Oil filter part # Motmaster ect...
 

I noticed when I changed my oil that the last garage put a Penzoil Oil filter that was twice the capacity as my stock filter. But since I can't find Penzoil oil fliters in stores!! Does anybody know the part # for those longer oil filters on used on the 1.6l 01 PRO! I have always used the 6607 but I have seen a fliter like a 7413 or 7314 that looks like it would fit nicely! Anybody know the part #? Does Masda think this is a good idea? Larger filter/? I know i'll need more oil! but...

The Protege's have been using the same filter for about a decade now, the 6607 (I think) and I used to change it for a... I can't think of it right now, and I haven't changed the oil on my P5 yet... so I haven't looked into it.

I will post as soon as I remember, or find an old bill...

use any late model 6 cyclinder mazda motor filter. I don't know if the duratech motor is the same so use pre 2002 6 cyclinder mazda motors.

Canadian Tire's Motomaster oil filters and Pennzoil oil filters are actually relabelled Frams. :eek:

Many people on this board are of the opinion that Fram filters are of questionable quality. Go check these links out yourself, and draw your own conclusions:

I believe other rebranded Frams are:

- Petro-Canada
- current Quaker State

There might be others. I personally prefer to stick to either Mazda filters, or in aftermarket, AC Delco and Purolator. The oil change places I use supply Kralinator, but I can't find anything on those filters.

I have a 93 and a 97 Protege. I've been using the FRAM 7317 which is for V6 Mazdas. The original is a PH6607 (FRAM) which is very small. The taller 7317 fits with no clearance problems. I don't know how the engine bay is configured on the newer models but it should fit the same if Mazda is still employing this size filter for all I-4 cars. I've been using the V6 filters for over 5 years. No problems to date.
