Features

  • Experience an Obvious Difference: Whether you are noticing a delay in acceleration, less than average gas mileage or own a higher mileage vehicle, our Max Thrust engine air filters will provide a clear and cost effective upgrade over stock performance
  • Trap 2X Dirt vs. Standard Air Filters: Our unique Hex-D pleat design creates maximum holding capacity for trapping unwanted dirt and debris without compromising airflow like standard air filters thanks to multiple layers of progressively finer filter media that allows air to flow freely even when the filter is dirty
  • Increased Power and Mileage up to 15K Miles: Deficient airflow can cause your engine to work twice as hard to suck in the minimum amount of air it needs to perform regularly, resulting in poorer gas mileage and lower power efficiency; Max Thrust air filters are designed to give your engine a break by delivering as much clean air as it needs to perform optimally up to 15K miles

  • Does the job at a decent price
I find it hard to know which of the many air filters (that fit my vehicle) is best to buy. It's not like I can tell each time I drive my vehicle whether it is doing a fair or an excellent job. Hopefully (for my engine's sake), I made a good choice. When it comes time to replace it again, I'm not sure how I will know whether the filter turned out to be the right choice. The filter seemed to be made well, as far as I could tell. My only slight concern was that the gasket (looked like weatherstripping) seemed a bit deformed in at least one spot, but I doubt it was enough to make any difference in performance. One of the features I am asked to rate is "Easy to install". While I didn't find the filter very easy to install, that is Mazda's doing, not the filter manufacturer's. I found it easy to open the filter enclosure and swap out the filters, but kind of a pain to get the enclosure back in place precisely so that the cover would snap back in place. But dealing with the filter went fine. I see no reason to keep me from buying it again. ... show more

This product delivers and after replacing from the old filter, my mpg really improved. I have 2015 Mazda 3 and this one fits and works well.

  • Great filters!
I’ve been using these for the past 25k miles and really like them. I’ve noticed better mpg performance than OEM yet they’re technically filtering slightly better also. Good buy

  • Does not fit 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve 2.5T
This filter (MT-259) does not fit the 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve 2.5T as indicated on the Amazon site. See picture, The filter on the right is the original, the one on the left is the Spear Head MT-259. It clearly is not the right filter. Unfortunately for me I waited too long to try to put it in the car, and now I can't return it. --- UPDATE --- I upgraded to 4 stars based on the sellers rapid response. They promptly refunded my money, which I really appreciate. They do stand behind their product. Good seller. ... show more

  • Great Price, Easy Installation
This was my first time ordering and attempting to install an engine air filter by myself for my 2016 Mazda CX-5. Amazon made it really easy to find the right filter with the Amazon Garage tool. I chose this filter over others based on the amount of positive reviews and the inexpensive price point. After a couple of YouTube tutorials, I popped the hood and opened up the engine filter cover. The Spearhead filter fit perfectly in place and was so easy to put in. Looking forward to driving and monitoring the gas mileage over the next few weeks see what differences I notice with this brand of air filter. ... show more

  • Great filter!
Excellent filter. Easy to install and fits well. 1 year after installing this, still no issues, car is still running well, and the filter is still intact when I checked on it. Overall great filter!
