It wasn't today, but over the weekend I finally made time to get rid of the canister oil filter. Installed the spin on unit, pretty easy minus the f-ing engine shroud. I also waited a bit longer than I wanted to.
Sorry, after I finished I said to myself, "Self, you should have taken some pics, maybe even done a write-up." Honestly it is a very straightforward swap. After you remove the shroud from under the engine. Drain the oil just as you would for an oil change. Clean the area around the filter housing, you will be suprised at how much crap will be around it. Disconnect wire on the oil switch and remove oil switch from old housing (sorry not sure on size I had to use a cresent wrench as I did not have a wrench that big). Remove the 4 bolts that attach the housing to the block (10 mm socket and short extension) at this point the old housing should be in your hand. Wipe mounting surface and reverse the order to mount the new housing. Fill your favorite brand of oil filter with oil and spin it on. Refill crankcase with oil (about 4 qts.) I dumped some in waited, and checked the oil like 6 times until I hit the full mark. Start the engine and check for leaks. It took me longer to deal with the shroud than it did to change the housing. Almost forgot Mazda part #L302-14-311(housing) and LF01-14-342 (gasket) I ordered them from my nearest dealer IIRC I paid 65 or 70 bucks.Pics plz.

Why do you have the breather positioned there? doesnt that whole tube just get deleted and the breather filter get popped on the back there?
Nice splitter. It looks good, and if you ever track the car it should help w/handling stability at speed as well.I installed a GV replica front lip and autoexe replica spoiler. The 3 sure turns some heads now.
