[fantastic]

I know many know this already but fresh reminder that this filter is the M+H standard line that I talk about when discussing Microgard filters (It's not a PG). Good pics.

Yup! It’s a basic Purolator

Thank you for the can cuts. Not too bad for a MH filter.

I agree

Louvers look good on this one. Not too bad.

Thanks Adam!

Thats why I change filters every other oil change. Oil at 5000 miles, filters at 10,000.

You better be using an extended rated filter.

For 7600 miles, I'd say it looks pretty good. Like it got the job done.

Thanks for c&p

Those are some nice louvers.

I buy mid range filters like NAPA Gold or Fram TG.

I also drive 80%+ highway. Never had any issue in the last 20 years.

Thanks. Looks fine

Older thread, but my search brought me here. Are the standard Microgard (non-Select) filters made by Purolator now? I am trying to avoid any made by M+H.

I can’t answer that

Only used MICROGARD selects

Safe bet is to stick with the Selects, the plain Microgards seem to have several iterations from multiple manufacturers.

I would, except that the engine my wife's car specifically calls for a filter without the ADBV and it's got about 9 more years left on the factory warranty. Today I found the OE Mazda filters on Amazon for just over $11, made in Japan by Toyo Roki. I was just hoping for a cheaper alternative if those are not available.

Those Tokyo Roki Japan are nice! The Microgard Select is a great alternative as well we the Carquest Premium.

I am 85% sure that if you go to the parts counter at your local Mazda dealer (if you have one), it'll be close or even below that number.

and/or lots of IRL Mazda dealers have their own websites (IIRC and/below $11), check out mazdaswag dot com a real Mazda dealer.

Mazdaswag - no, never again.
