Where is the engine air filter located on a 2016 Lexus LX 570?
The 2016 Lexus LX 570 engine air filter sits in the airbox within the engine bay, upstream of the intake tube and mass airflow sensor.
You can access the airbox by opening the hood and locating the intake housing on the passenger side of the bay. Keeping this filter clean helps the 5.7L V8 maintain smooth airflow and combustion. If you prefer professional service, Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham can inspect the housing and seals and replace the filter using Lexus procedures.

What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2016 Lexus LX 570?
The engine air filter cleans air for the V8’s combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.
On the LX 570, the engine filter protects performance and fuel metering; the cabin filter helps reduce dust and odors in the interior. The cabin element is typically behind the glove box, while the engine filter is under-hood in the airbox. Both matter for comfort and drivability in Massachusetts’ changing seasons.
- Engine filter: protects the 5.7L V8 intake
- Cabin filter: protects you and the HVAC system
- Different locations and service steps
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2016 Lexus LX 570?
Common signs include reduced engine power or MPG for the engine filter, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.
On an LX 570, a restricted engine filter can cause sluggish acceleration and uneven idle, especially noticeable on highway merges around Hingham and Quincy. A dirty cabin filter can make defrosting slower and increase fan noise. If you notice any of these, schedule a quick inspection.
- Engine: loss of power, rough idle, poorer fuel economy
- Cabin: weak airflow, odor, increased fan noise
- Visual debris or darkened filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2016 Lexus LX 570 myself, or should the dealer do it?
The engine filter is typically DIY-friendly; the cabin filter often requires glove box access and trim handling best done carefully or by a Lexus technician.
Many owners can unclip the engine airbox and swap the element. The cabin filter involves removing the glove box panel, which can be delicate. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham, technicians also inspect the intake housing and mass airflow sensor area for debris or damage.
