Mazda “Value” PE01-14-302 C&P

[Urshurak776]

Off Mazda 3 from last oil change. Dealer serviced when purchased vehicle at 4,158 miles. So, I changed it at 7K. Around 2,800 miles on filter. Oil was dealer swill.

This is the Mazda value filter, not Japan made. Says USA made. No ADBV.

Definitely Champ Lab ques seen, and slightly ruffled leaf spring. Guts and leaf spring look very similar to the Champ Labs made SuperTech MP in your other C&P thread.

This was last oil change. I was just delinquent in posting

Pennzoil Platinum went on with a Pentius PLXL6607. Just changed that today and put an OEM Mazda Japan filter on with Valvoline Advanced Synthetic 0W-20.

Agree. Champ e-core. Looks very similar. Doesn't look bad to me to be honest. Some people were refusing to use these. I see no issue with a 5K OCI. The fact that the dealership wants $9 each though....nope. I'll use a premium guard first.

I'd use a filter with an eCore center tube and metal end caps, or even fiber end caps as long as the construction was good.

Looks okay...minus, potential, leaky leaf spring. Good pics. thanks

Leaf spring seemed smooth and ok, or slight ripples? Hard for my eyes to tell in pic with oil on it.

Agree that it looks good overall.

Looks slightly rippled, but not as bad as some leaf springs seen lately.

I have a brand new Supertech 6607. Wonder if it's the same filter......?

Now I want to cut it open......

Like most here already noticed it is a Champ and probably most identify by firstly the stamp font on the top of the can .. that is what I always notice first then the weird green brush of ink on the media. Nobody else does that afaik.

Champ Labs seems to also use the Fram date code format (which this filter has) on some of their filters.
