Replacing the Engine Air Filter

Model: Lexus IS MK 1 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Air filter

The engine air filter housing (air box) is located at the front left of the engine compartment when viewed from the front: therefore, detach the side clips that secure the cover to lift it and extract the old filter; vacuum any dirt residue inside the box (do not use compressed air to avoid blowing dirt into the intake duct); then insert the new filter, ensuring the edges fit perfectly, and close the cover by reattaching the tabs. Note that it is always possible to install a cotton fibre sports filter.
