I've heard a lot of different things about motor oil and filters, and I am having a hard time deciding what brand to use.
Which brand of oil filter should I use?? Which brand and which viscosity of oil should I use?? Thanks for the help. Brad |
I run the K&N's in all my vehicle's. The Napa line is actually a very good filter and they are priced quite well. Stay away from the Fram line and the Penzoil oil filters, they are pretty junk.

the OEM filters arent that expensive
any name brand oil will do, depending on weather conditions either 10-40 or 20-50 |

i had the pleasure of cutting open a fram, and theres not much of anything in it compared to the mazda filter.
|
I always use the blue mazda OEM filters
It's wierd too because everyone comments me when they say "Hey you have a mazda filter. Cool." Ummm Yeah!!! I read a while ago the OEM filters were better than the run of the mill junk up here (fram, never heard penzoils were crappy too?).. So.. I dunno.. |
i used to have a cut open mazda filter, and they pack in a ton more filter than the fram
|
i blame my fram for my blown motor. they have voodoo curses on them. do NOT purchase a fram. other than that i use 20w-50 castrol nonsythetic and possibly this summer straight 50w castrol nosythetic.
|
I always use Castrol 20w50 with the Mazda OEM filter.. Always always always.. And I change oil every 3000 KMs.. Not sure how many miles?
I don't plan on changing my routine even though my MOP will be eliminated too. |
