whats a good oil

[Matt V]

So if I wanted to get the 626 filter what car do I need to ask for when buying a filter at Napa?

An 02 626 v6 would work, really any year 626 v6 should be the same filter

i ran 3 quarts of pennzoil platinum and 1 quart of royal purple with a millenia pcv and 626 puralator pureone filter. tomorrow i will try 4 quarts of platinum with a p5 pureone filter. i dont think it'll be much of a difference but i havent had an oil change since last may. it has lasted a good while lol (bolt)

Filter for an 02 Mazda 626 with a v6, I believe.

That's all I run is OEM 626 filters. Around 20% greater filtration area. Can is the same diameter, just longer.

 

[Matt V]

I'm gonna try that 626 filter deal soon, sounds like a simple but good little upgrade for the oiling system.

 

[Matt V]

For those who have used the 626 filter, do I get the one for the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder?

 

[dtre83]

the filter is for the kl 2.5L from 626, millenia, probe, ect.

but only use 3.7 qt for the change.

I about flipped out when I only used that much oil! I made sure the car was on level ground, checked again and sure enough, thats how much I used also.

I use 5w 30 full synthetic CAM2 Synavex oil. I purchase the oil and a filter directly from a distributor. It made a noticeable difference in take off, acceleration in ALL GEARS (5 speed), and better gas mileage on my p5 with 88k miles.

5w30 Royal Purple or Mobil1 Synthetic. Thinking about getting few quarts of Amsoil Synthetic oil. I've been told the Amsoil oil is the best out there on the market.

back to the 626 filter.....

I talked to someone about it and they asked me: "does it seal up the same as the p5 one does?".

Well does it seal up good?

From what I've seen, the base is the same size and threaded, just a taller filter for holding more oil.

 

[drgnzadiel101]

yes it seals up exactly the same. it literally is the same exact filter just a few inches taller

 

[poison]

It's only 3/4 in taller, or something. 20% bigger is a good estimate.

5W-20 Ford Motorcraft semi-synthetic here.

5/20? Kinda thin, no?

 

[BoostedPR5]

5w20 Valvoline Full Synth, this time though Mobil 1 since it was cheaper anyways. Also 5w20.
