Picked up 3 new oil filters from Mazda in my city, they look good and to follow proper guidelines inregards to warranty by using them. Did the oil change today, during so i noticed the old filter was made in Japan. I said to my self nice, good quailty filter, then proceed to notice the new filter from Mazda deal is made in Thailand???? Wth! Whats your thoughts on this??

Personally I don't have any concerns about the filter being made in Thailand. My ('15) 20HP Suzuki outboard motor is made in Thailand (all Suzuki's less than 40HP have been made there since '99) and build quality seems top notch.
 
If it does bother you, try ordering the same part number that is written on your old filter.
