Need/want to change the air filter on my 2005 Trac. The dealer wants $21.95 and Advance Auto Parts wants $9.95. Which one would you buy?
 
most people on this site hate fram, but I've never had a problem with them, go with the $10 one and you can change it 2x for the same $$.
 
Fram air filters are good. So are most other brands. Dont buy fram oil filters. Go with any aftermarket air filter. Just as good as the dealers.
 
I just discovered that the air filter just needs to be cleaned and reoiled. Should I do that or install the dry filter I purchased? The filter in it looks clean now. It did have a bug on it and that was all the debris.
 
If you have an OEM filter it should not have been oiled. If its an after market gauze type filter a good washing, air dry ( compressed air can/will cause damage) , oil sparingly and reinstall. Fram air filters are fine.
