Purolator make a good after market air filter. Stay away from cleanable air filters. The oil on them migrates to the MAF sensor and ruins the MAF.

The one that fits and is changed at the correct interval , which is dependant on your environment as well as mileage.
Good point by thebax2006 , the reusable oiled ones are touted as performance filters ( less restricted) and as economical as they are reusable ( Ive probably bought 10 air filters ever over 30 years, £100? , you’re not saving much), but they can upset the MAF sensor.

I live in the country and drive on a highway where there is virtually no other traffic. Consequently my air filter and cabin air filter last an inordinately long time. 
.
And since all they have to filter is basically bug bits and pollen, I buy the cheaper air filters.

But if I was living back in the city it would be FRAM FILTERS exclusively.
