Title: FD Oil Filter Part no Needed
Post by: SupraZed on July 08, 2008, 06:29:00 PM
I\'m planning to do an oil change this weekend and just wanted to check which oil filter to buy.

Is the FD oil filter common to any other Mazda cars or is it specific, and any idea on much it should cost.

Cheers

Common to other Mazdas, bought some recently from Mazda - think they were £7 or something like that

You can buy the correct filter from Halfords

little tip when your doing your oil change dont forget to wipe a little oil around the rubber ring in the bottom of the filter to help create a good seal dont screw it in dry it will leak

Thanks for the tips, although I would like to add that too much lubrication can detract from the experience! :D
