Fram Ultra Air Filter (sold exclusively at Walmart).

[Topo]

This was very helpful, as it is evidence that Fram has cheapened their Ultra air filters.
I will be looking for a replacement for Fram Air filters.

What is the general consensus opinion on Super Tech Air filters?

Also, I like Pentius oil filters. I saw their air filters for sale on Amazon. Has anyone tried a Pentius air filter and is it high quality?

Based on everything known at this point, which air filter is very well made, and has a high efficiency near 99% @ > 20 microns

I used Fram Ultra for one reason only, seams to seal the best for my Nissan Rogue Sport. I may want to rethink going 32,000 miles on it. It was pretty packed up and I knew my mileage took a noticeable hit. I hear the purolator one air filters are very good for efficiency.

Thats why i buy them for my Nissan Rogue Sport they seal the best for my air box. I also like Purolator One's but they cost 40% more. I went 32000 miles on this Ultra but may have pushed it to hard, mileage noticeable started to suffer.

It's seems most US filter manufacturers have been cheapening their filters over the last 5 years.
Profit at the expense of quality. I'm thinking OEM filters are a good choice for the next air filters I buy.

The last brand I'd be choosing is Fram, some aftermarket actually filter better than OEM. But OEM is a safe choice agreed

I'm thinking the same. Stay with OEM. In my case, I own 3 Honda Odysseys and 1 Toyota Corolla.
I have good relationships with the parts departments at both dealerships.
I developed a small friendship with the parts managers and sometimes ask for discounts if I buy in volume.

OEM air + oil filters can be a way to avoid the cheapening by the US manufactures like First Brands / Champ / Fram.

Often, the OEM air filter is the same thing in a different box.

Often it's not, the Mann aftermarket was the worst performing in that test, although it actually looks the same as the Mann OEM.
