viclykewhoa Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 How often should the GS300's engine air filter be replaced? I have a '99 GS300 and I called Lexus of Bayridge and was told every 5000 miles. That, however, seems a bit absurd. Let me know. Thanks. Also, could a dirty engine air filter cause low idle and the check engine light to come on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 A dirty air filter should be checked every 5000 miles and replaced as needed , which is when ever you hold it up to a light and see none come through. A clogged air filter can do many thing but a CEl is unlikely. You should check it your self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Air filters generally become pretty dusty and buggy after 10,000 - 15,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 In normal driving conditions, I go by 1 year or 12,000 miles.......if you don't have alot of dusty conditions that is......if you do, more frequently........details are given in your owners manual.....if you don't have one, contact Lexus directly as I think they will send you one free.

LexusServiceWriter Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Air filters are fairly inexpensive and should be replaced, as mentioned, every 10-15k miles...usually. If you live on a dirt road you might need it changed with every oil change (5000 miles). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) There is a gs owners manual stickied on top of the gs forums. It is for a 98 but no difference. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...showtopic=25931 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
