Can anyone confirm any aftermarket oil filters that do indeed work with Skyactiv turbo engines? Lots of speculation on multiple online forum the past several years without any real results/experience. Most stick with the OEM turbo specific filters to avoid issues and guarantee compatibility. Apparently Mazda even has a service bulletin out from a few years ago to specifically not use the regular NA oil filters on turbo models. The biggest issue is see right now are that a lot of aftermarket companies currently have their same part number oil filters listed as compatible with both NA and turbo models while OEM still lists specific oil filters for their respective engine setups.
What I do know is that the filters physically fit both NA and turbo models but have yet to confirm with any source if theyvare truely compatible. Has anyone confirmed that aftermarket listings are compatible with the turbo models when before they were only listed for NA (turbo models didn't exist until 2018 but still use the same engines). If anyone has experience or knowledge of this, please do post up.
