Well it was time for the first oil change on my new Mazda 3 and I wanted to do it myself just to poke around.
I look up the filter in the book at Walmart and select the premium Fram (I know...but it was what they had and the premium Fram isn't knocked too bad). That was a Extra Guard 3614.
I fill the filter full of oil, craw under the car and try to install it....thing won't go on!
Go back to another Walmart and looked up the part but this time I got a Bosch 3330. Went home, filled it with oil, crawled under the car, and the thing would not fit!
Searching on line it looks like there is a misprint and the thing really needs a 20mm x 1.5mm.
I think the Fram part for this is PH6607 but I would really like someone who has done it to verify that. I am out $20 worth of oil filters already since I filled the things and I have no vehicle they can be used in. Grrrrr! LOL
