As I'm sure you know OEM Air-Filter used by vehicle manufacturers are bought on mass and it wouldn't surprise me that manufacturers of air-filters can match any air-filter used in other makes. Cost is always the factor in what air-filter make is used, OEM are usually period change types and some after-market washable have 10 year or more lifespan. The right air-filter seems to be more important these days because of Mass Air Flow sensors used in most vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as I said I would not be surprised, a cost factor the same goes for many vehicle components throughout the whole of the vehicle assembly I believe.
