Couple places had the Mahle for $27 but seem to be backordered.

OE is $60 WTF. Guess I'll see what I can get at the local FLAPS.

That is high, 0.2¢ per mile for the correct air filter.

Found this on eBay.
I just thought the same looking for filters the other day.
No idea what quality they are but for $22 a set they can be changed out 6 times more often...

I just ordered two WIX filters from rockauto for $12.50 each.
WIX is part of the MANN group, so let’s see what they look like.
I have a OEM filter on the shelf to compare.

Hopefully it works out. I ordered a Wix from Amazon that was supposed to fit and it was wrong.

Still hoping that the Mahle's come back so I can stock up.
