I’ve put 125,000 miles on my 350Z and 120,000 miles on my G37S using nothing but $7–$10 Fram air filters—never had a single issue.

Pros: no issues, reliable
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 201000 km

Wix air, oil, and cabin air filters are my go to. I get them in bulk from rock auto. I usually fill with mid grade gas, buying premium is usually more than a dollar over regular per gallon and it does not make up for it in better mileage. The new gen 4 coyote is not e85, they have no yellow indicator and do not have the ability to account for it. The gen 3 coyotes, between 2018? Or 2020 to 2023 had some oil burning issues due to the cylinder walls and mismatched pistons. It happened when they changed factories from Germany to the US. The transmissions prior to the 2023 update have a high rate of failure. Post 2023 they fixed them. My recommendations for trucks is to go with a 2024 or later model of whatever sort you're looking for, they have the gen 4 coyote, the fixed 10r80, and a refreshed design for the bumpers, headlights, and all the computers.

Pros: good quality filters, reliable transmissions post-2023
Cons: oil burning issues gen 3, premium gas not worth it

Go with Wix if you care about air filtration. I haven't heard of any brand that beats Wix in that regard, for both intake or cabin filters.

Pros: superior air filtration

I swear these FRAM filters have a thicker gasket than others. The OEM filters I could pull out and get back in no problem, once I changed to FRAM, it felt nearly impossible to get flush. I got one side perfect and fought with the other one for too long, ended up giving up on it and left the small gap. The gasket is keeping it airtight, it just doesn't look good.

Pros: airtight gasket
Cons: thicker gasket, difficult to flush
