Good quality?

Personally, I've never used an oem filter because I don't have a Mitsubishi dealership around me. I stick with Wix or Napa filters (same thing). Whatever you do, stay away from the Fram filters though.

Stay away from the Cheaper Fram filters, agreed.

Their X2/Extreme Gaurd/XG is no doubt one of the best filters you can buy.
