Yeah man check out the Fram Ultra cut and post pics on here... Always stout and look very good. I agree with SumpChump that a Toyota filter may well be up to 15k miles as well in a known clean motor. If you can get the Toyota filters for a good price that may well be an option too. The Fram Ultra for $9 plus tax at Wally world is hard to beat.
Fram really has stepped up and hit the proverbial homerun with their Ultra filters.

OEM filters cost $5.41 at the dealership and they're hard to beat. The K&N from Wal-Mart appears identical to the OEM except the color (pink). OEM is made in Thailand, K&N is made in Korea. Both will serve the OP for his intended purpose.
I buy the K&N simply for convenience. The drain device that comes with the filter is identical to OEM and works as intended.

Where have you seen published efficiency ratings for the OEM? I've never seen them anywhere except that old Amsoil chart that gets trotted out every so often. Have you seen actual manufacturer ratings?
