Air filter

[Twisted]

What is the preferred air filter ,,,,,& whats all this MUMBO JUMBO about drop in air filters & what should I be expecting to pay for a decent filter ???? 05 TB EXT 4.2 stock air box

Regular paper filter element is fine. Any brand really, even Fram. Get whatever is on sale. I've used Fram, Purolator, Bosch (on sale).

For as crappy as a rep that Fram has with their oil filters, their air filters are considered pretty good. This is for underhood only; they're prolly midpack on cabin air.

I run a Fram on my Envoy, bought one for the Sierra, and have run them in my DD Hondas. Just the regular no-frills version.

As an aside, I was surprised to see the 6.0L pickup using a traditional flat panel filter, while my Voy uses a canister. Would think that would be the inverse, tbh.

I get mine from rockauto, but high quality vs low quality how much could it really matter for an air filter? I don't think that much.

I have a write-up of my experience using a Green brand filter and am still using it. Over the years I have saved a ton of money not buying paper filters

Agree, although I use a K&N filter

I use a Green filter on my Voy aswell as on the tbss.

Just a word of warning on the oil impregnated filters is to not over-oil them as they can contaminate the MAF.
