either the dealer or mazda swag. crazy thing is I got a $30 coupon from my local mazda dealer that claimed same as cash on it. I asked if I could use it on filters and the parts guy looked at it and said yes and brought out three 1wpy-14-302 filters. So my point is check your dealership or call to see what they charge. Prior to this time they wanted $19.95 for the same filter so I ordered 4 via mazda swag and emailed them and they sent a discounted shipping code. This is the filter your car came with from Japan.
they have the 1wpy-14-302 filters I just inquired about discounting shippingYou emailed Swag and inquired about ordering the WPY filters rather than what they have on their website? And they even gave you a discount on shipping?
