Mobil1 Extended Performance M1-108A vs. Wix 57002 oil filters
Your factory oil filter is the newer PE01-14-302B but the Japanese oil filter we used to get is PE01-14-302A. The reason why we can no longer get best-quality Japanese oil filter? Cost!Has anyone ever been told WHY we in the USA can not get the Japan PE01-14-302 anymore ? Like the official reason. It was the factory filter on my June 27, 2017 built CX-5.
Actually there's a newer PE01-14-302B oil filter in Japan used in 2017 CX-5. Not sure if this revised "B" version Japanese made oil filter would be available in the US?
