[V6-12v] Air filter recommendation

[Elliott Potter]

I've been surprised lately that the prices of standard maintenance items
(oil filters, air filters, etc) at the dealer have been very
competitive.  I've stopped going to the local non-dealer shop for
Mann/Mahle filters and such and started going to the dealer ... it
doesn't cost any more and I'm sure of what I'm getting.
