I just got my, 2019 Ford Flex SE just under 50k miles, service done at the dealership and they wanted $109.95 for the cabin air filter (INCLUDES FRIGI-FRESH DEODORIZER / SANITIZER SERVICE)🤔😂 and $39.95 for the engine air filter. Obviously I declined them being replaced.
So, I wanted to ask which filters do you put in your wife's car, Scotty?
NAPA has good filters, but any reputable brand will do.
I don't think Scotty has a favorite brand. He just buys them at Autozone.

Good, that's beyond highway robbery and probably does nothing, lol. My fiancée's Mustang is a 2017 and the cabin air filter at AutoZone was $9.99. It doesn't take over an hour to change a filter.
I can't believe how expensive filter have gotten. They used to be a cheap item, but now the prices seems to have double, tripled, quadrupled in the last few years.
I usually pick OEM up when I drive by a (Toyota/Honda) dealer. If it is Toyota, look online on the Toyota parts website for pricing, and if it is lower, show it to the parts guys, and they might match it. The same logic could work for Ford filters.
I used to just buy them at AutoZone or O'Reilly or even the bigger WalMarts, but they always seem to be out of stock of the one I need.

In previous videos Scotty has mentioned to stick with OEM since the engineers knew what they were doing.

I stick with OEM as well, you can get them from Rockauto.
Sensors maybe. But OEM isn't ALWAYS the best. Especially when it comes to GM. I've seen several tests now that show ACDelco air and oil filters hugely underperforming compared to 3rd party filters.
