    Like anything aftermarket, you'll get tons of goods and bads.

    I have the TRD filter that came with the CAI intake, its oiled like a K&N and works great.. Just don't over oil it, which isn't hard to do.

    If you want dry, AFE is a good brand to look into.

    I went with the TRD filter. I'll try the AFE dry filter sometime in the future.

    Stock for now.
    Depends on what you're going to use your truck for.

    AFE is a good alall around dry filter.

    Using an oiled filter can foul the MAF if you over oil it. Plus let's more dirt through. Youll notice some dust after a long period of usage. Not good for off roading or places with dust.
