air filters you'll hear different things. i've got a K+N. never had a problem. there are a couple of different washable ones out there. oil i just use OEM with a hard disk magnet on the side.

HDD magnets are just wicked strong magnets, if you've ever pinched any part of yourself between them you'll know what i mean. chucking one on the oil filter will hold any particles of ferrous metal that might otherwise recirculate.
same basic principle as the magnetic sump plugs some mobs sell, just a home version.

hard disk magnets are rare earth, but behold the power of strong magnets!
