there is also a noticeable SIZE difference between the 1WPE-14-302 and the PE01-14-302A-MV .
The 302MA is of a larger diameter, by about 2mm. Just changed the oil and replaced a "302A-MV" Mexico filter with a "302" Thailand filter and there is a definite size difference.
I can see just the outer part of the oil filter mating flange with the "302" filter installed. The flange was not visible with the "302-MV" installed. The gasket is the biggest different between the two and the thin o-ring on the "14-302" is much smaller than the flat gasket on the "302A".
I had plans on running my new filter for 7500 miles, but now I'm rethinking that decision.
I guess that is what I get for ordering off of Amazon. Lesson learned. Parts counter next time or the WIX.

I'm done trying to source affordable Thailand filter. I just went with Wix. If you can find the Thailand filters for $7ish bucks, great, if not, Wix can be found for what...$9ish? at O'Reilly pretty easily.

Ask the dealer if they have the Thailand filters and for how much. If they are around $7ish, I'd totally go that route.
Thailand filters aplenty. I bought a few from Priority Mazda. You should also be able to order them from your dealer.

Yeah my local dealer is charging like $12 for a value line filter...
Online, depends on shipping costs.

Your Mazda dealer is greedy. My Mazda dealer sells 1WPE-14-302 Thai oil filter at list, $8.25 each.
Some online sellers charge high shipping cost to compensate low prices. The price of Thai filter at Priority Mazda is $6.19 each which is 25% off the list. But the shipping is high:
1WPE-14-302 $6.19 X 5 = $30.95
Shipping to Plano, Texas = $19.77
This means the true cost for me is $10.14 each!

Yep, very greedy. And I've seen similar shipping costs to Denver, so unless Amazon gets the Thai filters again for $7ish, the Wix filters end up being the most affordable.

I believe our previous sponsor Med Center Mazda may still have the best deal for oil change kit. Just by 2 kits ($51.01 each) and get free shipping. And it comes with better 1WPE-14-302 Thai filter and Mazda moly oil.
Mazda SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY Oil Filter, Drain Plug Washer and 5 Quarts of Mazda 0w20 Moly Oil

Best deal if you want to use Mazda Moly Oil. Otherwise that is around $15-$20 more than what I spend for an oil change with a 5qt jug of Castrol Edge, a filter, and new crush washer which normally totals out at around $30-$35 for the oil change service.

I hope it's made to the same design specs as oem. If it fails because of an improper bypass design or pressure or something.. rip oil pressure.
I bought three from them and total shipping was $10. Could've ordered them from a dealer and total cost would've been about a buck cheaper.

I thought the Wix 57002 filters were built to Mazda spec for Skyactiv. At least that's what I've heard on the boards...

You*re good to go with the WIX (deadhorse
I have been killing it for the last couple years with Mobil 1. If you can find 5 quarts of their Advanced Fuel Economy or Extended Performance + filter for $33 at Advanced, you can stack that with Mobil*s $17 rebate they usually do once or twice a year. I*ve even had success ordering 2 kits online for pickup in store and stacking with their online 20% off $50+coupon (even though it is supposed to exclude oil). Started changing my mother in laws oil and stocked up 4 complete oil change kits for about $13 a piece when it was all said and done (2 kits per household).

Wix offers 2 different oil filters for recent Mazdas 4 cylinders, 57002 which is equivalent to Mazda "high-flow" OEM PE01-14-302A oil filter for SkyActiv-G and 51365 which is equivalent to OEM B6Y1-14-302A oil filter for non-SkyActiv-G; while most others use only one filter to fit both, such as Mobil 1 M1-108A. Its easy to see Wix 57002 is designed to meet the specs for our SkyActiv-G engines while others use one-size to fit all. Heres the specs for both Wix filters I posted before and we can see the differences:
But I still prefer OEM Thai filter after my stock of OEM Japanese filters runs out.
$10 at dealer. Nit sure which country of manufacturing. Will find out sat when i grab one. Considering its only $2 more than a basic fram and same peice as wix seema like a no brainer
Just to add on to my last point and to get some opinions, i've had my 2018 GT for just over 6 months and only have 2100km on it as i dont use it on a daily basis. the owners manual scheduled maintenance section states that the interval for oil changes here in canada is every 8000km or 6 months. i am planning on doing it this week to follow the warranty guidelines even though it doesnt really NEED it but just wanted to see what people thought.

I understand Mazda disallowed Flexible oil change schedule for 2016 CX-5 in Canada, is it still the case for 2018 MY?
If you cant use Flexible OCI, then you may have to follow the Fixed OCI specified in the ownees manual, just for warranty purpose although I believe changing oil at 2100 KM is too early, waste of money, and not good to our environment.
