Ive heard to many diffrent answeres for this simple question so i figured this would be the place to ask

 

i use a Mobil 1 filter. theyre kinda expensive, but i understand theyre the best you can get

 

 

Fram, I have always used it, my father always used it. I usually get the x2 or whatever the hell it is. (the more expensive one) I am sure some will think its crazy but ****, I only use it for 3000miles then throw it away. With good oil, I don't think it really matters.

 

Mobil for both.

 

EGADS NO, Fram is one of the worst...

you should use the stock Mazda filter or the Mobil 1.

here is a link (again) for those of you who are stuck on useing the crappy cheap filters and for those who can't search on this website for the answer to this same question a dozen times:

i know on a T2, Castrol GTX 20w50 is what 90% of people agree on for oil. i would say use Castrol GTX 10w30 for an N/A. as for a filter, i would say OEM or K&N, but i'm sure a Mobil 1 filter would be excellent as well.

 

And once again in a rotary 10W30 should only be used in the climates that are under 75F and above 10F. It should never be used in temperatures above 80F or premature engine and oil failure may occur.

Don’t you guys read the owners manual or even that little sticker under the hood???

No wonder rotaries have a bad rap for reliabilty in some peoples minds… using the wrong oil and filters is a sure way to blow one up.

Anyway 20W50 should be used at temps above 20F

 

Where's the link? No quaker state is the worst. I am not going to argue over it, you use yours I use mine. I'm happy your happy, were all happy. Not to be an *** but could you show me some link to oil filters and whats the best. Just would like a reason to switch, haven't had a problem my entire life with fram. Thanks

 

I use castrol 20w50 oil. I usually use a Pure1 filter. Fram is BY FAR the WORST filter to use. NEVER EVER USE FRAM!! They say that the fram filters the best, this may be true. But it is due to all the **** that they pack the filter with. Im suprised any oil can get through there at all, much less flow well enough to maintain a descent oil pressure. Fram sucks, stay away!!

 

MAZDA factory Filter
Mobile 1, redline or royal purple for those of us without OMP's and are running pre-mix.

 

How long has been your life???

anyway here's the link again (someday I am sure someone will use the search function)

ven't really done much research on oil filter. I have owned toyota since I was 16 and wasn't going to spend the money on fancy filters. You can feed those ******* sand. hehehe I guess I used them because my dad, but as the article state back in the day they were good! 60-70's. I'll be switching. And I do use the damm search feature. I was expecting a link because it said here's the link. Jeezzz!

Ok so its factory or Mobile for filter
But for the oil...
I live in mass and the weather here is to put it lightly,
****** retarded
Sorry bout the language but i hate the weather here
anyways, its like 90 for a few days then its like 60 and of corse in winter its like -30 so what viscosity should i use in summer and winter
Im sure ill go with Mobile no matter what though

 

i've always used k&n filter with good results. FRAM is crap. next time ur at kragen pick up a FRAM filter then pick up a K&N, the k&n is like 3 times heavier.

 

I like the purolater pure one. Kinda pricey but then I have my advance auto discount

20W50 would be fine anytime that the weather is above 20F.

however at -30F you are limited to only 5W30, but that should be changed as soon as the temp gets above 30F.

 

I used to use a Purolator Pure one but I used a Wix last time.May start using them all the time.Castrol 20w50 for oil but it doesn't get below 20degrees very much here.

 

Castrol 20-50 and Mobil 1 M1-101 Filter. I use 20-50 castrol syntec blend in my NA 199,790 miles and counting. all original except the tranny.

 

is it ok to run redline with the omp working

 

Based on the oil study that I posted (http://www.vtr.org/maintain/oil-overview.html) it should be safe to use Mobil 1 or Amsoil, but because of the high flash point of the Redline (500F + or - 5F) there might be issues. The only saving grace on using the Redline is the low ash level.

But the zero zinc amount, suggests that both the Mobil 1 and Redline should not be used in engines with any significant wear.
