This listing describes an Aftermarket replacement for the Engine Air Filter, identified by the part number LF50-13-Z40A-C. This part number cross-references the Mazda Original Equipment (OE) number LF50-13-Z40A. The suffix "-C" indicates that this is a non-OE, aftermarket part, commonly manufactured in China, and marketed as a budget alternative for routine vehicle maintenance.
This filter is a necessary service component for the Mazda 3 (2.0L) and Mazda 5 (2.0L) models and is designed to fit the air box housing of the 2.0L MZR engine. OE specifications suggest the filter dimensions are approximately $276 \text{ mm} \times 187 \text{ mm} \times 53 \text{ mm}$.
Since this part is a CHINA PART:
Affordability: This option is typically the most economical choice for routine filter replacement, offering significant savings compared to Genuine Mazda parts.
Fitment: The filter is manufactured using the OE part's dimensions to ensure it fits correctly and seals within the air box housing.
Consideration: While suitable for budget-conscious replacement, the filtration media quality (efficiency and dust-holding capacity) and the durability of the sealing material in budget-tier aftermarket filters may vary compared to premium or Genuine filters. For optimal engine performance and MAF sensor health, consistent airflow and high filtration efficiency are important.
Regular replacement of the air filter is essential maintenance to:
Engine Health: Preventing abrasive wear on internal engine components.
Performance: Maintaining peak engine output and minimizing fuel consumption.
