Any panel filter will do from local motor factors, their all much of a muchness tbh, oil wise some of us have just changed to shell helix ultra 5w 40 http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68976-shell ... e-oil.aspx and again for filter anything close to oem spec from motor factors will be fine.  to the forum btw

When replacing the air filter, make sure you get one for the 6MPS and no other Mazda variant. You might also consider the K&N version which will last the lifetime of the car. You just need to clean it occasionally. If you intend to go for an intake upgrade at some stage then I would get the standard replacement for now.
