My claims are backed up in the owners manual which states to change oil everybody 5000miles under more extreme conditions, just like I said.
I cut open an oil filter that had been used for 3000 Miles and it was dirty. We got other users on here saying the exact same thing, that these filters are small and dont have much use after 3000 Miles. I dont know how much more assertions you need regarding this manner.
Wow Mazdas oil filter is tiny. Thanks for sharing.
The filter is obviously dirty, but its not sludged up or anything although you preferably wouldnt want to keep that filter in there for any longer then 7-8k.

One thing I keep forgetting to do. I've got some super powerful magnets. Place one on my oil filter...other on oil pan.
dude. just stop.
Thanks CX-5um. So it appears the MV looks fairly robust.
My thoughts exactly. I think folks should rest assure the MV OEM filter has quality to it.
You designed that? Magneto approves!!!
I'm expecting to see your magneto design for 3 easy payments of $9.99 when i'm channel surfing at 2am soon.
Some Mazda dealers are selling aftermarket parts of questionable quality under the name of Mazda Value. They charge OEM prices for these.I just received a case of oil filters and didn't notice it was listed at 'value product'. Are these 'OK', or should I send them back. I paid 80 bucks for 12 filters and crush washers.

This’s really a fraud by a car dealer. If I were you I’d report this to Mazda North American Operations and BBB.Some Mazda dealers are selling aftermarket parts of questionable quality under the name of Mazda Value. They charge OEM prices for these.
For CX-5, the part number for Mazda genuine non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X, and Mazda Value Products non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X-MV.The reason I know this is I bought a cabin and engine air filter for self install from my Mazda dealer. I ended up getting this crud.
Honestly this’s normal for every Mazda dealer as Mazda North American Operations created this cheaper Value Products line on maintenance parts mainly for its dealers to use and let them have a way making more profit under the name of genuine OEM parts IMO.Just checked my invoice and noticed they also installed a Mazda Value oil filter with my oil change.
At least my Mazda dealer will do maintenance with more expensive non-Value-Products maintenance parts and Mazda Moly oil if you’re willing to pay the price difference. I’d imagine your Mazda dealer is willing to do the same.Needless to say, I am not at all happy. I will not return to the dealer [John Hine Mazda in San Diego] for any type of servicing.
Yes, I agree. I’d pay a little more for non-Value-Products maintenance parts (except cabin air filterFor the prices they charge I want true OEM parts. If I wanted aftermarket parts I would have gone to jiffy lube.
BTW, there seems to be a Mazda genuine non-charcoal cabin air filter with different (newer) part number KD45-61-J6X-9U which superseded KD45-61-J6X mentioned above. The packaging is different and it looks like a Value Products white paper box. It doesn’t say where is it made, and the previous KD45-61-J6X non-Value-Products cabin filter is made in Japan.For CX-5, the part number for Mazda genuine non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X, and Mazda Value Products non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X-MV.
