i have a mazda OEM oil filter for an FC that a friend gave me. can i use it on my 94 FD?

 

I think they are the same. To double check though, call your local parts store and ask them for a filter number for both cars. If they match then you know for sure.

 

Yes. The older filters tend to be bigger, which is one reason I use them on my car. I actually use aftermarket (non-Mazda) filters specified for FCs and older rotaties rather than the ones specified for the third gen, but I imagine the Mazda FC filter would work also.

thanks guys...

man, getting an answer on this forum was quicker than calling the dealer! not to mention i trust you guys more too...

 

The first gen filter is even larger. I'm using on on my car now.
