Filter off a 2024 Mazda CX 90 SUV. Had 6k on factory filter and factory fill.

Replaced with Safety Kleen Synthetic 0w20 DEXOS 1 GEN 3 and another Mazda filter. Looks solid.

Really?

School me on why that wouldn’t be necessary.
I'll assume there's an ADBV on the engine? There are vehicles out there that don't require ADBV on the filter b/c there's already a permanent one in the oil filter housing. That or the mounting position, from reading, really doesn't do much if it did have one.

Justin: dkryan knows why. Hence why I didn’t bite and just said “no idea”.

We all know some vehicles have bypass in block and some don’t.

Still waiting for answer to what the aftermarket filter # for this is
 
New CX 90, well excuse me. 😃 Nice. FF filter looks good. Mazda doesn't use an adbv on many of their OE filters. Primarily I think because they consider it unnecessary with filter orientation, vertical thread end/base up I'd assume. At least that's orientation of other Mazdas with no adbv on OE/OEM filter.

Thanks for c&p.
 
Mazda has actually rolled out a "Value Line" for filters that are less costly and geared towards dealership pre-paid oil change package loss leaders to cut down on the internal cost. This was is not that as the Value Line says so on the exterior somewhere.

Sorry for responding to a 16 month old comment, but the thread got dredged up, so here's some clarification (or muddying - not sure which) if anybody reads this and wonders.

The Mazda I6 places the oil filter at something very close to a perfectly flat orientation, with its axis parallel to the ground.

Which 'in my observation' is not the predominant orientation of Mazda filters in other models. And, as allowed for in my last sentence post #10. That said, it is remarkable that the no adbv design carried over to the I6. 'I' would consider it to be very much an outlier in that way.
