K&N Gold is my prefered choice, although if I can't find them I'll buy a Wix or Mobil1 (yes, run synthetic in all my cars).

The Wal-Mart SuperTech filters are made by Champion Labs.
Awesome filters for an awesome price.

Wherever you can find them :p

I stick with the Napas because they are most commonly available. (Napa auto parts)


Actually, if you notice that all the Napa filters (at least from my area) have a nice WIX trademark on them. Whether you buy Gold or regular, it's still a Wix and still pretty darn cheap.

I know Wix makes the OE filters for some cars... mine is. And the Mobil1s are just Wix filters with very expensive filter media. I think K&Ns are too.
