    Looking to buy the best for my SR5. Is FRAM still a good option?

    Edit:
    I think I found the OEM Engine air filter (not sure what large cab is, I just have the SR5 double cable 6' bed): https://parts.toyota.com/p/Toyota_2...LX-35L-AT/Air-Filter/66801543/178010P100.html

    Why 3 cabin filters?:

    OEM for the engine until I upgraded to an aFe system.
    I use a champion charcoal filter for the cabin.

    Mine came with the TRD filter, rebadged K&N, so I keep that and just clean and re-oil when needed. As for cabin filter I just order a fram one, but may change it to a K&N.

    How do the re-usable work? Are they really that much better, costs aside? Not sure how you can wash a nasty filter.

    K&N sells a solution you spray on the filter then rinse it clean. Once dry you lightly re-oil it with their provided oil.

    Long term they do save money on replacement costs. I avoid them since they do allow more dirt into the engine.

    I might be wrong but isn't there the potential for those filters to cause problems because some of that oil gets drawn into the intake and gets on the sensors? Maybe only if you use too much oil.

    Correct. Often people get overzealous with the oiling process causing issues down the line.

    Usually, whatever is available at the local parts store, I go for cheap filters, synthetic oil and change my oil often 3-4k mi.

    I think the reusable are for those interested in getting increased airflow but if you want to protect your engine from dirt that will degrade it you will want the OEM type.

    Never had to buy a engine air filter for my '19 yet. Only has 9674 on the truck. I replace the cabin filter every year after tree pollen season with this filter from Amazon.
    $13 EPAuto CP374 (CF10374) Cabin Air Filter includes Activated Carbon Replacement for Toyota Tacoma (2005-2021), Dodge Dart (2013-2016), Pontiac Vibe (2003-2008)
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY5YMJJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details


    Will be going with this Fram engine filter when needed.
    $18 FRAM Extra Guard CA10163 Replacement Engine Air Filter for Select 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma (2.7L), Provides Up to 12 Months or 12000 Miles Filter Protection
