Where is the air filter located and How to remove and replace it on Lexus RX350?

The air filter is located inside a housing at the left (driver's) side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the clamps retaining the two halves of the air filter housing. Lift the cover up and remove the air filter element. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Always wear eye protection when using compressed air! Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed. Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Installation is the reverse of removal. The hinge tabs on the housing cover must engage properly with the lower part of the housing.

Lexus RX350 Air Filter

The Lexus RX350 Air Filter is responsible for protecting the engine by filtering incoming air so only clean oxygen gets to the combustion chambers. Working like a steady respirator, the Air Filter utilizes pleated paper media to trap dust, sand, pollen, and debris pulled through the intake duct. Because an engine can inhale about 10,000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel, accumulation causes the element to become clogged over time, resulting in a decrease in power and mileage if the Air Filter is not changed on time. Every Lexus owner since the first RX350 generation relies on a flat panel Air Filter unit inside a snap-sealed air box, a form chosen for fuel-injected layouts for older carbureted cars, the style was round canister. The shape of the panels increases surface area, ensures smooth airflow to the throttle body, and pops out quickly when the clips have been loosened, allowing a fresh Air Filter to firmly seat without any gaps. Across successive updates of the Lexus, the drivers of the RX350 just have to install a new dry paper element, which helps the performance of Lexus remain crisp and the performance of the RX350 stay strong when accelerating while saving fuel.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus RX350 Air Filter available on LexusPartsNow.com. Our OEM Lexus RX350 Air Filter come with the reassurance of the manufacturer's warranty, a hassle-free return policy, and speedy delivery service, all at affordable prices online.

Q: Where is the air filter located and How to remove and replace it on Lexus RX350?
A:
The air filter is located inside a housing at the left (driver's) side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the clamps retaining the two halves of the air filter housing. Lift the cover up and remove the air filter element. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Always wear eye protection when using compressed air! Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed. Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Installation is the reverse of removal. The hinge tabs on the housing cover must engage properly with the lower part of the housing.
