Hi all,


anyone in the UK can help me obtaining a genuine rx7 fd oil filter? or perhaps a part number to look for.

I see so many aftermarket ones or oem quality ones - but the consensus seems to be that the originals are the best.

I cant seem to find any though.

The ONE that i found on ebay sold and was £15

Most others are about £4-8 anyone have any recommendations

fduk.org is a great forum/community.

 

I have no qualms about using non OEM ones. if you want OEM, just go to Mazda. Same as a MK1/2 MX5 IIRC. HOF257 in Halfords I think.

 

the FD filter is the same as the miata, and the 03-08 Rx8, and a bunch of other Mazda's.

 

B6Y1-14-302 9A is the stock oil filter

 

Jimmys RX7 in Norwich, get mine from him.

 

the 9A suffix is for the US market only, its Mazda usa's code for an aftermarket supplier.

 

We have the 9A in Norway also.

 

really? weird. i guess i learned something

 

I've been using the HKS something-something pink oil filters for quite some time now. Probably 2 years plus.
I find they are perfectly reasonable and work well as an alternative to OEM.

Also, have used the K&N filters (with the hex nut on the end) before that. They are good too, but the HKS looks to be a better design and the quality seems much better.

 

I just use a Halfords RX8 filter

 

Yep, just got one from Jimmys a couple weeks ago.
