Lexus OEM Air Filters

Your Lexus car or SUV came with two factory-installed air filters. They both serve to protect against airborne contaminants infiltrating important systems.

What Each Air Filter Does

The first air filter is for your engine. It's usually located near the air intake, where it can capture those pollutants before they find their way into your engine and collect. Without it, air flow would get restricted and your engine performance would suffer as a result.

The other air filter is your cabin air filter. It can be located behind your glove compartment, under the front cowling, or under the dashboard on the passenger side of your vehicle. It traps allergens and irritants before they can travel through your HVAC system and escape through the vents into the air you and your passengers breathe.

How to Spot Failing Air Filters

Eventually, though, your air filters will degrade from age and use. More likely, though, they'll get too clogged up to continue performing their best. Signs of this include:

• Misfiring engine
• Worsening fuel economy
• Weaker horsepower
• The "Check Engine" light comes on
• Strange noises coming the your engine
• Your passenger space smells musty
• You're unable to maintain a consistent cabin temperature
• There's a whistling sound coming out of the air vents
