2017 Lexus LS 460 Air Filter in Hingham, MA

The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox within the engine bay, ahead of the 4.6L V8 intake.

On the 2017 Lexus LS 460, the panel-style engine air filter is housed in a black plastic airbox designed to feed clean air to the V-type intake. Access involves releasing the airbox cover clips or fasteners and lifting the lid to remove the filter. If you prefer a professional inspection and OEM-spec replacement, you can schedule service at Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham.
