Oil filter Bosch or OEM Mazda
I’ve always used the OEM filter and Kirkland 0W-20 oil on my 2013 Skyactiv because I remember reading on the forums that due to the high compression of the engine the Mazda filter is specialized to handle that. Not sure if it’s true but no problems yet on 7.5k OCI.
Yes, the Bosch 3300 is correct for your car. I just used exactly that one for my oil change a few weeks ago.
OEM for the engine oil filter.
I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.
I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.
I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.
Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.

I do use Mazda filter rather than aftermarket.
After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
