I use WIX filters, but have always heard good things about the OEM filters, now I learn that they are made by Fram?
Why do OEM filters get such good reviews compared to Fram's terrible reputation? |

After doing extensive research, I used the OEM Mazda oil filter in my last oil change... Same as the old (good) Black filters but just a tad taller....

According to some insider sources: both have confirmed any blue honeywell (fram) from Canada recently wouldn't hve been a problem. This is most likely affecting US market. At least Subaru Canada's system doesn't show any recalls.
FWIW: fram is okay with your everyday car, as long as you change it up often enough. It's still filters. Just terrible if you pay stealerships pricing on it. |

I have been using these for the past year on my gc and gd,
the 15208AA160 is same width as the 15208AA12A just a bit taller. the 15208AA130 is same height as the 15208AA12A but a bit wider. Both the have the correct bypass pressure and made at TK. |

Are the Mazda black ones OK for N/A cars, or turbo only? The bypass pressure, that is. If they're good for the N/A cars I might switch over to them.

Most of you guys know how good these are. Actually Fram Heavy duty guard oil filter/mobil 1/wax/purolator are all very good filters as well. Check bypass pressure before mount on your car.
Mobil 1 oil filter is highly recommend by some suby members *15208AA100* Here is the alternative one for suby jdm tokyo roki Mazda RX8 tokyo roki----n3r1 14 302 Last edited by fujiwara_yingyu; 02-27-2013 at 03:02 AM. |

Ignore the purolator... I bought a bunch of those pre-maturely.
Mazda in middle, OEM from first oil change on right |

na's are rated at 22.8 psi / 157 kPa turbos at 23.2 psi / 160 kPa i know the brz filter has an anti-drain back valve because of the way it's mounted but should be no problem to use. If someone has there hands on a brz or 12+ FORESTER service manual, maybe they can confirm it... |
