Oil filter Fram or OEM Mazda
An oil change with decent full synthetic is 30-40$ for 5 quarts + OEM filter for another 5-10$. It's relatively cheap to do every 6-8 months to know it always has decent oil, and no problems should arise.
The orange can of death is only for 3,000 miles!!! Do the ultra synthetic, 20k mile filter. Haven't had a problem with them. I but in bulk as much as possible.
I'd go with the OEM Mazda Oil Filters but any high quality synthetic 0w20 will work fine.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Fram Ultra Synthetic (XG10060). OEM Mopar air filters for cabin and engine. I also add 15oz bottle BioTech Lubegard in oil. Just did mine, love the results. 2021 Rebel, 60k miles, 5.7L non-e torque if it matters.
Fram ultra's are fine, but their cheap filters are just that, cheap.
Fram are by far the worst brand I've seen. Fram filters have cardboard caps on the element that can come apart. Some of them don't even crimp the ends of the element to prevent unfiltered oil from going through the gap.
when I took off the FRAM filter there was no oil that came out. After inspecting the filter it seems like it was not filtering out the oil at all. There seemed to be cleaner oil in it instead.
Just stay far far away from FRAM oil filters. I've had nothing but bad luck from those things.
Anything but Fram will be fine.
Fram are garbage
I put a Fram in my volvo once... I immediately got valve train noise, it sounded like a diesel. I put a mobil1 back in it and boom it went away. Something about the valve in there volvos really don't like.
