I use PureOne when I run out of OEMs that I order through Mazda Motorsports for dirt cheap. Re: oil, I only use Havoline 5W-30 with maybe a dash of Royal Purple for good measure. Always used Havoline ($11/5qt jug at Walmart) but the choice got easier when Murray's Auto Parts cleared it out for $1/qt! I bought everything.

Only OE for my car. I typically buy 6 at a time, so when I'm own to my last one, I order another set.

I use Fram filters because they are readily available but prefer to use OEM.

I have been using Fram on and off for more than 13 years and I have yet to see a failure in person.

The OEM seems to be a very well-made unit, and can be had at a great price, not much more than 1/3 the cost of a Mobil1 filter, for example.

Here's a picture of one that I had sitting around waiting for recycle, that I cut (tore) open. I was speculating that it might fit on a Subaru -- they recently changed their filter from a similar construction to one that is more Fram-like.

I get my filters and spark plugs from autozone. I get Castro Oil and Mobil Oil filterM108. You can even get oem plugs for $20 each :smoker: plugs get there in one day. But you cont go wrong.

I get mine from finishlineperformance.com (Rosenthal Mazda). They have graciously hosted the RX-8 TSBs for years and deserve some patronage, imo.

My local Mazda dealer offer the Mazda filter @$5.50 if you buy (3) oil filters. Not sure if CA dealers can match that..but, wouldn't hurt to call around your local Mazda dealer for "bulk" purchase of oil filters.
