Why change your air filter?
It is important to change the cabin air filter of your 2008 Lexus GS460 for a few reasons:
- Improving the air quality outside the car: A clean air filter can also help improve the air quality outside the car by reducing the emissions of pollutants.
- Cleaner 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 the passengers.
- Extending 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.
- Protecting the engine: A dirty or clogged air filter decreases the airflow to the engine, which may lead to overheating and damages the engine over time.
- Better 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.
By changing the air filter on a regular basis, you can ensure that your Lexus GS460 engine and HVAC system are running efficiently, and that the air inside and outside the car is filtered of pollutants

It’s also important to pay attention to these indicators that the filter needs to be changed, such as:
