Get rid of your Mazda cartridge style canister and use a much more conventional spin-on filter. Not only does this help with ease of oil changes but if you needed to add any oil gauges, this spin on kit is ready for a sandwich plate adapter.

Bolted right in
Very easy to install. Product arrived early for me. Took me an hour to install. Now this will make it so much easier to change my oil

Should have done it a long time ago
This little thing is super nice. I've been putting this off for a very long time and finally did it, and I really wish I would have a long time ago! Good quality solid part.

Great product. Will save time for sure. BE SURE TO GET THE ALIGNMENT DOWL IN PLACE CORRECTLY!

Same height including a ProSport sensors adapter
I was amazed to see that the oil filter is just about as low as it was with the factory system. I did not expect that. Also, for those who are in Europe, you need to either purchase oil filters from KN (HP-1002) or use the Mazda Skyactiv Diesel filters S550-14-302 9A. Personally I chose the OEM diesel filters because they have a magnet inside to catch whatever goes through.

Highly recommended
A must OEM conversion to all BK(2007-2009) owners. Purchased with the Prosport oil filter adapter. Delivered internationally to Greece in just 4 days!!! 30 minutes job max.

Looks good, needs a recommendation
The unit itself is awesome. The only issue i have is that the oil cooler that sits on top of it needs to come off. If you still have the 1st gen model / haven’t replaced this to the new style, pony up the 155$ and get it. Mazda put out a TSB to not replace gaskets on the old oil cooler as they are known to leak when replaced. The new model oil cooler fixes this. I would recommend this upgrade.

Much needed upgrade for the Gen1 MS3
Shipping was fast and install was pretty straight forward: remove the oil sensor, four bolts holding it to the block, one holding it to the oil cooler, done. Much better than the cartridge oil filter and would highly recommend it.

Superb Quality

Great OEM Product
Just installed this on my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. Edge shipped it quickly to me and the install was straightforward even to a novice wrencher like me. Here's a tip - you don't need replacement gaskets for the oil cooler. I went to buy some at the dealership and was told the oil cooler comes with integrated gaskets that you re-use so essentially this kit comes with everything you need.

Satisfied
Installed this with the sandwich plate. Fit was perfect. As an added bonus I have much less timing chain rattle on a cold start now. Very satisfied

OEM Kit, shipped quickly
I installed this kit on my 2009 Mazdaspeed3 to replace the factory cartridge filter housing. This is an OEM part, along with the provided oil filter. It installs in the same location as the existing cartridge filter, and comes with a new gasket which mounts between the housing and the engine block. You will need a short 15mm box-end wrench in order to remove the bolt holding the oil cooler to the oil filter housing. Be careful in removal and installation that you do not damage the gasket on the oil cooler. The bolt is torqued to ~24 ft-lbs.

Very easy swap
This kit comes with everything needed to change your genwon MS3 to a spin on filter, took minutes to install!

Worth every cent!
Straight forward bolt on replacement, a must for anyone who services their own Mazdaspeed/MPS 3!

ms3 spin on filter kit
Great kit, with all the necessary parts!! Although, it was easy to install, there were no instructions. My only issue with no instructions were I had no torque specs for the adapter plate mount bolts or oil cooler mount bolt.

Oil changes with ease!
Before we had to drain the oil, drain the cartridge holder and find a way to get it off without bathing in oil or stripping the Allen screw. Now it's as easy as drain pan and spin. I'm fully bolted with a modded turbo wheel and will be purchasing the adapter plate for the pressure and temp gauges very soon. It's the only option without drillinformation or tapping and it's great. Easy install besides how sharp it was and 2 out of 5 difficulty if you have the right 1/4in drive universal and 10mm socket. Great stuff here.

Great product
Glad I finally put the conversion on. As has been mentioned before the top drivers side bolt is a bear to get out even with a 1/4" drive, but now that it's done, I'm thrilled with the convenience over the cartridge filter. Also I found that it was best to loosen the 15mm bolt from the top with multiple extensions on a ratchet. Happy modding!

the only mod you have to make
if you dont do anything with your 6/ms6/3/ms6/etc, then you need to make this mod. it can be a pain to install but once it's all said and done, you'll have no regrets.
