I've been buying my filters from Honey Mazda. They charge something like
$3.95 each. I buy about 10 at a time. In fact, its time to call again.
Although aftermarket filters are most likely fine, I *have* heard of others
having problems. Once I had an aftermarket filter crack and cause an oil
leak. At least with Mazda OEM equipment, you could always go back to Mazda
without any possible "finger pointing."
