Wow Mazdas oil filter is tiny. Thanks for sharing.
The filter is obviously dirty, but its not sludged up or anything although you preferably wouldnt want to keep that filter in there for any longer then 7-8k.

Thanks CX-5um. So it appears the MV looks fairly robust.

My thoughts exactly. I think folks should rest assure the MV OEM filter has quality to it.
You designed that? Magneto approves!!!
Look at post #12 https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=534688
A guy cut open a Mazda OEM (toyo roki) filter and compared to a Purolator filter. The Purolator had damage. The Mazda looked very uniform. Apparently according to BITOG forums the Purolators are very hit and miss.
After finishing my Wix stock I may revert back to OEM Mazda filters myself. Even if they are MV.

Yea, At first oil change I'm going to try it out. It's 3D printed in ABS, but I'm not sure if ABS will have the necessary thermal properties to deal with the oil temp.

Some Mazda dealers are selling aftermarket parts of questionable quality under the name of Mazda Value. They charge OEM prices for these.
The reason I know this is I bought a cabin and engine air filter for self install from my Mazda dealer. I ended up getting this crud.
Just checked my invoice and noticed they also installed a Mazda Value oil filter with my oil change.
Needless to say, I am not at all happy. I will not return to the dealer [John Hine Mazda in San Diego] for any type of servicing.
For the prices they charge I want true OEM parts. If I wanted aftermarket parts I would have gone to jiffy lube.

This’s really a fraud by a car dealer. If I were you I’d report this to Mazda North American Operations and BBB.
For CX-5, the part number for Mazda genuine non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X, and Mazda Value Products non-charcoal cabin filter is KD45-61-J6X-MV.
For CX-5 2.5L the part number for Mazda genuine engine air filter is PE07-13-3A0A, and Mazda Value Products engine air filter is PE07-13-3A0A-MV. Actually my Mazda dealer doesn’t even carry Value Products engine air filter PE07-13-3A0A-MV which makes me believe there’s no such product until I searched online.
So did you get “counterfeit” Mazda Value Products filters with MV part number printed on the packaging and invoice, or did you get some aftermarket brand filters with totally different part numbers?
Honestly this’s normal for every Mazda dealer as Mazda North American Operations created this cheaper Value Products line on maintenance parts mainly for its dealers to use and let them have a way making more profit under the name of genuine OEM parts IMO.
At least my Mazda dealer will do maintenance with more expensive non-Value-Products maintenance parts and Mazda Moly oil if you’re willing to pay the price difference. I’d imagine your Mazda dealer is willing to do the same.
Yes, I agree. I’d pay a little more for non-Value-Products maintenance parts (except cabin air filter
) because I want better genuine OEM quality. This whole Value-Products maintenance parts line is ridiculous to me. Only Mazda (actually MNAO) is doing this among all car manufactures in the US which confuses too many Mazda car owners!

BTW, there seems to be a Mazda genuine non-charcoal cabin air filter with different (newer) part number KD45-61-J6X-9U which superseded KD45-61-J6X mentioned above. The packaging is different and it looks like a Value Products white paper box. It doesn’t say where is it made, and the previous KD45-61-J6X non-Value-Products cabin filter is made in Japan.

I think this is marketing to benefit the dealers. If they do the replacement work they can install and charge for the higher priced item, but parts department can sell the lower priced product for people who are cost sensitive or independent mechanic shops...
