That's why I use PureONE #PL14612 (instead of PL14610). "612" is stock size and it can be purchased at any ADVANCED AUTO. For me, the nearest MAZDA dealership isn't real convenient.
....and it comes in a sick blue metal-flake

wrong answer, all filters have one way valves.

-------------------------

fram ...

if a filter is not installed tight on some cars, frams are more prone to blow the rubber gasket, vs other filters. I laid down an oil slick with a fram (porsche924T) at summit point, and while installing new filter off track, several mentioned they had seal blow outs too, a least one was a honda. As I recall, in my case, fram seal was thicker and/or groove was not as deep as with others ... easier to blow out.
