Sticking with pp for nowThe Supertech product has no European approvals.
I don't know if it works on the turbo engine, but on the N/A 2.3 and 2.5 you can swap the oil filter adapter from an engine that uses a spin on and use the fram ph3600 or equivalent size filters as an oversize, possibly the 8A size but probably not.You have a part number..

I stand corrected. Most Mazdas I'm familiar with have spin on filters.You have a part number.. Its a cartridge filter, how it's oversize..?
Too much work to find the suitable adapter.. Benefits of an oversize filters are debatable, 'bigger doesn't always means better' *wink*wink*. A branded quality filter will do its job just fine.I don't know if it works on the turbo engine, but on the N/A 2.3 and 2.5 you can swap the oil filter adapter from an engine that uses a spin on and use the fram ph3600 or equivalent size filters as an oversize, possibly the 8A size but probably not.
You're correct in terms of NA engines.. Not boostedI stand corrected. Most Mazdas I'm familiar with have spin on filters.
mzr 2.3 disi turbo takes a cartridge filter.. The er mzr 2.3 turbo in cx 7 takes a spin on don't k know whyYou're correct in terms of NA engines.. Not boosted
For a while in the mid to late 2000s Mazda (and Ford by extension) apparently thought that cartridge filters were the future or something and switched their engines over to them to reneg on it later on somewhere around 2008 or 2009 if I recall right, even the N/A cars from around the time of your Mazdaspeed6 take the same cartridgemzr 2.3 disi turbo takes a cartridge filter..

Yeah I agree. The difference is that the Pennzoil products have actual approvals despite their "reverse obfuscation" in listing them. You can check that against the manufacturer approval lists. Castrol does the same thing on their listings as well. The only major that seems to consistently get it correct is ExxonMobil.Never said it has formal approvals, just that it meets the specs. Label carries a very similar laundry list of "meets the requirements" as PP Euro.
And since Warren does have some European approvals for their Mag1 brand (VW in particular comes to mind), not a stretch for them to be selling the same oil under a private brand here.
In any case, I think we all agree PP Euro is preferable given the choice.
