Introducing our Spin-on Oil Filter Conversion Kit, the perfect replacement for factory-style cartridge filter housing on the Mazdaspeed6, 1st generation 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed3, pre-2011 CX-7, pre-2011 Mazda3 and Mazda5 with oil coolers. With our kit, which includes a high-quality Wix XP filter, you can effortlessly switch to a conventional spin-on filter, ensuring the longevity of your engine.
Say goodbye to messy cartridge filters and enjoy the benefits of clean oil and hassle-free maintenance. Our Spin-on Oil Filter Conversion Kit provides a simple and convenient solution that takes care of your engine's needs.
We offer two filter options with this kit. The first is a stock-size Wix XP filter, providing excellent filtration and compatibility. The second option is a taller Wix XP filter, which offers approximately 50% more filtering capacity, ensuring even greater protection for your engine. Why Wix XP filters? They are the same filters we run on our shop and personal vehicles. They offer some of the best flow and filtration on the market.
With our kit an OE gasket is included, and we use the updated Ford filter housing, which features a steel thread vs the aluminum threaded Mazda housing.
Please note: We do not recommend the Larger filter if you intend to run a spin-on oil sensor adapter, and the Larger filter may lightly contact the under tray on some vehicles. Some early cars may need the locating tab to be shortened or trimmed to fit within this adapter. We recommend trimming the tab by half (see photos below). The gasket for the oil cooler itself is not included.
Love the product and service of Damond. Y’all need to put a caution note with this product saying the pin on the oil cooler needs trimmed. Lost every bit of oil today after installing this because the alignment dowel held one edge off the oil filter house.
Hi Ryun,
We have had this noted on this very product page ever since we released this. We now have added some photos on the product page to better show this.
Amazing as always
Worked perfect no leaks no more warped plastic garbage
Very happy with kit work well even got stickers 😀
Well packed hopefully will all fit
Make sure you get the gasket for in between the oil cooler and the filter housing or else you’re gonna have a bad time when it blows out.
As described, arrived swiftly. Very trust worthy.
Easy install now don't have an oil leak.
The slot for the pin on the oil cooler is not deep enough for the pin to sit correctly and required me to cut of about 1/4" of material. Overall nice though
Great kit for those of you who can't stand the filter cartridge on the Mazdaspeeds! Installation isn't really difficult. Again this kit is great, I would love to see the updated oil cooler seal with the kit. But you can't go wrong with Damond products.
It was a little difficult to install because my cooler needed a new gasket but now that it's on my oil doesn't seem to get dark as fast and I noticed my engine tick went away. My opinion these cars needed a spin on from factory.
I love that this kit comes with the better OEM Ford filter adapter, an OEM gasket, and a high quality filter for a great price. If you're still running a cartridge filter on your Mazda, go install this! Just know that this filter adapter only works if you have a factory auxiliary oil cooler mounted on top of the adapter, otherwise your driveway is gonna get a nice oil bath.
