Open the hood and look for a rectangular or square airbox assembly, secured with clips or screws, along the intake tract. Replacing this filter helps the 3.5-liter V6 maintain airflow for proper combustion. If you prefer a professional inspection, Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham in Hingham, MA can confirm fitment and seal integrity during service.
