Ed, Both are Purolator filters, Used one as well as new filter are the same as part number shown on box. I will get dimensions using vaneer calipers to compare with your mesurements on the factory Mazda unit. Give me two days to post these. Craig

Changed to oil in the CX7 today at about 17,000 miles. I was using Mobil 1 and the Pure One Purolator filter. I had not previously heard of the issue with the aftermarket filters. The filter cap is spring loaded to keep the filter under pressure on the base. Could it be that the filter medium...

I'm using the Pureolater "Pure one" on mine with no problems. It is the same height as stock filter. Going to change again this weekend.

I still have this occational knock, and I too dont believe mine is related to octane. I have only used Premium (91 in Calif) and have tried several different stations and brands of gas. The ECU and TCM reprograms were recently done and had no effect. I also don't think it is related to heat soak...

For a stock replacement panel filter, I believe that the filter for the Mazdaspeed 6 with same engine uses the same filter. K&N lists the stock Mazda filter number. http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2279

Try Aerospace 303 protectant, This is what I use and it removes the marks and does not leave any high gloss or oily feeling like Armorall. Works great for the dash and outside black trim also. Lasts a long time. Find it on the net or at RV supply stores and Spa stores...

The last part of the vin after the 7 is the numerical part of the vin number 0164468 Since this number is the highest of the ones shown, it is the most recent build. The build date is also listed on the door sticker.

The fog is actually water vapor. The cooling coil is so cold it causes the humidity in the air to percipitate in to the vapor you see. Running the air conditioner for prolonged periods with low fan speed can cause the coil to freeze over with moisture further reducing air flow. Shutting car off...

Dealer probably failed to retighten fuel line.(uhm)

Just a cool blue light to iluminate the center console at night.
