I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __oil filter dimensions
Decided to do an intermediate oil and filter change. Got 2 oil filters, they look like this
However when it came to change it, I realised that my replacement filter is half the length of the one on the car. It should have been fitted by a Mazda dealer last August.
Decided to play it safe and leave the old filter in place until I’ve checked what is going on.
Are there short and long versions of the oil filter?
I inputted my NC model on to that eBay listing, computer says no!
It definitely looks shorter than any filters I’ve changed on an NC and that is many over 9 years.
I’ve learned never to trust eBay sellers unless you’ve dealt with them with good results in the past. Always cross reference parts and numbers with a leading supplier or just use them in the first place.
Just buy from someone you can trust. Your oil and your filter are key. I’m for Mazda and MX5parts. They may try to rip you off elsewhere but you will get the genuine item where it counts.
