Oil filter Wix or OEM Mazda

I don't know about a lot of different oil filter manufacturers but a wix and Napa are the same and a good quality filter. Wix makes a lot of different brands and I think they are the best.

I use a wix filter that has a filter key that attaches to my ratchet. Never get oiled up all!

I bought a 12 pack of wix for my 8th gen, never had a problem and I’ve used 11 of them so far.

Im a wix guy personally and have read good things about them in the past. Ive subjected my car to a couple dozen track events with temps exceeding 280 degrees and have Blackstone Lab reports that have come back fine and "within spec" for their analysis. This is enough for me to keep using them.

I have been using exclusively Wix filters on my oil changes for a couple years. I have had my oil analyzed multiple times on multiple engines, always a clean report. I'll stick with Wix.

210k miles on my 03 RSX-s I use Penzoil 5w30 and Wix filters.

Wix 57002 is my go to. I order in bulk from rock auto along with oil and air filter filters for all of my cars to save on shipping. Done two used oil analysis using the oil life monitor so these were about 7500 mile runs and the numbers looks great. The insoluble, which is what oil filters are supposed to filter out were very very low 1-2ppm. I’m happy.

I use WIX filters that are the XP version in my wife's 2013 Sonata, and change around 3-4K miles. Like younsaid donuse cheap filters, some are made poorly.

So every couple of years I do a mass oil filter purchase for my evo. I've always bought Wix oil filters, and every single time I order from Rockauto, they come in a black box, with an original black Wix body. Well this time, I just got some white NAPA ProSelect filters instead of actual Wix ones. From my research the Proselect is not on the same level as the Wix filters.

Had a WIX 57312 instead of a Motorcraft EC-781. So yeah, it fit but it was allowing oil to bypass the filter completely.
