The Mazda filter has a higher capacity and larger design compared to the OEM Subaru filter. So, it will hang down slightly lower than OEM. The anti-drain back pressure seems to be similar, but I have never verified myself. I ran this filter on my 2005 Impreza WRX STi for a few years.

Pros: higher capacity, larger design

Cons: hangs down slightly lower

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza WRX

I’d high recommend doing an oil change with 10w30, putting on a factory oil filter (they’re about $10 at the dealer and come with a crush washer), and seeing how it behaves then. I recommend factory filters because for some very odd reason, I had less (or no) lifter tick when I used factory filters vs. aftermarket.

Pros: less lifter tick

Cons: aftermarket filter lifter tick

Vehicle: Mazda

I used 30W Ford Super Premium Motor Oil and a Ford FL-1A filter, and I changed the oil and filter, and greased every component myself, including the U-joints every 3,000 miles where necessary. I asked my Uncle who manufactured this oil, and he didn\u2019t know, UNTIL one day, he received a case of oil Labeled as Exon Uniflo, one of the highest rated brands at the time. It was obvious, at least to me, that Ford Super Premium engine oil and Exon Uniflo were one and the same. I sold the car 5 years later with almost 98,000 miles on it, and absolutely no engine problems.

Pros: no engine problems

Vehicle: Ford Galaxy

Mileage: 98000 km

Part number: FL-1A

Mazda oil filters are good but there are aftermarket filters equal and some are better than Mazda filters. Call the independent shop and ask what oil and filter they use then research it.

In my Hybrid, I use the OLM for recommended changes, except for the initial break-in oil/filter change. I did that one at 4k, which was about 2k of gasoline engine miles. OEM filter was tiny and I wanted to get it replaced.

Pros: OEM filter replaced

Cons: OEM filter tiny

Vehicle: Ford

Mileage: 4000 km

Ford Oil filter is less than 50 AED. No clue what's the difference between the one branded as FORD vs MOTORCRAFT, but hey - you can even get a sport oil filter from K&N for around 60 AED... damn marketing.

Pros: cheap oil filter

Cons: marketing concerns

Vehicle: Toyota 4runner
