Frantz filter, will it fit on a Mazda 3?

[bob3780]

I have a new 2012 Mazda-3, and would like to install a Frantz by-pass oil filter on it. Has anyone done this and if so, where did you end up mounting the filter?
Thanks

I would not mount one until after the warranty expires.

+1 on that.

Ok, once the warranty is done, does any one have any ideas as to where to mount a Frantz by-pass oil filter on the Mazda 3?
Thanks,
Bob

FWD cars, never a lot of room. You are going to have to add a cold air intake on one side and squeeze it in, or defeat the factory cooling system overflow and replace/relocate that...and stick the franz in that area.
