Dealers around here try to sell those for $12+. Not even the Thai filters, I'm talking the value line ones.
I can even get those from from my regular dealer for under $7.

OBDII is a godsend.
(from Wiki)
1994: Motivated by a desire for a statewide emissions testing program, the CARB issues the OBD-II specification and mandates that it be adopted for all cars sold in California starting in model year 1996 (see CCR Title 13 Section 1968.1 and 40 CFR Part 86 Section 86.094).
Hey, nice entitlement and retirement benefit aside, you simply can't beat the much nicer weather there!Leave it to Commiefornia to start that.
OBD2 killed the American FD3S. Europe and Japan got to see that car until 2002 with upgrade after upgrade, but not the US because of OBD2. '95 was the last we saw of it because Mazda didn't want to water it down any further to pass our smog tests.
Yeah the MSRP for Mazda Value oil filter PE01-14-302A-MV is $5.95. Most Mazda dealers sell OEM parts at MSRP to retail but some greedy ones add 10%~25% markup to MSRP. My Mazda dealer sells OEM parts at MSRP to retail, and 20%~25% off MSRP to business accounts.
Jesus...around here that would be rears or fronts only for that price. Not both.My brakes cost me $430ish for all the parts from my dealer. Front and rear pads, Front and rear rotors. Tax included.

Every Mazda dealer can get "Standard" line of OEM maintenance parts such as 1WPE-14-302 Thai filter which is made by Denso with excellent quality. It'd be my choice of OEM oil filter after my stock of Tokyo Roki Japanese filter runs out. I'm not interested getting Mazda's "Value" line maintenance parts even though they're cheaper. Especially from your experience of using PE01-14-302A-MV Mexican filter where the quality seems to be inconsistent. Be aware though Thai filter has a bit smaller outer diameter and the "cap" oil filter wrench I use for Japanese filter wouldn't work anymore.I went to a local Mazda dealer this morning looking for an oil filter. I asked the parts guy if he had any Thailand built filters, he said yes, he usually keeps 1 or 2 around which peaked my curiosity. I asked them if they can still be ordered and he said yes, just let him know when and how many and he'd order them. It was 2 bucks more than the Value filter but they're worth it.Yeah the MSRP for Mazda Value oil filter PE01-14-302A-MV is $5.95.

Also had contact with these folks, they assure me they have the Thailand filters.
