Genuine Mazda Oil Filter Cartridge - MX5 MK3/NC (06-15)

Genuine Mazda SH01-14-302A Engine Oil Filter

Replacement Genuine Mazda engine oil filter for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / Mk3.5 / Mk3.75 (NC), Mazda3, Mazda5, Mazda6, CX-3, CX-5, CX-7 and selected Mazda2 / Tribute applications listed in the compatibility table.

The engine oil filter removes fine particles, metallic debris, soot and contamination from the engine oil as it circulates through the lubrication system. Correct filtration helps protect bearings, camshafts, timing components, turbocharger components where fitted, and other oil-fed engine internals.

There is typically one engine oil filter fitted per vehicle. It is located on the engine lubrication system and should be replaced as part of routine engine oil servicing.

This part is commonly replaced during every scheduled oil and filter service, when carrying out preventative maintenance, after engine repairs, or where previous servicing history is unknown. A quality OE filter helps maintain correct oil flow and filtration performance under Mazda’s intended operating conditions.

Useful tools / consumables: Oil drain tray, suitable oil filter removal tool or filter housing socket, socket set, torque wrench, funnel, protective gloves, workshop towels and the correct Mazda-approved engine oil grade for the vehicle.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. The oil filter is a routine service item, but access and filter housing style can vary by engine. Always allow the engine to cool, support the vehicle safely where required, and tighten the drain plug and filter housing to Mazda workshop manual torque specification.
