Oil filter Wix or OEM Mazda

WIX oil filter... Best on the market without spending too much for a fancy name brand that isn't any better.

I have a F-150 with the 5.0 and I use Wix XP for filter and Mobil 1 high performance 5w20. Purrs like a kitten even at 178k.

I use a Wix filter 57002.

I don't recommend Fram filters. I like Wix filters for budget and Quality.

For example, a Wix XP filters out 99% of material, at 35 microns, however the standard Wix filter can filter out 95% of material at 23 microns. That means the "cheap" Wix filter captures materials that are approximately 35% smaller than the "expensive" filter.

Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.

Use Wix xp filters, they are metal with a rubber gasket that doesn't come off

Wix all the way…has superior filtration vs all others, as tested by Project Farm on youtube

I went through the same thing, I believe the part number that they gave you is the made in Mexico Mazda value oil filter. It worked on my 2.5 NA. Though in my opinion, the quality of the filter is subpar compared to the OEM made in Thailand filters.

my car balloons WIX filters, and it only goes as high as 120psi..
