The Mazda MPV Oil Filter is crucial as it keeps the engine oil clean to ensure that the V6 in the minivan can operate smoothly without wear and tear. Through the application of hot pressurized lubricant, a tight pack of filter media composed of cellulose, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both is applied over the filter to ensure that dirt, metal flakes, and sludge are filtered without restricting the flow of oil, which can then circulate freely over thousands of miles. This is the design of an Oil Filter that balances efficiency and good oil flow rates. The majority of Mazda engines are full-flow, i.e., all the oil leading to the bearings goes through the filter, and there is an internal pressure relief valve which opens when the oil thickens on a winter morning, so that lubrication does not cease. The previous generations applied a spin-on canister, which was disposable, but subsequent model years switched to a replaceable cartridge that slides into a reusable housing, reducing waste and allowing a more convenient view of the element's condition during service. The two styles both have the same 99 percent efficiency goal, but the cartridge generally has a better contaminant capacity because its pleated surface can be much larger than that allowed by the metal can. Changing the Oil Filter at the recommended interval in the Mazda maintenance manual ensures that the factory filter manages the output of the oil pump without rupturing or starving the crankshaft. This minor yet essential Mazda component should be replaced regularly to safeguard horsepower, enhance fuel efficiency, and increase the overall life of every MPV on the road.
