Default STP air filter

Anyone use the STP replacement air filter? It is about 1/4th the price of a Fram at Autozone.

Any imput?

A better question is, is anyone using a Fram filter? IMO, filters are not where you want to cheap out. The OEM AC-Delco filter scores at the top for particle removal and will flow as much air as your unmodified LS engine can use.

I didn't realize STP was still in business. I wouldn't buy any of their products. Stick to the OEM filter. Your engine will thank you.

I got 6 OEM delco air filters for 35 bucks from rock auto. How much cheaper can an STP filter be?

Don’t buy it like I did. It doesn’t fit in the housing, bigger than OEM and I had to take it back. Went to Napa Auto and bought one, fit perfectly.

I have heard good things about Rock Auto. They sell factory parts OEM for all different brands like Chevrolet, Toyota and Dodge?
