Alright, Spring Break is finally here for me. Due to my brother going to a $38k a year college, and me buying my 10AE, I am stuck at home with nothing to do. Last year I changed the fuel filter on my cutlass, so I figured changing the fuel filter on my AE, (maybe start a tradition) Anyway, any preffered brands or brands to look out for? Last year I put a Purolator in my cutlass and it seemed to do a fine job.

Anybody have any reccomendations?
Thanks,
Michael

Is there anything that sets the oem filter ($33.00) apart from a Purolator ($10)?

With RX's try to get as much OEM parts as possible, they are made specificly for our cars. Where as the purolator might work on 5 other cars as well.

Another thing, use the oem mazda oil filters, they work wonders copared to others.

Check mazdaformance.com on there pricing...

Already use the OEM oil filters, they're the best.

Might as well go OEM with the FF as well, I don't mind putting the exrta $ into the AE, to me it's worth it. (Along with the $1.89 95 octane as well)

speaking of the stock fuel filter, how secure will a 3/8" ID fuel hose fit on the stock filter? The stock filter and lines are for a 5/16" ID

Thats the same way I feel, if you are going to do it, do it right and do it well!

Besides it only money and if the few extra bucks makes the engine last alittle longer, I think it is worth it...

Hmmm, you cannot find 5/16? If not use better clamps then..

totallimmortal

3/8s should work find with some good screw tipe clamps not the clamp style stock ones tho

Stock OEM is best, unless you're shooting for over 400hp.

Any reason you're not using 5/16"???

www.srmotorsports.com sells them.

You can see how big it is here:

that is huge. I can see why you wouldn't need that unless you were pushing some big numbers.

Check http://www.summitracing.com/
Do a search for "fuel filter injection".
There's lots of options.
For cheap, we use the Earls units for about $40 each.

And I stand to this day positive that Evil Rotor still has the best looking engine bay in the 2nd gen forum in my opinion.
