In my Turbo, I use what many consider the best oil for gdi engines, pennzoil ultra platinum 5w/30 with the oem mazda filter. Although some aftermarket filters have better filter media, none meet the 22 psi bypass valve specs on the turbo engine.
Since I change my oil every 3,500 miles, the OEM is the best choice.
His initial experience with the Mazda has been pleasant, but it's definitely not as refined as the Corolla. Definitely sportier and looks great, but it has some areas where it's rougher around the edges than the Corolla. Things like having a different size oil filter from the factory than what is sold as the replacement part... Quality of Life stuff like that.
OEM ford filter will be better then you will get at most oil changes spots and the same if you pay the dealership
I was having the same noise on cold startup with an aftermarket filter and switched back to the fomoco filter and it went away. Something to do with a drain valve in the filter. The ford one is silicone and some of the aftermarket ones arent and it can cause problems.
I personally use the Ford motorcraft OEM filters in the largest size that fits cleanly with a similar bypass pressure.
Every 5000 miles, it's time for 16 quarts of oil and a filter the approximate size of a Nalgene bottle.
I went through the same thing, I believe the part number that they gave you is the made in Mexico Mazda value oil filter. It worked on my 2.5 NA. Though in my opinion, the quality of the filter is subpar compared to the OEM made in Thailand filters.
FZ is expensive, but not as expensive as a new transmission. Get the FZ.
Raise you a 3.0 ford taurus, which dumped all of the dirty oil right onto the starter.
