Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / June 2006I took the plunge
Last evening, I brought home a 2006 Miata Sport, six-speed manual, Nordic Green, with the suspension package. I realize it's not going to be as quick as a white one, but now that the NC State Highway Patrol has brought BMW motorcycles up here to the area for patrol duty, I'm sure it'll be quick _enough_. Besides, I'm hoping the green will blend in with the foliage and maybe the cops won't see me. I plan to do my first oil change at around 500 miles. Is there any advantage to using OEM filters or will an aftermarket like a Wix or Purolator suffice? > I plan to do my first oil change at around 500 miles.

I can't suggest strongly enough that you allow the dealer to service your vehicle while it's under warranty, it saves any argument/discussion if there is a problem. On NA and NB miatas the OEM filters seemed to be considered to be as good as any and better than most aftermarket brands. I doubt all the comparisons have yet been done on the NC but I would think it would be cheap insurance to stick with OEM. Chris 99BBB >> I plan to do my first oil change at around 500 miles.

Thanks, Chris! For my 500 mile change, I used a Bosch filter since I couldn't get an OEM on the weekend. First thing Monday morning, though, I drove to Asheville to my closest Mazda dealer and picked up a half dozen OEMs. > On NA and NB miatas the OEM filters seemed to be considered to be as good > as any and better than most aftermarket brands.
