if your car is stock, you don't have to worry too much about the oil and filter. i think last time i went with a mobile 1 filter and their extended performance oil but I have used other brands too. any OEM filter will be fine.
In terms of filter and oil, I have an NA and I personally like to buy the OE filters from Mazda and for oil I just use the oil recommended in the owners manual, id assume the ND uses different oil so I’d say just check that.
Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!
I prefer mobil 1 or wix filters, mobil 1 or castrol oil usually
I do every 3-5k miles, with Mann oil filter, both o rings, drain plug and washer, 7 quarts of 5w-40 liqui moly Leichtlauf High Tech oil.
I change my oil filter every oil change n my advanced synthetic oil liqui moly last 9K
Not that particular one, but I always used mobile 1 filters with all my vehicles, did with my ‘11 touring for the first couple changes, until we started to carry the OEM filter at store level
Wix are better than fram or microgard but they dont beat factory, they restrict oil flow more
Absolutely not normal for 3k miles looks to be oem/ Mann filter but makes no sense to be collapsed already, did you do the oil change yourself or bring it somewhere to get done 3k ago? Also do not use that k&n keep it Mann
I work for a dealership and have seen many Chinese filters collapse just like that...I've seen other Chinese filters get so bad that it starved the engine of oil pressure which lead to vanos faults among other things....I'd always go for bmw oil filters, that's not something I'd be willing to "experiment" with
