Mazda PY8W-14-302A-MV C&P

[Lonzbera]

Off a 2024 Mazda 3 HB 2.5T for 6months~/1,605 miles. Currently sitting at 3100 miles. Used with whatever fill MZDS-YN-5W30-BK is.

Same exact oil & filter went back in.
This is just from what I see visually I have no real data to back this up but this filter looks vastly inferior to the factory Tokyo Roki filter.

Random green die spot, blue line running across the pleats, on the interior of the filter media. A metal flake here & there.

Good breakdown thanks
Would just buying the Supertech version of this filter be any less since it might be the same Champ?

It’s made by first brands. Not inferior in any way. GM uses same design oil filter. Looks decent.

Thanks. Appears Champ made to me.

The "green streak" on the media is signature Champ.... Have always wondered why exactly they do that.

If you like to buy them cheap : https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4368405&cc=3454862&pt=5340&jsn=11345 or the better version with silicone adbv https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11192601&cc=3454862&pt=5340&jsn=11350

I don’t see a supertech for this vehicle. From the dealer the oil filter was about $6 if I remember.

Hmm so other C&P on these show an adbv, the Mazda filters don’t have adbv in them afik. Any trouble there?

I don't know.. I guess Mazda specs them to Champ without the adbv because the filter sits upside down ??.. Many cars have filters that sit upside down but still have an adbv.

and here is the Supertech fantastic was referring to: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Te...-NISSAN-ALTIMA-2002-2023-HONDA-CR-V/506906164

Colored marks on filter media are indication of shift or assembly line at the factory.

If Champ and Denso had a baby this would be it

The SuperTech ST6607 has the bypass to match the non-Turbo Mazda Skyactiv engines. It appears identical to PE01-14-302B-MV - same blue bypass and e-core construction. The Skyactiv turbo MV filter in OP uses the yellow bypass.

ST filter also has ADBV present unlike the Mazda branded filter.

A little tighter spacing in that inner plastic tube would give a lot warmer fuzzy feeling.
