Oil filter Mobil or STP

PUP or PP for oil and Mopar or Mobil 1 for filter (5thgen)

I have used Mobil one synthetic on my 07 fit since 33,000km. Took the valve cover off once to adjust lash around 150, took it off at 200&230 and it looks like it was just assembled (I kid you not) - so realistically, I find the oil to be fine for my L15. Replaced my oil/filter ever 7000km (highway mostly) because it’s the cheapest maintenance if you plane to drive your car forever :)

So I have the very first year of the 2.0L Skyactiv engine in my Mazda 3 (2012). I have only used Mobile 1 alongside Mobil 1 filters. Truth is these engines are pretty solid.

The Mobil 1 m1-103a filter is the proper filter for your car. It's a high capacity filter designed for synthetic and it holds a large capacity of captured material.

i use mobil1 & OEM black filter. change it every 7000km.

I always use mobil 1 and a mobil 1 filter. The owners manual only recommends it.

Mobil1 0w20 and a Mobil1 Filter every 5k

I run M1 5w40 with an M1 filter.

I put the M1-301 on my car Monday instead of an M1-205. It's a really tight fit, especially where it barely clears a tab on the radiator.

Put some normal oil and an STP filter in it. Got it all back together, runs great. Ran around the block, noticed the oil light flashed when over 2500 RPM . Back in the drive way, let it cool down. This morning, put motor flush in, idle it for 5 minutes per instructions, and drained the oil and changed the filter. Looking at the filter, it seems collapsed. It doesn't seem horribly clogged - there is a bit of silt in the crevices, but that was expected. Is it just because of the cheap filter?
