OEM vs. Aftermarket Engine Air Filter

Oct 04, 2012 1 Replies

napa filters are made by wix - perfectly respectable replacements. fram, i wouldn't bother with.

bottom line, i'd do it myself and use the aftermarket. drip a little oil on the filter just before installation too. oem honda filters have that from factory. aftermarket, i've not seen it.

The air filters need replacement in my Accord and CR-V. All the dealers around town want $36 and change for one and $32+ for the other.



Aftermarket filters from Fram, Purolator, NAPA are significantly less.



Smart money to save-- or bite the dealer bullet?
