Well went to my local Mazda parts guy and he gave me this filter which looks smaller than all the aftermarkets out there. Can someone verify this part #?
#B6Y1 14 302 9A

 

it should be really small compared to most...thats how mazda made them.

 

The original equipment filter is B6Y114302 on the boxes in the garage. It was a very small filter from the factory- 2.75" wide, and 2.5" high. I believe all Mazda filters are the same, o ring diameter and thread size, and the only difference is the shell size.

 

well just did a google.
b6y114302 is th old filter and discontinued
b6y1143029a is the replacement

 

if you think thats small take a look at the oem nissan oil filter for the v6 vq35de

 

Mazda only use a few sizes of oil filter, and use the same one for all their small passenger car engines including all rotaries. If if fits, it's the right one.

 

14-302A-G6Y0

What about this part number from Mazdatrix? Is this OEM?
