Oil and Air filter part numbers?

[naddie]

I don't have my MS3 yet, but in anticipation, I'm looking into a K&N drop-in air filter and some oil filters (lots of oil changes during the break in period).

At Walmart, they list a part number for the FRAM oil filter, but not the air filter. Which one do the MS3 uses?

Also, if I get the oil filter adapter kit, what oil filter (part number) does THAT use?

I'd like to use Mobil 1 oil filters and K&N air filters, so part numbers for those would be nice (unless Mazda OEM oil filters are better for some reason - I know with Nissan, the OEM is better than the Mobil 1s).

Did anyone here buy the oil adapter?

The air filter is the same one that the N/A 2.0/2.3 mz3 use.

The Walmart directory only shows the partnumber for the stock oil filter (cartridge type), and only for the standard orange FRAM. It doesn't even show the part number for the air filter (neither for the Mazda 3 or the MS3), which is why I'm asking here.

I noticed I posted in the wrong area, so thanks to the mods who moved it.

I'd also like to know what oil filter to use when we use the oil filter adapter. Or is using the cartridge type better than the screw-on type?
