Labor day pretty much all service and parts department of dealers are closed. I am in the hurry to replace. So I just got Wix OEM replacement filter which part number is 49041.
I heard something bad about KN which allows more stuffs sucked into engine. the only concern of using aftermarket like WIX is the restriction same as OEM?
I did the quick comparison between OEM and WIX, I saw OEM is heavier and feels more quality, also OEM is more like cloth
I see good review on the internet about WIX, but seriously the initial quality is not as good as OEM I felt.

a vote of confidence from him is good enough for me too

Just put a Wix in mine last weekend. Could I tell a difference? No, but I'm glad to hear it's a quality air filter. FYI, pay attention during installation--there are three standoffs on the bottom of the filter so it needs to be installed in a particular orientation. Easy to put in backwards. OEM filter is the same.

A bad engine air filter will allow more contaminants into the engine, which is not measurable until your engine goes bad order or has a malfunction.
That is why I stick with OEM air and engine filters. Not much of a price difference.
