No two air filters are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
These two cars sit in different generations — the first-generation Mazda 6 (GG/GY) ran from 2002 to 2007, while the second-generation (GH) ran from 2008 to 2012, so they use different engines and the air filters are unlikely to be interchangeable. The most reliable way to confirm is to match the engine code from your V5 against the donor car's engine code, which your breaker can do. Never assume fitment across a generation boundary without checking.
The second-generation Mazda 6 (GH) ended in 2012, and the third-generation (GJ) began in 2013, so these two cars are from different generations and the air filter is unlikely to cross over directly. Share your engine code with the breaker — it's printed on your V5 or available via a VIN check — and they can match it against the donor vehicle to be certain. Don't rely on the year alone when shopping across a generation boundary.
For the air filter, trim level makes no difference — what matters is the engine code, not whether the car was badged S, SE, Sport, or TS. As long as the engine codes match, the filter will be the same part regardless of trim. Your breaker will just need your engine code to confirm the right unit.
Yes, fuel type matters — petrol and diesel engines on the Mazda 6 use different air filter housings and filter elements, so a diesel filter will not fit a petrol engine and vice versa. Within each fuel type there are also different engine sizes and codes (for example, the 2.0 petrol and the 2.2 diesel are entirely different units), so always supply your exact engine code to the breaker rather than just stating petrol or diesel.
Body style has no bearing on the air filter — the filter is determined entirely by the engine fitted, not by whether the car is a saloon, hatchback, or estate (Tourer). Give the breaker your engine code from your V5 and they will find the correct filter regardless of body style.
The third-generation Mazda 6 (GJ) ran from 2013 onwards and received a facelift around 2015-2016, but the core engine lineup carried over, so in many cases the air filter will be the same across the facelift boundary. That said, confirm with the breaker by providing your engine code, as ancillary or housing changes can occasionally occur mid-production and are best verified against your specific registration rather than assumed.
