Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps owners of the 2026 Lexus RX 350h make informed maintenance choices. The engine air filter protects the hybrid’s 2.5L inline engine by ensuring clean airflow into the intake—preserving horsepower, throttle response, and fuel economy. The cabin air filter, by contrast, protects passengers by filtering contaminants from outside air before it enters the HVAC system. Both filters are inexpensive preventive items that protect larger systems and reduce the risk of costly repairs later. At Herb Chambers Lexus of Hingham, we inspect both filters during routine visits and recommend OEM replacements when needed. Choosing dealership service means correct parts, professional installation, warranty-safe repairs, and documentation that helps maintain your vehicle’s value.
