Looking to replace the air-filter, etc, and I hear that OEM parts are the bees knees.
Where do we get them from?

if you know the actual part #, start by searching on ebay/Amazon/Google.
https://www.amayama.com/en gets recommended a lot, but I have never tried it myself so can't vouch for them.
Need to watch out for counterfeit parts on eBay.
I use amayama for Toyota parts, they're great
Where Do You All Purchase OEM Parts for Mazda?
toyota dealership
When you really want to drive a Camry but you can only afford a 323.
People want to drive Camrys?
Yes, boring people do.
OEM? Meh. Its just another brand with a Mazda label and a surcharge. Find out what that other brand is and youll save $
How old is the car?
Most OEM filters are made by Sakura.
Don’t Tokyo roki make a heap of the Japanese oem filters?
Edit - just realised you’re talking air
Denso?
Apparently OEM air intake filter is better than a cheap one from Repco or supercheap
My mates a mechanic and he reckons ryco is sh*t
@BargainHunterJohnnyB: On what basis does he say ryco is bad? Probably the same info that says you should only use XXXX fuel.
Its a mazda, not a Ferrari.
Probably the same price as going to your local dealer, but I have used Ringwood Mazda via eBay before without issue.
partsouq for oem parts. if you're looking for simply basic air/cabin filters, buy them when automotive superstore, sparebox and alike have half price sales on sakura/wesfil/ryco etc
Try Mazda service department first. Otherwise Amayama or Partsouq. I have used both but they take ages to arrive. For Nissan parts anyways. Amayama has a branch in Mortdale Sydney if that gives you better confidence. They don't hold any stock here, it all gets delivered from overseas but at least there is a contact point locally.
OEM Mazda in Australia have an absolutely disgusting price markup. Some of the parts are easily 5x what they are in the USA.
It sucks
