Is there a good reason why Mazda is using the cartridge oil filter? Is there an advatage?

Well I'll keep a lookout for your car then. I'm often downtown. I'll be taking a trip to Woodhouse in a week or so to see if I can get me a 5 (it's between the 5 and the 3... but we need a 6-seater). Will give a dealer-report.

New member here. I'm in Lincoln. Used to live in the middle of corn fields and actually knew my neighbors. I'm working on getting rid of my Chevy Crapalier and picking up a 5. It's either that or a 3s. There's plenty of 3s and 3-hatches around here... and I've seen one 5 so far.

Interesting. An oil cooler... that's cool... isn't it?

I think it was that phantom blue color. I saw it at the Holdrege and 70th intersection. Did you get you 5 at Woodhouse?

I'm wondering if the Mazda 5 have the same cartridge filter as the 3 and 6 do? I really hope it has the twist on type... please!

I just saw for the first time a Mazda 5... and in Lincoln NE. I couldn't figure out what it was at first (forgot about the 5). I was about to get a Mazda 3 and have changed my mind. I'm planning on going to Woodhouse as well (they've a big inventory!). The Linocln Mazda dealer doesn't even...

I bought an extended warranty on a 97 Cavalier and never used it. So I decided to pass on it for my '02 Cavalier... bad. As soon as the original warranty expired all sorts of problems came about... grrr... POS crapalier! I am simply not ever going to buy another GM... in other words GM...

Yes, the one option I must have... (rant). Now the wife is thinking we might need to the 5-door. Well at least it comes with 2.3 and 17s (I like the looks of the sedan). For comparison I test-drove a Honda 2006 Civic sedan the other day. Not nearly as nice as the Mazda3 (and the 1.8L...

Yeah, I like the front grill better too. I hate moon/sun-roofs (had one on a Golf and the stupid think leaked and the dealer could NEVER fix it!!!). And yes, I'm on one of those "stupidly strict budgets"... can you say, "Ramen noodles"? (boom07) Unfortunately I can't get my wife to learn the...

Googled "mazdaspeed forums". Great place here. I post over at vwvortex.com, and have checked out their triplezoom.com Mazda forums ( www.vortexmediagroup.com ) but things are slow there... hense the Google search.

I'm planning on getting a Mazda3 in a month or so. Looking at the 3i-Touring (with ABS option) or the 3s (only about $500 more than the 3iT and it come standard with ABS, the 2.3 and a few other things). What I'm wondering, is the 2.3 motor worth $500 more? My wife says things like, "but...
