It had the Mazda filter and Castrol 0w20 This time: Napa filter NSF 27002 and Motomaster full synthetic 0w20 It’s a jobber filter but I found it works quite well on my summer runs and it’s the cheapest filter I could find that has decent quality

Not much to see, other than the great quality of these filters, ran it for the winter season 8000 KM OCI 8 months.

See if you can get ultras or buy OE online

OE if it’s cheap enough

Thanks I went with Kirkland 0w20 repackaged Castrol/Walmart oil and Tokyo Roki OEM filter. PE01-14-302

No tears, just bad glueing. I’d say it did pretty good for what I paid

I couldn't fit it in mine since it would block the access to the drain bolt

That's what I referred to earlier! Looks very good I may even end up skipping on the ultras since they've become so expensive

I'm going to be using the Wix/Napa filter you're talking about. I'll post that C/O as well sometime in the fall I didn't road trip due to covid but now I'll likely be clicking more mileage NAPA NSF 27002 or Wix 57002

Did you cut anymore of them?

Not sure what it is today but they used to be made poorly 3 years ago. Glued pieces and poorly constructed

6000km sitting, mainly highway miles in COVID19 times. Mazda 3 skyactiv Pleats were firm and could’ve easily done 12000km

That one isn’t really cheap though

I went with the parts lookup tools like Fram they recommend filters with that can be substituted with. In my case XG6607 or XG4967 which I’ve tried in my Mazda. im sure it can be used otherwise Fram would be in deep ****

I’ve not cut it open yet but I do not believe it matters since they are both facing down.

Interestingly enough, looks like Toyota moved to a smaller filter in this case 6607 size comparatively in Fram. Both Mazda and Toyota/Denso seem to have move production to Thailand. Couldn’t tell the difference between the two I thought it was using the larger 4967 size according to Fram parts...

These are not new though, seems to be the only magnetic drain plugs I have available. Others are just normal plugs and OEM

Got a link to that?

Thanks

I recently purchased some magnetic oil drain plug from amazon and turns out they were made of aluminum. Is it safe to use in the OEM pans? I was under the impression that they were interchangeable but I’m afraid it’s only for racing engines Any ideas? Thanks
