Not all that $12 difference is dealer profit.

Aftermarket filters are generally made of inferior materials and have less
surface area.

How much would it cost to replace your engine? Use dealer filters.

I have a 2002 TL S-Type. Time for a new air filter, so does it matter if I get it at the dealer or not? It's only a $12 difference so I guess over time it doesn't matter, but what is everyone's experience here? I'm not really looking for any upgrade or performance thing unless you can prove to me changing an air filter makes your car fly. Thanks.
