The engine air filter in your 2002 Lexus ES300 cleans the air that enters your engine. You should change the filter on your ES300 at least once a year or every 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you drive in dusty or sandy conditions, you should change your filter more frequently.

The video above, shows you where the engine air filter is located in your ES300 and how to change it!
