Oil filter K&N or OEM Mazda

OEM Mazda Oil filter

I personally do an old and filter every 6-7000 km. I do it so frequently because, 1) I do it myself, so cost is down and I make sure the job is done right. 2) the sky active engines are known for carbon buildup, so more frequent oil changes should help. 3) Longevity, I want to see 300,000 or more on the dash one day.

Pros: cost is down, job right
Cons: carbon buildup
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 7000 km

People like me on the other hand are going for synthetic oil and Mazda OEM filters but still need to get an oil change at 5000 miles.

Pros: synthetic oil, OEM filters
Mileage: 5000 km

OEM Mazda Oil filter

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.

Pros: cheap, decent oil
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 6000 km

K&N Oil filter

I’ve been using Mobil 1 in everything I have ever had since I first got my drivers license; never had a problem with it yet.

I also religiously use K&N oil filters because they work well, and I like the “wrench off” feature they have.

Pros: works well, wrench off feature

K&N Oil filter

When doing oil changes buy a K&n oil filter.

Sometimes I can make 2500 and have actually reached 3k miles without adding oil.

Cheap ones are crazy and every time I use the oil filter I get at Walmart oil changes I’m adding oil at 1500 miles.

Pros: extend mileage without adding oil
Cons: cheap ones are crazy

Those KN filters are so tiny and I have had one break in my NA Ford Falcon so I don't use them any more.

Cons: filters are so tiny, one break
Vehicle: Ford
