Good thread; thanks to all. Here's my position: Our 2019 CX-5 has yet to hit 30,000 miles. We have other cars to drive, so it's use is for longer trips, etc. We are retired so that helps, (except financially!!!!) I expect to drop my dealer for service work, and he's a 160 mile round trip anyhow. (Although I do other errands when in the, "city.") I plan to do the same thing with our Mazda as I've done for years with our 2 older 240 Volvos - I buy genuine Volvo/Mann filters by the case from a reliable Volvo source. Have for years. I just want to do the same thing to get genuine Mazda filters. Tomorrow, I'm getting the dealer to do oil/filter change as I've found a coupon and I've things to do in Spokane. I'll ask their parts dept. for a price on filters. That 'oughta be a good one! I can't image they'd be affordable there. Next, I have to find a big dealership somewhere that sells by the case at a fair price. Or......some plan that works. Those are the real bottom line answers I'm , "shopping," for.
