2016 Lexus GS 450h Air Filter in Hingham, MA

The 2016 Lexus GS 450h engine air filter sits in a top-mounted air box inside the engine bay on the driver side.

The 2016 Lexus GS 450h cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.

Access generally involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach the filter tray. In Hingham, we replace it with an OEM-spec element to help reduce dust and pollen for you and your passengers. This location also allows us to check the blower intake for debris.
