If you want a budget filter the motomaster ones aren't bad, or a WIX filter from autovalue.

I never even tried any other filter just because I know the fram number I need. The fram extra guard synthetic must be better constructed cause it feels a lot heavier than the cheapie one. That being said there is no way I'm gonna cut on open cause they are expensive, maybe when I change it out.
