Post subject:  Oil filters.
Have today changed the oil fiter on my 323F (BA) 1.8, nothing of note there I here you say but, I changed the oil 'n' filters only a few weeks back. But all last week I noticed the oil light coming on just for a moment after start up :? . So after getting no price on a filter from my main Mazda dealer :x I went to Halfords and bought a Champion filter and fitted that. Now the old filter (weeks old) was completley dry of oil, nothing, empty, not a drip. Relief valve in the middle standing up nice and proud as it shouldn't. This filter is a 'Blue Print', import manufactued by the same people who make filters for Mazda and I trusted it but its let me down :cry: . Think I'll be stoppin with either champion or Mazda branded stuff in the future.
In 20 plus years of driving and car DIY I ain't never had this happen to me. No damge done, just my pride. New filter so far so good. :D What you guys think :?:

LOL you know it's got oil in Duffman. I think whats happened is the relief valve has jammed open allowing the oil to run back into the sump. So on start up it's been like fitting a new filter every time. Tomorrow me and the wife are back to Bromsgrove motor factors to complain, get me meoney back (£3.50) and adbvise of a possible faulty batch of filters. :)

That reminds me - last time I did a service, I went to my local Mazda dealer and asked them for an Astina oil filter with a relief (non-return) valve and they told me there was no such thing, so I ended up buying a normal GUD from the local car spares shop. I suppose that's why Edith rattles a bit for the first few seconds when I start her up in the morning. Doesn't appear to cause any ill effects, mind you ...

Well got me money back. The guy said that they'd had a couple returned over 2 months and is was probably a manufacturing fault. No harm done but the motor factors are now well aware of a possible problem.
