• Dealer value and savings: Park Place Lexus Grapevine often provides lower-cost, factory-backed filter inspections and replacements compared with independent shops, delivering immediate savings and long-term value through OEM parts and certified technicians.

How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2023 Lexus RZ 450e?

• EV considerations: the RZ 450e does not have a conventional engine air filter; instead, follow the dealer-recommended inspection intervals for HVAC and thermal-management filters, typically checked at routine service intervals.
• Local driving factors: Grapevine, TX conditions—dust, pollen, or frequent highway driving—can shorten filter life; our technicians tailor recommendations based on your driving patterns.
• Schedule with ease: schedule service to have filters inspected and documented during your next visit.

What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• Function: engine air filters (for combustion engines) protect the engine intake; cabin air filters protect occupants and HVAC components by filtering outside air—on the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e, cabin filtration is the primary focus.
• Health and comfort: cabin filters reduce allergens and dust for a healthier cabin and more efficient climate control.
• Dealer advantages: Park Place Lexus Grapevine uses OEM cabin filters and documents service history, helping preserve vehicle value and warranty eligibility.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced HVAC airflow, unusual odors, or increased dust in the cabin are common signs; our technicians perform fast diagnostics to confirm and resolve issues.
• Ignoring problems can increase HVAC workload and reduce comfort—immediate replacement via our dealership creates long-term savings and avoids secondary damage.
• To inspect or replace, schedule service and ask about current service specials.
