Oil filter Mobil or OEM Mazda
Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.
I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.
In my Turbo, I use what many consider the best oil for gdi engines, pennzoil ultra platinum 5w/30 with the oem mazda filter. Although some aftermarket filters have better filter media, none meet the 22 psi bypass valve specs on the turbo engine.
Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.
Since I change my oil every 3,500 miles, the OEM is the best choice.
After watching some tests videos on YouTube, looks like mobile 1 filters had the best filter capabilities. So I’ve been using that for years now.
Been driving STIs reliably for 20 years, and I never use oem.\n\nI use Mobil (M1-110, the longer one), or Wix.
The best oil filter is mobil 1 but there was a batch years back and could tell simply by shaking filter and would rattle.
Got a 2015 scion XB, I changed the oil every 3000 to 3500 miles and I use a mobil1 M1-103A oil filter, I always put it on as tight as i can with a bare hand, every 3000 miles the oil filter loosens up.
