Which filter should I use next?

[BovineScapegoat]

I have an 05 Mazda 3 2.0

Coming up to my self imposed 7000km OCI.

I have a K&N filter HP1002

I have a Motorcraft FL400

Will I have any pressure issues with the K&N? The relief setting is 11 to 14 psi where the WIX equivilent i usually use is 8 - 11.

I know from other peoples experiences that the FL400 fits my application just fine. It's a little longer which I like eventhough it is the newer shorter version.

No.

The pl 10241 Purolater also looks like a match. They have always done a good job for me. FWIW -- Oldtommy

I don't know about for yours, but for my 09 Mazda the Motorcraft is my favorite filter made. Very high quality.

Motorcraft. The other costs too much for what it does.

I already bought it. The question is should I use it. Have people had negative experiences with them? Or should I use the safe Motorcraft filter?

MC filters are great filters, don't hesitate to use them.
