Oil filter Bosch or Castrol
OEM Mahle/Mann are best. Next best is the higher end Bosch filters.
Yes, the Bosch 3300 is correct for your car. I just used exactly that one for my oil change a few weeks ago.
I buy Castrol edge and Mazda oil filter off Amazon.
I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.
I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.
I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.
Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval
a 5qt Castrol edge 0w-20 container is $19. + $8 for a filter .. $30 every 5K miles is cheap imo..
After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
