Does Autozone or someone make a filter wrench to remove the filter on the M5? Also is there a spin-on of some kind to replace the canister type on the M5? Thanks for your help.

 

I'm not really sure if autozone has a mazda oil filter wrench.. I'll have it verified as soon as I get the info.. i'll post it here.. anyways, have you search online for some info about it.. it might help..

 

You can very easily converter your cartridge style filter set up to a spin-on kq4na. You would simply replace the oil filter adapter housing on your engine with one from a 2.0l engine that is used in the 3. It is a direct fit and even uses the same gasket part number. You would then be able to use the spin-on filter
LF10-14-302.
Part number for the spin on housing is L301-14-311 and new gasket is an LF01-14-342. Parts retail for $36.45 and $5.83 respectively. Whole job can be easily completed in 1/2 hour
