Air Filters

The engine air filter in your Lexus allows for air to be filtered before being sent through the system towards the engine to be used in the fuel and air mixture necessary for ignition. The cabin filter cleans the air that is meant to be used by the interior ventilation system, ensuring only clean air is used for you and your passengers to breathe. OEM air filters are an inexpensive component and should be replaced in set intervals specified for your Mercedes model. Should it be neglected, a deteriorating air filter will reduce the airflow as it ages. It can also begin to allow dirt through, causing the engine to make unusual sounds, the check engine light to appear on the dashboard, or even the smell of fuel in some cases. Replacing an air filter can be done with regular oil service, and you can either do it yourself or have a mechanic do it for you. Depending on the positioning, it can require basic tools such as a screwdriver, or no tools at all if the housing cap is attached via clamps.
