Why change your air filter?
You should change the cabin air filter of your 2016 Lexus IS200T for a few reasons:
- Prolonging the life of the HVAC system: The cabin air filter also helps to keep the heating and air conditioning system running smoothly, which helps prolong the life of the system.
- Improved engine performance: A clean air filter allows for a greater amount of air to reach the engine, which can improve overall performance and fuel efficiency.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter improves the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
- Enhancing the air quality inside the car: The cabin air filter helps to remove pollutants, dust, and other allergens from the air inside the car, which improves the air quality for everyone on board.
By changing the air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Lexus IS200T engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is clean and healthy.

How often should I change my cabin air filter?
Generally, it is recommended to replace the cabin air filter once per year, or every 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. If you drive in a heavily polluted area, or in an area with high levels of dust, pollen, or other allergens, it may be necessary to change the filter more frequently. Similarly, if you often drive on dirt or gravel roads, or if you use your 2016 Lexus IS200T for off-roading, the filter may need to be changed more often.
It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, such as:
- Increased dust and debris in your car
- Odd smells coming from the vents
- Reduced airflow from the vents
