Last Friday I changed the oil in the Mazda. Out with the Mobil Super Syn 0w20 (UOA coming soon) & Fram Ultra filter, in with the Mobil 1 EP 0w20 and Mobil EP filter. What can I say? This dissection is uneventful. The Fram Ultra held up beautifully, I've had it sitting for 8 days and when the shell was cracked with the filter cutter, a few ounces spilled out showing that the ADBV was still doing it's job very well. No tears, no funny business, just a well built filter. I did notice that the media is considerably shorter than the OE Mazda filter which can be seen here.
Filter was in service for 9,829 miles and a little over 6 months. Enjoy the pics.
