Where? Pleated paper air filter 2.7

I am almost positive I found the paper pleated air filters for the 2.7 at one of the big 3 auto parts stores. Any hints? Do I have to go to Toyota?

 

I know that WIX makes a Air Filter very close to the Toyota Filter.

 

They are all pleated....dont get it....even the cold air inducted ones that have to be oiled...

The best one is the one you replace often....however to make that happen...

Clean your maf at same time with some maf cleaner.....


I use to buy the napa gold's at $30 ea.....until I switched to CAI......

If you use CAI and dont know what your doing.....you could gum up maf with excess oil.....

 

How bout this?

 

A/F quality does not matter
Just as long as u monitor how dirty it gets
Then replace your $6 rockauto one if gets dirty
Of course the CAI ones are the best/last longest(as long as you clean/oil)/monitor cleanliness of AF properly

I.E.
You know the best oil on market?

WEIOS. Hands down. Every time.
(As long as you change your oil per manufacturer intervals)

now this doesn’t apply for every ‘wearable’ part
Water pumps/bearings/tires/shocks/etc
U get what u pay for

 

Napa used to add slick their synblend 5qts.....for 12.99...

I stocked up.....


Same on their napa platinum oil filters.....they have that 20off all the time...

brings em down to $11.........just as good as the K/N racing at $18....

 

I believe it was WIX and now WIX has switched to the fabric style as well. So I went to Toyota to pick up the filter and Toyota has also switched to fabric. Checking the Toyota filter out I noticed it was made in the USA. I bought it for 21.99$ plus tax.

 

Since I used so many Filters I bought them by the case .

I doubt I bought supplies like this since 2018 last I stocked up.

Things Change so often.

I lose track of time so easy.
