I Prefer PureOne filters, but the local parts store NEVER seems to have them in stock, so I end up with the NAPA gold filters a lot. Both are of excellent quality, but the NAPA filter is rather narrow.

How much do you pay for those?



Last I saw they were 4 or 5 times the cost of an OEM filter.. But then again this is Canada so I'm sure there's some contrast to price..

I have black Mazda OEM filters. Any difference between them and the blue ones besides the color?

I use the black Mazda ones. I've always used Pure One up until a couple years ago. They are great filters too.

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..
the blue OEM mazda filters in Canada are different from the black ones from the states.

I usually pay around 10 bucks for the K&N oil filter.
