16.00 for an oil filter? That's insane. I pay like 8 dollars from the dealership.

Dont buy any Oil or Filter from Greddy

They're all rebrands of some other brand --- Which means overpriced.

you better off just get some good Synthetic like RP/RedLine/Idemitsu/Eneos

For Filter. Stock Mazda filter will filter up to 18 microns ---- which is more than enough for most cars, and its better than some aftermarket filters. Best thing about it its cheap --- 5-6 bux the most.

Waste of money IMO. Here is some good reading about oil filters:
