection, an itemized estimate and recommendations that prioritize long-term savings by preventing premature wear, improving fuel economy and reducing repeat visits. We also provide service financing so you can address all recommended work now and pay over time. To schedule a comprehensive inspection, schedule service or review current service specials.
