2016 Lexus RX 450h Air Filter in Hingham, MA

The 2016 Lexus RX 450h engine air filter sits in a sealed air box inside the engine bay, typically on the passenger side.

This location allows the hybrid’s 3.5L V6 to draw filtered air before it reaches the intake and MAF sensor. The cabin air filter, by contrast, is usually positioned behind the glove box for HVAC airflow. If you prefer expert help in Hingham, MA, Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham can confirm placement and replace both filters using Genuine Lexus parts.

In a 2016 Lexus RX 450h, the engine filter screens dust and debris before air reaches the intake tract, helping preserve performance and efficiency.
