Does anyone know if there's a bigger size oil filter which can fit the same location without any mods for CX5? I have always put the biggest sized oil filter possible. For example - my 4-cylinder Corolla can take the Camry 6-cylinder bigger filter and have always used Camry's. It gives me substantially better filtration with the bypass not activating (i think).
There is zero benefit to running a bigger oil filter. Nada. Zilch.
That's a really good deal!
After 3 plus years of ownership, I'm very impressed with the very low cost of ownership, even when using premium quality oil like the Mazda Moly synthetic. Haven't needed spark plugs, brake pads, battery, belts or any lightbulbs or fuses yet. It's not needed a wheel alignment or headlight adjustment either. Still on the original tires from 2012 too (but only because I swap winter tires on 5 months/year). Everything on this car just keeps working without intervention except for oil changes and filters. And it barely sips any gas at all. The OEM air filter is rated to 35,000 miles!
I wish all cars were this easy/inexpensive to own. 3 out of 4 of my motorcycles cost more to own and take more of my personal time compared to the CX-5!
The OEM filter filters all the oil and it does it without plugging up between service intervals. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Trying to outsmart the engineers as to what kind of oil filtration their engine needs is a fools game.
Explain please?
All things being equal, a larger filter has two key benefits - 1) more oil capacity in the system, which helps extend useful life, and keep temperatures down, 2) more filter area means greater dirt holding capacity and therefore greater filtered flow for longer, before filter media saturation and bypass valve actuation.
The only thing that matters beyond these factors is fitment, burst strength, and most importantly bypass opening pressure value. Fitment is straight forward, burst strength is rarely much of a concern, and bypass opening pressure is often published, or can be determined by dissecting a filter.
Not sure where this logic fails. I am NOT looking at some after-market filters, same company's OEM filter, just larger size.
Depending on the oil system, a larger filter may cause a longer time between crank-over, and pressurization of the system, if the car has sat for a few days.

That's BS. The CX-5 oil filter is mounted inverted. Oil cannot drain out of it no matter how many days it sits unused. Even with a one gallon oil filter the oil system will pressurize at the exact same moment. Oil is essentially non-compressible so the delay of pressurization you claim does not exist.
