The 2017 Lexus RC 350 engine air filter sits inside the sealed airbox in the engine bay, ahead of the intake ducting to the 3.5L V6.

Pop the hood and you’ll see the rectangular airbox with retaining clips/fasteners; the filter element drops in under the lid. Keeping this filter clean helps the V6 maintain its 306 hp and smooth response. If you prefer, our Grapevine Lexus technicians can inspect and replace it during your next visit.
