I mentioned i would post and talk about Oil Filters.
Lets start by doing a 101 on Oil Filter. I watched this youtube a while ago.
The 13 best and worst oil filters .
Btw...when i started to track more i moved to using the K&N performance gold (HP - 1002)
I think i may have found an even better oil filter than the K&N ....
Here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzCqjZgIMBk
He does mention K&N is cardboard filter membrane but is actually a synthetic blend similar
to what is in the K &N Air filter
After this i'll find a post what is in a OEM Mazda oil filter to compare with the above filters .
Then dig into whats the best way to protect against wear n tear / metal debris in your engine oil
and best way i think to trap this metal shaving produced by wear n tear than filters do not trap.
If its a good idea to extend your oil change interval from mazda recommended interval
