being cheap is how I was able to save money to afford the Ls 460 in the first place 
I am prob one of the most frugal people you’ll ever meet, hence why I try to DIY on the car maintenance.
anyway, if someone else has used the $8.5 engine filters and haven’t noticed a diff, I’m all for it

LMAO.....I think we'll survive just fine.
Anyway, I find it helpful to cross reference walmart, amazon, etc. with the manufacturer of the product, as sometimes there are minute differences in model #'s, SKU's, description, and so on.

Looks like both of the Fram filters show the same size specs.
Walmart shows them to be the same price. Hmmm.

Hey, I'm still here! lol
Really any high quality paper filter will work fine. I wouldn't go to K&N for the engine air filters. I did use their cabin filter for a while and liked it.

I currently use bosch for my cabin it’s blue hepa type filter, I’m thinking of putting something else infront of the cabin filter to prevent dust from getting into the glove compartment. I also use Bosch for the engine because it get them for a good price. They are paper filters and fram and Bosch etc will be similar quality wise, theres no such thing as a certain amount of km/miles for air filters, you should check them every so often, here where I live it’s super dusty so they don’t last as long I think 6 months I change them out.

One of the most trusted and knowledgeable guys (Roadfrog) on this forum suggested those way back. That's what he used.

Project Farm tested engine air filters and found the K&N less restrictive for air flow, but also less restrictive about passing particles. Greater performance at the cost of greater amounts of dirt entering one's engine doesn't seem prudent.
Project Farm found Wix and Purolator to be the best after-market filters. They have yet to test OEM filters, but I hope they do some day. If you want to check out the video, go to YouTube and search "Project Farm air filter test."

thanks. I ended up getting the $8.5 ones that were linked above as others on this forum have used without issue.
