Looking for credible place to buy Mazda air filters online or ebay

[txt990]

I called the local Mazda dealer and they are asking $35 for a 2016 CX-5 Mazda air filter. A few years ago I bought it on Amazon when they were like $21. But not sure if these online places are authorized Mazda parts places. Now they are like $27 on Amazon now. On Ebay I find them for as low as $20.25. But just want to make sure I get a genuine part and not counterfeit.

Part#
Mazda PE07-13-3A0A

I had tried a Denso air filter a few years back from RockAuto and I could tell the car responded better with the OEM air filter. I am a little worried to try aftermarket such as Fram, etc.

Any recommendation?

Wish I could tell you. I run OEM Mazda filters. I would NOT go ebay unless a bona-fide Mazda dealer ebay store. About 6 months ago I bought one from a third party (yea, I know) for~ $25 and although the box label etc looked like it really (I mean really) could be genuine, once received, it was a counterfeit. Compared to the OEM, this had less pleats, a thin hard plastic frame and lacked the molded in Mazda logo. It went back to the vendor. Ebay is getting worse and the counterfeiters have stepped up their game including indistinguishable packaging. Oh yea, you wouldn't believe how many fakes are advertised as "genuine OEM" and just not the more prevalent, aftermarket one's advertised as " FOR Mazda cx-5 5" or "For XYZ auto". I'd be careful with Amazon also unless Mazda dealer, but even then they weren't exactly cheaper when I checked before going ebay. Good luck.
I'm not due for ~2,000 miles so have time to search.

I saw a Mazda air filter on Amazon being sold by Toyota of Nort Miami parts department. I believe this dealership also owns a Mazda dealership. So, I might get it from them.

What interval do you change your air filters?

Try Med Center Mazda, they are a Mazda dealer that sells parts online discounted from MSRP. Engine air filter should be around $25.

I change at 20,000 miles with a Mazda filter (not Mazda's budget MV line if they offer an air filter) .

How much is shipping unless meeting minimum dollar amount order for free shipping. Adding in shipping may meet or exceed local dealer price. The shipping charge has kept me from ordering from an online Mazda dealer since I don't need any other parts.

$9.99. I change it out every 15k miles.

Shipping is free for orders over $100. If doing your own service it shouldn't be hard to put together an order of air filters, oil filters, etc. that would get free shipping. OP seemed to want real Mazda parts (as do I).

Here is the Mazda filter on Amazon for $27.50 and free shipping. It's sold by a Toyota Dealership. Pretty sure they own the Mazda dealership as well in that area.

Thanks. I just looked them up (Toyota and Mazda of North Miami) both have the same dealer principal so it looks legit. I think that just ended my search. It's only a few bucks more than I paid for my last one over 3 years ago. Thanks again.
