Been researching the different drop in panel filters. Think I have it boiled down to the JBR but had a couple questions..
1) unlike a cone filter where you can clean it without contaminating the inside with the dirty water, panel filter seems like it would be hard to clean.... so I guess basically I'm just asking how do you clean the panel filter because their website suggests you swirl it around in a bucket of soap water which seems like it would contaminate the "clean" side.
2) their site says it filters down to 0.1 micron... what I can't find out is what the OEM Mazda filter does. Seems like many people feel the Mazda filter is top notch.
Fyi, as an interesting side note, my Mazda with a 2.0 engine uses the same oem filter as my Mazda 2.5.... so if the filter flows enough for the 2.5, seems like it has room to spare with the 2.0.
