Which oil filter would you prefer between the two? I've heard positive things between the two.

Both are good.
K&N is identical to Mobil-1 and TRD.
Wix is a very good filter at half the cost.

Why not stick with OEM? You can get a case of 10 for $40 on ebay and it is a better filter.

I get a pretty good discount since I work at a auto parts so price isn't really a problem for me. But I've always heard that wix is the best filter out there.

Good, better than many, but not the best.
