2016 Lexus ES 300h Air Filter in Sharon, MA

It’s in the engine bay inside a rectangular airbox positioned ahead of the 2.5L inline-4.

The ES 300h uses a sealed airbox that draws outside air through the filter before it reaches the intake and MAF sensor. Access typically involves releasing metal clips and lifting the airbox lid. If you’d like it checked during your next visit to Sharon, MA, our team can inspect and replace it with a Lexus Genuine filter.

It’s behind the glove box inside the HVAC case.

The cabin microfilter sits in a slide-out tray that filters outside air before it enters the passenger compartment. Access typically requires lowering the glove box, releasing the side damper, and removing a small cover. If you prefer not to handle trim pieces, our Lexus-certified team in Sharon can replace it quickly.

• Access via glove box; handle the damper and tabs carefully

The engine air filter cleans intake air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers.

On the ES 300h, the engine filter helps the 2.5L inline-4 breathe cleanly for consistent performance, and the cabin filter reduces dust and pollen inside the car. Both are serviceable items and benefit from periodic inspection, especially with New England’s seasonal pollen and road grit.

• Engine filter protects the intake, throttle body, and MAF
• Cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC performance
• Lexus Genuine parts ensure proper fit and filtration

Look for 4 common signs: lower MPG, sluggish acceleration, rough idle, and weak HVAC airflow or musty odor.

In the ES 300h, a restricted engine filter can dull throttle response and efficiency, while a dirty cabin filter reduces blower output and can introduce odors. Spring pollen and winter road grit around Norfolk County can load filters faster. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an inspection in Sharon.
