I agree, but the filter issue is [partially] an old wives' tale. I am 100% against preaching ONLY the OEM filter, but there are a few bad ones. I had a dealer install a "TecSelect" T4612 on mine before I bought it. Absolutely the worst, noisiest filter I've used on any car, ever. Swapped with a WIX, now it's quiet as ever. As you said, no drama with the WIX.
