Always liked AFE. Deeped pleating allows more air flow with out sacrificing as much filtering.
thats what i went with. im not convinced the aftermarket filters are all that much better than oem, but it is nice to only have to purchase a filter one time. had an aem in my last truck for around 9 years, cleaned it regularly, and never had any issures

Compressed air is not recommend because it can damage the paper and allow unfiltered air to enter....
NOT WITH MY DINKY LITTLE COMPRESSOR BUT THANKS FOR THE ADVICE

I bought a service package with my truck for up to 75k miles or so, I just let them change everything with Ford parts.
JUST MAKE SURE THEY ACTUALLY CHANGE IT AND THE SERVICE TECH ISNT KEEPING IT FOR HIS OWN VEHICLE SKETCHY BASTARDS

Yeah I will. I can't imagine the regular maintenance parts are pricey anyways
THEY ARE GOLD TO A SERVICE TECH THAT'S ONLY MAKING 8 BUCKS AN HOUR.... 20 BUCKS FOR A NEW AIR FILTER SO.....

For everyday "clean" highway use, I use AFE dry...for dirty off road I use OEM paper...

My wife also, if on an apple product go to preferences >accessibility>display and text size>larger text and select the size best for you. It will display the larger text on your screen without sending it. My wife loves it.
