The Toyota dealers want about $28 for the OEM filters.

Rock Auto Denso ftf under $10. Same as oem Toyota. In fact oem is made by Denso.

If the OEM filter is that white fiber-based one, stick to OEM. If not and if it's the conventional plastisol-sealed panel type, most of the aftermarket ones will also work.

I stick to OEM for most Honda/Toyota/Subaru if they are hard-cased in plastic or the metal-free fiber type.

They sometimes have had free shipping on air filters. Three layer construction. May be cheaper other places. https://www.densoproducts.com/product.aspx?zpid=40579

A dealer close sells an OE for under $16 online. They probably are the same as Denso and made by them..

I have the Denso FTF in our 4Runner right now. Fit was good, rubber seals looked good. It's an air filter, so I assume it's doing it's job

I won't worry about it for a couple more years.

AFE ProDry. 50K on the filter and cleaned it once.
