One of the key reasons why people choose Mazda is because of their road civility. They offer first-rate highway acceleration and they hold the corners well and with very little sway. The ride is tranquil and transmits confidence over any road condition. Beginning in 2011 they added yet another good motive to buy Mazda - SkyActiv.
K&N Replacement Air Filter Front for Mazda3 and Mazda5
Currently, 95% of the world uses gasoline or diesel combustion engines, and by 2020, 90% still will. This is why Mazda developed SkyActiv, a series of technologies designed to increase both fuel efficiency, and engine output. The SkyActiv-G 2.0 engine was first available in North America on the 2012 Mazda3, and it hit the market internationally a year before in both the Mazda3 and Mazda5 models. The engine is an engineering marvel that produces more low/mid-range torque and fewer emissions while consuming less fuel.
The revolutionary new engine then required the ultimate transmission to get that precious energy to the wheels. Mazda studied every modern transmission made and employed the best features of each to come up with the SkyActiv -Drive six-speed automatic transmission. It shifts smoothly for steady acceleration and quickly for the connected feel of a manual transmission but with far greater efficiency.
K&N Mazda3 and Mazda5 Air Filter Box
And now by merely upgrading the existing air filter on the Mazda 2.0-liter engine (SkyActiv and standard) with a K&N 33-2999 high-flow, air filter, you can improve performance even further. The 33-2999 high performance air filter is designed to simply drop into existing factory air box, without any modifications required. By installing this well made high flow air filter, you can increase both horsepower and torque, while still protecting the engine with excellent filtration.
The K&N 33-2999 reusable air filter will be the only air filter you'll ever need to purchase for your Mazda - K&N supports that promise with their renowned Million Mile Limited Warranty. Depending on your driving environment, servicing intervals can go up to 50,000 miles before maintenance is necessary, and cleaning the filter is as easy as following the four simple steps on a K&N Recharger Kit (part no. 99-5050).
The K&N 33-2999 High Flow Air Filter will fit the following applications:
2014 Mazda 5 2.0L L4

Michael Self wins third NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race in a row at Lebanon I-44 Speedway
Michael Self won his third NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race in a row, but it didn't come without controversy.
Self made a pass for the lead, going three-wide with Cameron Hayley and Greg Pursley, with two laps to go at Lebanon I-44 Speedway in Missouri. Hayley and Pursley were forced up the race track and spun out. The crash set up a green-white-checkered flag finish and knocked Hayley and Pursley, who combined to lead 147 laps of the Toyota/G-Oil 150, out of contention.

Self pulled away from Daryl Hall and Dylan Lupton to win the race. Hayley wound up in seventh place. Pursley crossed the finish line in ninth place.
"It's tight. It's short-track racing. You get into each other, you beat and bang," Self said. "I got taken out there with about 25 to go and we had to overcome it. It's how short track racing goes."
Self's three-race winning streak is the first since Pursley won three races in a row in 2011. Self has won races at Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota, a road course, Iowa Speedway and Lebanon I-44 Speedway, a 3/8-mile short track.
"Three in a row, can't complain with that," Self said. "Road course, speedway and a short track, it's pretty unbelievable for us. First time out here to I-44 Speedway, and it couldn't have been a more eventful one, I don't think."
It was the sixth victory in the past 15 races for Self. The race was second in three days for the K&N Pro Series West drivers and teams. Self became the first driver since Harry Jefferson to win West Series races on the same weekend since 1979.

Hayley won the pole and led the first lap of the race. Pursley, who started on the front row with Hayley, took over the lead on lap 2 and held it for 14 laps. Hayley and Pursley swapped the lead six times before the three-wide pass by Self on lap 147.
Self won the race after a restart on lap 151 staying out front for the entire green-white-checkered flag finish.
"When you're doing a restart with five to go, you go for it, you give everything you can and you take every single inch," Self said. "Any guy out there is going to do the same thing. Anyone who's going to be in a position to get taken out is going to be mad and anyone who's going to be in the winning position is going to be happy."
Harr, who competed and finished 24th in the NASCAR Nationwide race at Iowa Speedway earlier in the day, finished in the top five for the second time in five K&N Pro Series West Series races this season.
"I'll take it. After 10 years, I'll take a second place," Harr said. "My dad Carl has been a big part of my life and my racing. Just to get on the podium in the West Series is so cool. He's going to enjoy this night as much as I am for sure."
Lupton, a rookie, posted his second top-five finish of the season.
"It was a great night," Lupton said. "The car was set up absolutely perfect. I just blew it on restarts all night long. Inside or outside, it did not matter. I could not get going. A third-place finish tonight is not something to hang our heads down on. We've been working really hard, so I'm excited to come out of here with a solid top-five finish."
Self took over the lead in the K&N Pro Series West standings. He has a one-point advantage over Derek Thorn, who was fourth at Lebanon.
Hayley dropped into third place in the K&N Pro Series West standings, eight points behind Self. Pursley is in fourth place in the K&N Pro Series West standings, nine points out of first.
The next race in the K&N Pro Series West is the Carneros 200 at Sonoma Raceway in California on June 22.

NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway puts Michael Self in victory lane
In seven NASCAR K&N Pro Series races at Iowa Speedway, no driver from the West Series has won. Until now.
Apparently the eighth time was the charm as Michael Self won the Casey's General Store 150 and became the first driver from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West to win outright at Iowa Speedway. The race pits the drivers and teams from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West and East. An East Series driver won the previous seven races.
Michael Self takes the checkered flag at NASCAR K&N Pro Series race at Iowa Speedway
Self was the highest finishing driver from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West in the race at Iowa Speedway in November. He was ninth overall, but credited with a victory as the highest finishing driver from the West Series.
This time there was no qualification for the victory. Self led a race-high 83 laps in a race that went 159 laps because of cautions and crashes.
He took the lead from Brett Moffitt on lap 87 and held it for the final 73 laps of the race.
"To come to Iowa Speedway and perform like this in front of these fans, the West win for us last year was big," said Self, a 22-year-old from Park City, Utah. "To win overall, I couldn't believe it. I haven't been this excited over a win, a big night for us."
Anderson Bowen, a 15-year-old rookie making his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series start, won the pole. He led the first nine laps of the race before falling back and finishing in 14th place.
Another rookie, Cole Custer, took the lead from Bowen on lap 10 and was out front for 18 laps.
The serious contenders worked their way to the front with Moffitt taking the lead on lap 29. He was the leader for 59 laps before giving way to Self.

Moffitt and Self swapped time leading the race until lap 87 when Self took the lead for good.
Self won his second NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race in a row and has won five times in the past 14 races.
"It was such a good car," Self said. "And such a big thanks to (crew chief) Steve Portenga and the Golden Gate Racing team for putting that car together."
Dylan Kwasniewski finished second and was the highest finishing driver from the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. He was credited with a victory and won his second race of the season. He was the winner in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season opener at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"We just rallied back," Kwasniewski said. "We were trying hard to beat Michael out there, but he was really good. ... It was fun running with Brett. It was a great race."
Moffitt crossed the finish line in third place, his fourth top-five finish in six NASCAR K&N Pro Series East races.
"I should feel really good about it, but we really start needing to get wins here," said Moffitt. "It's just really frustrating when we had a decent race car here the first half. We just got really tight and didn't adjust enough. We need to get on our game there."
Moffitt leads the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East standings by five points over Kwasniewski despite not having a win in the series yet.
Self was six points behind Derek Thorn for the lead in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West standings after the Iowa Speedway race. Thorn took a big hit in the standings with an 18th place finish. But he was the fifth-place finisher among NASCAR K&N Pro Series West drivers.
The next NASCAR K&N Pro Series West race is the Toyota/G-Oil 150 at Lebanon I-44 Speedway on June 9.
The next NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race is at Langley Speedway on June 22.

When the 2013 season opener was deemed over, Michael Jordan Motorsports had managed to earn four top-five finishes, setting a standard fro the remainder of the season.
When the AMA Superbike season rolled to a close last year, team Michael Jordan Motorsports had made a showing. Danny Eslick, had experienced a great rookie season. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native earned several podium finishes, and was ranked eighth place in the championship.
Teammate, Roger Hayden, experienced a couple of firsts in 2012. In fact, the rider got a taste of the excitement of his first Superbike win and his first Superbike pole position. The rider raced his way to the podium 11 times and finished the season third in the points race.
Michael Jordan Motorsports riders, Danny Eslick and Roger Hayden are looking forward to a successful season in 2013.
With an impressive season behind them, the two riders and their team embarked upon the 2013 season with high aspirations. When the season opener was recently deemed over, the team had proved pretty effective at accomplishing their goals. They missed placing first by a few marks. However, four top-five finishes were definitely a testimony to their ability to ride. It also prove they were a force to be reckoned with throughout the remainder of their scheduled events.
Rolling into Elkart Lake, Wisconsin, the team was anxious to get the first "Road America" race of 2013 underway. "They were ready to get the season going," recalled Michael Jordan Motorsport Technical manager, Richie Alexander.
"It was a long break since Daytona,"he continued. "Basically, the season gets going now. The team tested a few weeks prior to the race, so the riders were feeling ready.
And feeling ready they were. In fact the riders wasted no time putting themselves in position for success. At the events end, Hayden had managed to earn a third and a fifth place finish. When the event was deemed over, his teammate, had made a showing as well. Eslick was positioned in fifth place both times at the waving of the checkered flag.
Although success in 2012 had a positive impact on their performances during the recent opening event, one can rest assured that plenty of hard work and dedication throughout the off-season also played a role in their top-five performances.
"The team prepared by testing and continuing to make a better bike," ensured Alexander. "We are on the same machine for four years now. Our team is a bit different from the norm, because we represent the National Guard and Michael Jordan Motorsports. The team really bonds well, especially when we have all of the service men and women around."
When asked the key to success, the Technical Manager explained, "The fact that we have been able to bring in outside sponsorship to the sport. I feel like the team is really good for the sport. We are really the only ones out there bringing in the big outside sponsors. The sport needs more to follow."
Looking back at the race, Alexander shared, "The outcome was okay. We also want better results if were not winning." That in mind, the team is acutely aware of the importance of keeping their bikes maintained to the jot and tiddle.
Referring to following a stringent maintenance regiment, Alexander said, "Maintenance is extremely important. At the top, you cannot afford for any failures."
That in mind, each and every member of the Michael Jordan Motorsports team is a strong advocate of proper filtering. In fact, they depend upon K&N products to ensure a proper air and oil flow is achieved while keeping the internal components of their engines contaminant free.
"The team uses the K&N race air filters and oil filters," Alexander explained. "We have always had great success with K&N products. They perform really well on the Dyno, which translates to the Track!"
With plenty of confidence on their rider's abilities and knowing they are using the best products on the market, Michael Jordan Motorsports is looking forward to what lie in store for the remainder of 2013. "We just need to continue or progress and build on rider confidence," ensured Alexander. When asked what fans can expect throughout the remainder of the season, he concluded, "Some good ole' racing and lots of excitement with Danny and Roger."
