On the 2021 Lexus IS 300, the engine filter supports combustion and performance by trapping dust before it reaches the turbo and MAF sensor.

In a 2021 Lexus IS 300, a restricted engine filter can cause sluggish acceleration, rough idle, or increased fuel consumption.

If you notice any of these symptoms around Hingham, it’s wise to book a check and replace if needed.
