Hey I Guys ...

I have 2004 Mazda 3 2.3L
It uses cartridge filter I would like to convert it .. to SpinOn

Why ? 2.0L filters are easily accessible ..
Less mess ... more filter to chose from ...

Here is the part ... I just wonder if its safe ?
Im worried about slowing down flow or pressure ...

Any Ideas recommendations ...

PS. another big thing is that those cartridge filter are prone to cracking you have to use torque wrench .. its really annoying ...
 
Thats the first mod I would have done to that car.

Its safe, no loss in oil pressure.

Now you can use an oversized oil filter for around $3
 
Yeah :) Im out of warranty ...
Do You guys know if need to get new bolts and Torque on those ?

I hope that I will not blow my engine this car needs to work for next 10 years lol :D

Bcardinal do you have pricing for those parts needed ?

reuse the old bolts, thats a really good price. it will void warranty if you have a filter related issue, especially if you do not have regular work done at a dealer.
