Default Engine Air Filter

I want to replace my engine air filter, I wanted to know what is recommended or if this will be fine.

It's a bit more than $20 on sewell, but then the shipping is like over $10. seems not worth it

Yeah thats true, thats why I like to buy in bulk.

You should order the air filter, some oil filters, wiper blade inserts, etc to save on shipping

Buy one on Amazon. You will have your choice of brands and save money.

I just posted this question awhile back. everyone seems to say WIX so I bought engine and cabin filter off amazon for $32 shipped. Cant beat the price. Engine filter is dead on with the same amount of folds as the OEM. Cabin filter had about 5 less folds or so. Id definitely recommend them

price seems to have gone up a little... i need an engine and cabin air filter as well and just made the same purchase after reading your post and the price was $41 shipped for both items. still a good deal to me for both air filters shipped. or so it seems.
