All should be correct filters. If you are saying the threads are too small on the Wix and Mobil1 then I cant say bad packaging. Perhaps a side by side photo of the old filter and new filter(s).

Maybe, unless you are having trouble seeing.

This is proof that the OEM parts are always the BEST!

If not the best then at least they fit correctly.

We shouldn’t list Mobil 1 M1-108A as a correct oil filter for SkyActiv-G 2.5L, and even 2.5T as suggested on Mobil website. Principle applications of Mobil 1 M1-108A oil filter listed on Mobil website are Hyundai, Kia (1994-10), Infiniti, Nissan (1995-16), Mazda (1990-08, 2011-16), Subaru (2004-15) (Mazda B6Y1-14-302, Subaru 15208-KA010), yet M1-108A is listed for SkyActiv-G 2.5L and 2.5T for all CX-5’s up to 2020 MY. We know 2.5L and 2.5T use different OEM oil filters. And Mazda part no. B6Y1-14-302 is an old OEM oil filter used on earlier Mazda2. In addition, Mazda had sent out a memo a while ago that B6Y1-14-302(A) can’t be used on SkyActiv-G engines.

They do not make their filters. That is why.

Also aftermarket parts manufactures usually use one-size-fit-all attitude to save their cost. They don’t really care the products really meet all specifications of original OEM parts, as long as they fit.

I'm running the Mobil M1-108A filter. Comparing to Mazda filter, I recollect there is only about 2 PSI difference in bypass pressures and the Mobil 1 has finer filtration. In past cars, I've seen 80-100 psi oil pressures with really cold oil and winding it out, so 2 PSI is moot. Have to remember that bypass is going to occur in cold weather at startup with either filter, and once warmed, the flow is through the filter so the bypass is out of the picture at this point anyway. Are there really any other differences that would require the use of a Mazda filter.

In addition to Hyundai、Kia、Infiniti、Nissan、Subaru, Mobil says the principle application of Mobil 1 M1-108A oil filter is also for Mazda (1990-08, 2011-16), and equivalent to Mazda OEM B6Y1-14-302; and Mazda issued a memo not to use B6Y1-14-302(A) on SkyActiv-G due to the reasons stated in there. The choice is yours.
That 108a filter has been around for a long time - it's listed as the recommended model for a 2004 Subaru I own. As you said, the OEM and aftermarket filters sometimes have different bypass pressures, but if it really is only 2psi different from the OEM it's probably fine. In the case of the Subaru however, the bypass pressure of the OEM part is double, so it's not quite an exact match but they list it as the replacement anyway.
Thanks yrwei. I wonder what this mysterious "difference in internal construction" that Mazda alludes to really is, unless it just has a lower flow rating. In a compact filter this size there is certainly a balance between flow and filtration and it looks like Mazda chooses flow over filtration judging by the rather average micron rating of their filters. I was trying to improve on that with the Mobil 1.

For specifications there’s no information on OEM oil filters. We can use Wix 57002 which is custom made for Mazda SkyActiv-G engines and the specs should be similar to OEM PE01-14-302A. Wix 51365 which is equivalent to Mazda older OEM oil filter B6Y1-14-302A mentioned in Mazda’s memo and the specs should be similar too. The comparison of these 2 Wix oil filters can be seen here:
Oil filter specs?
On nominal micron rating Wix 57002 is 15; and Wix 51365 is 21.
And here’s a long discussion on oil filters:

Here are different oil filters listed for some Mazda vehicles:
OEM:
Mazda2 1.5L - B6Y1-14-302A
Mazda CX-5 2.5L - PE01-14-302A / 1WPE-14-302 / PE01-14-302A-MV
Mazda CX-9 / CX-5 2.5T - PY8W-14-302 / 1WPY-14-302
FRAM Ultra Synthetic:
Mazda2 1.5L - XG6607
Mazda CX-5 2.5L - XG6607
Mazda CX-9 / CX-5 2.5T - XG6607
Mobil 1 Extended Performance:
Mazda2 1.5L - M1-108 / M1-108A
Mazda CX-5 2.5L - M1-108 / M1-108A
Mazda CX-9 / CX-5 2.5T - M1-108 / M1-108A
Obviously both FRAM and Mobil 1 oil filters are one-size-fit-all while Mazda OEM oil filters have different specs for different engine requirements.
OEM:
Mazda2 1.5L - B6Y1-14-302A
Mazda CX-5 2.5L - PE01-14-302A / 1WPE-14-302 / PE01-14-302A-MV
Mazda CX-9 / CX-5 2.5T - PY8W-14-302 / 1WPY-14-302
FRAM Ultra Synthetic:

Isn't the correct filter for the second gen 2017+ CX-5 2.5 NA. The oem PE01-14-302B. NOT "A" from Japan?
