I did my 2nd oil change at 5900 miles, i use OEM Filter, and Castoral Edge 0w20 full syn, i feel the run smoother and feel a bit more throttle repsonse.. idk if this is just me.

 

In case anyone's curious

This is a OEM filter after 5500 miles while the car's at 23k miles using Eneos 0w-20. Personally I wouldn't wait till 10k miles for a oil change :laugh2:

 

Went to dealer for oil filters and they had 1WPE-14-302 filters in stock. Is this now the correct filter for the 2014 2.0 Skyactiv engine?

 

The correct one is just above your post :laugh2:

 

I did request the PE01-14-302A but was told that "Mazda had changed the number" to 1WPE-14-302, but I can't find any on-line reference that indicates that Mazda made this change; I want to make sure before I actually use the 1WPE filter I bought.

 

I would ask other Mazda dealers for the PE01-14-302A oil filter for peace of mind bec there are plenty of them available. The 1WPE-14-302 filter in your photo is made in Thailand, not sure about that one !

 

+1 on the Castrol Edge and Fram filter

 

I need to buy an oil filter tomorrow and I have used the OEM one because I have read somewhere online that skyactiv engines have special bypass and some other thing that the original OEM filter has and not others. I have the 2012 Skyactiv 2.0 not sure if its the same for newer 2.0 and 2.5 or if 3rd partie have catch to this.

 

Been using Pennzoil Platnium for a good while now and every runs perfect, paired with a WIX filter.

 

Out Mobil 2 0w20

15K km oci

In Castrol edge w/ Syntec 5w20

Same filter as last oci XG6607

 

FYI: without oil filter change the oil is still the same!!

4.4L

 

Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum & Purolator PureOne filter.
Change every 5k.

 

Tearolators

 

Motul 0w20 with oem oil filter

 

so far Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (0W-20) and an OEM filter.. not sure if I'll shell out the extra $$ for the Pennzoil U.P every oil change, though.

 

Whatever synthetic is on sale + OEM Mazda oil filter ( Made in Japan, just like the car, yo! )

 

I've been using a few brand engine Oil on my 2014 mazda 3 sport. Fresh oil change every 4000km-5000km
Brand as follow
Mazda syn 0w-20 (came with the car) - Its basic syn oil nothing special or bad about it
Motul Eco-nergy syn 0w-30 -4nd Choice (didn't noticed much different from Mazda syn 0w-20 after oil change)
Eneos SUSTINA 0W-20 syn -3nd Choice (car runs less smooth after 5000km and oil was super dirty)
Liqu Moly 0w-40 syn -2nd Choice
Liqu Moly 0w-20 syn -1st Choice

I've found that Liqu Moly 0-20w syn performed the best on my car ( Base on overall Cold starts, long driving trip, acceleration and most importantly after 5000km the car still runs smooth)

I 've been using Mazda OEM oil filter (blue) since day one. I do find mazda OEM filter works the best on the car base on how the inside were made and how dirty of the oil.

P.S. Please stay away from Fram, your oem oil filter will perform much better than that

 

Mazda fixed price servicing in Australia is expensive. A Basic oil change at dealer is A$300! Australian servicing is every 12 mths/10,000km.

OTOH You can get a synthetic oil that meets OEM requirements for A$50 (on sale), and a reasonable brand oil filter for A$15. I have in my possession an unopened jug of STP 10w-40, i'll use that. I don't care about brands. It's all good.

Then while the car is on jack stands, inspect inspect inspect.........I try and not take the wheels off unless I have to.

 

Aussies getting taken for a ride.

Canada it is $60 for synthetic.

But I never trust any of those grease monkeys.

 

Oci done.

This time I put in 5w20 Castrol Edge
With XG7317

 

XG7317 won't allow enough clearance for the drainbolt to be removed!

Stick to the xg6607

My OCI was 10k KM Castrol 5w20

 

just bought Eneos 0W20 premium ultra oil, time to see how will it behave

 

Just did another change, this time with the Mazda OEM 0W-20 GF-5 w/ Moly oil and Mazda OEM filter.

Last change was about 6,500 ago with Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 and OEM filter.

Anyone else getting a bit of oil consumption? Not a lot for 6-7k but I noticed a little.

 

0W20 synthetic of whatever is on sale at Canadian Tire. Usually cost around $26-$34. Napa 27002 Oil Filter.

 

Here are my numbers

Basically 10k mile oil changes since the car was new using Walmart's Mobil 1 EP and Amazon Purolator Filters (normally). At 50K now and happy with my choice.

 

Hi, I use for 74000km Castrol Edge Titanium FST 0W-30 and use OEM mazda oil filter or K&N oil filter. Changing oil and filter every 10000km and everything OK.

 

I'm MZD lost my account after website got hacked :S

12K KM M1 108 0W20 Castrol

 

Used to use OEM filters but they are made in another country now and dont seem as good quality. Switching to wix/napa gold (specific made for mazda). I used castrol 1X, never again stupid dark bottle is very hard to read which doesnt help given the terrible dip stick design. So either moble 1/M1 extended performance or penzoil platnium/ultra

 

Im still using good old Mazda oil and filter. 55k on it and going strong. chaging it every 10k miles. Blackstone says I can go 12k!

 

I use mobil extended but bought a batch of mazda oil filters. Was wondering if they could keep up with my 101 oil changes and sounds like they can
