Listing 3128252956.Any one bought/used one of these.I,m a bit wary and would buy from Rock Auto but looking at their website the US doesnt have Mazda 2/Demio.! Maybe someone can enlighten me as to if they do and under what model/ name.

That filter looks better then a F. filter if that is really what is inside that filter. With rockauto and other offshore you need to look at images and measurements.

Well it does mention that they are premium several times. Must be good right? Premium at a budget price.
I'd happily fit one to my old dunga.

Premium is just a word could also say shite as thats also just a word.

Why would you risk blowing your engine just to save $20? Some things you shouldn't go cheap on - Oil Filters and Thermostats.

It is not the price. It is the quality that is the issue. There is no substitute for doing proper research wherever you buy from!

My mechanic who is also a very good friend(and has been for the last 35 years) uses Ryco and has never had problems with them unlike the garage down the road from him who bought some xxxx filters and had 3 cars that he fitted them to have massive failures.Cost him quite a lot.!.Rock Auto seem to be approved by several here but they dont appear to stock filters for Demios 3 of which are owned by family members.These filters intrigue me as they have their details in English unlike those I,ve seen sold out of a suitcase.I may buy one and cut it in half for comparison with a Ryco.

They will have the correct filter, you are just not approaching it correctly. The Z436 is a very common filter, you need to be cross referencing that number or even better the genuine number from Mazda.
If that doesnt help I may be able to do this for you if you post the cars frame number.

Price + shipping is $10, so you might save $4 rather than buying from Supercheap etc.

If thats the case thanks, I wont bother, just that so many on here tout how cheap Rock Auto are. And my question was if anyone had used the filters from the advertiser which seem remarkably cheap when compared with SCA/repco etc

Not sure what year Demio you have, but if you look at Mazda 2011 on RockAuto they have the Mazda 2 listed (same car), its also the same engine on the 03-07 shape so same filter. Although you can get a Sakura filter from Supercheap for $9 so I'd just go there.
