ok there are 2 we are concerned with:



short: B6Y1-14-302A/B6Y2-14-302A b6y1 is the jdm part, b6y2 is the usdm part. the usa part is made by tennex.



tall: JEY0-14-302A/G6Y0-14-302/JEY0-14-302A-9U; this is the tall, the JEYO-14-302A is the jdm part, everything else is usdm



if you run across the jdm parts they are grey market imports, oddly the only way to get some oem mazda parts is to not buy from mazdausa

There are the made in canada ones B6Y1-14-302-CA

I like the K&N filters personally. They have a nut shaped on the top so that you can get them on and off with a 1" socket.

I finally found someone who stocked the right one! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

cool, never seen those before

Canadian Tire had those... They are like 17 bucks each. The blue mazda ones are 4 bucks each if you buy a case of 6. Or 3.75 each if you buy 24 and split them amoungst freinds.



To replace 17.99 filter + tax every month makes you want to cry. I also noticed the price of Castrol GTX going up as well. Even walmart raised their prices, higher than canadian tires. The beauty of canadian tire is you aren't dealing with reject shoppers. I went to buy GTX at walmart one day and someone had returned it with the seal open, so i looked at it and inside was used motor oil. Now that is just low.

why did they design it so the filter is upside down?

agree about the K&N, I've been using them for 2 years now. Besides the nut on top, it also has a hole for some safety wire

yeah I ONLY use the K&N filters...ease of install and removal, and they uh, look racey

i use 2 of the SBC V8 filters on a relocated kit on my car.... i also use the K&Ns.. It adds quite a bit if extra oil capacity.

That's a nice setup! Were did you get the relocation kit????

I'm with you on that, every time I change my oil filter it leaks oil out. I even try to let it sit for a while and put a rag around it and everything...



I use Mobil 1 oil filters...

the relocation kits can be ordered from most performance shops. (jegs,Summitracing,etc)

Yeah, but were did you find the part to hook the hoses to the stock filter mount???





I've never seen one.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

comes with the kit.... you may have to call them since it's not listed in their catalog. But it does come with the screw-on adapter and the new mount. The braided hoses are custom made, since the kit comes with rubber hoses for transfer.....
