Oil filter AC DELCO or OEM Mazda

OEM Mazda Oil filter

Mazda recommends their oem filters on skyactive motors. Its because they dont have the flaps that keeps oil pressurized. Any wisdom says you dont need it but go ahead and buy them online as I paid $5 per.

Pros: recommended by Mazda, good price
Vehicle: Mazda

OEM Mazda Oil filter

In terms of filter and oil, I have an NA and I personally like to buy the OE filters from Mazda and for oil I just use the oil recommended in the owners manual, id assume the ND uses different oil so I’d say just check that.

Pros: recommended by manufacturer
Vehicle: Mazda

OEM Mazda Oil filter

YES! My 2012 Skyactiv is at 233K miles, and has always had the Mazda Moly 0W-20 (with the exception where I was able to get the Idemitsu version, which is the same stuff, but without Mazda's markup. Sucks that it isn't available anymore. ) and I'm not about to chance running a different oil.

Always run a Mazda filter too. The quality seems better than most.

Pros: high quality
Cons: expensive
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 233000 km

AC DELCO Oil filter

I got an ACdelco oil filter for a 07 classic GMC duramax and right before installing it I noticed the threads were stripped off and there were big chunks metal shavings clipped off inside it.

Pros: null
Cons: stripped threads, metal shavings
