Mazda Oil Filter questions

[bojo]

Hi everyone,

I've learned a lot on this forum, and others, but this one is especially good. So thank you all for your posts!

One of the things i learned is how important an oil filter is. Until I got my 2025 Mazda CX5, I never really gave much thought about a filter. Always heard the name ones and just got those. But its interesting after digging deeper, that the filters I used to use weren't as good as I thought.

A lot of people seem to like these genuine Mazda oil filters. Pictured here is the one made in Japan. I also have the one made in Thailand, which i will likely use eventually, but after reading a lot, and even holding them, the japan one seems to be a. bit better quality. But the one from Thailand is definitely good too.

Anyway, I also like how they seal the hole with plastic to prevent contaminants from entering. I know, its a little thing, but is a lot of the little things why i love my Mazda!

I'm curious as to what oil filter you use on your Mazda CX 5 and why. Have you used this particular filter, why or why not?

Thanks

I use the Thai filter. Availability is much easier than the Tokyo Roki

I have used mostly non Mazda filters. The Mazda filters that I have used are made in Thailand. I like oil filters with large inlet holes, large filter media, and holes instead of louvers on the inner tube.

I can only buy the Thailand oem from local dealers and that is what I used for 20+ oil changes so far. No complaints.
