That 1 would be easy to show if it's leaking oil out of the spin on area esp. since it didn't happen prior to modification.
Spin-on conversion for the Mazdas

If it is going to leak, it will immediately after you do the conversion.
That is why as that link indicates you keep an eye on it. after you fill the sump and run it "around the block" an check it
If you managed to do the cartridge OC w/o leaking, no reason you wouldn't take the same care in this instance either.
Hey I just googled the part # and for 30 bucks you can stop the insanity.....includes the first spin-on.

But did you read the description?
Yes that is a disclaimer. I'm sure they have to put that in there for liability purposes.
Must be a market if they package it in a kit. Somebody's buying them.
Did I mention the Mag-Moss act? I think I did.
Well, that's it for me guys. Happy blogging to all.
If you change over to a spin-on ...or if you use the subway...or eat week old leftovers... or whatever,
you do so at your own risk.
There that's my disclaimer. Good night all.

I have a Fusion with the Mazda 2.3 and filter changes (Wix) are no harder then a traditional spin-on. I also like being able to inspect the filter media. To remove the filter housing I use the Mazda cap wrench - fits like a glove.
This is where u get your lunch handed to u is this spin.
Hey, I'm back for more abuse.
Another pro to add, the conversion opens up the possibility to use over-size filters.
That means you could get add more filtering media and sump capacity for these hi-reving 2.3 engines.

There's no two ways about it. If you install the thing and it fails ..you're eating the bill if it results in issues. This would be the same for anything. The false assumption is that if the engine fails ..and you installed the spin-on conversion ..that it, in itself, constitutes a reason for denial of warranty. There's nothing, inherently, that establishes that the cause of the failure is a result of the alteration. Even if you don't change your oil and the engine fails, there's nothing legally "assumed" that it was the cause. Suppose they had a run of bad bearings that spun in service? Suppose they didn't let this get around as common knowledge and, instead, wanted to see if they could get away with blaming customers/consumers.
Many try to do this. It doesn't mean that you need to let them.
It's really sorta laughable. If you and I had a deal ..and then ..when something went wrong, I just say "Oh, well since it went wrong I SAY you need to empty your wallet in my hands." JUST because I said so, I think you would see it a little differently.
It's the old fall back position that most bosses take when something goes wrong, "Did you do anything different?" "..well, I did blow my nose within 2 miles of the event this time. It was a first for me."
"THAT'S IT!!! You blew up the machine!!"

Yeah, & some mannies are betting they have the resources to outlast you in a legal fight.
That's what I always fear going into a warranty battle.

what a pita. I wondered (at first) why this would be an issue. My BMW uses a cartridge filter on top of the engine. Very easy to change. All metal top and case.
