Not really. From some Mazda released documents we can only tell the Mazda OEM SkyActiv oil filters are unique filters with high flow rate but low micron rating. The best we can do is to reference the specs from Wix 57002 filter where Wix claims it's specially made only for Mazda SkyActiv-G engines.
Here is one MNAO PDF to their US Mazda Dealers concerning genuine Oil Filter(s) installation and use for ALL SA Engines..
Mazda Dealers (in USA particularly) are also seeing stored DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes in PCM) when they use even 'other' genuine Mazda oil filters in Skyactiv engines, see pic, they look identical, but it is what is inside.
