Are you asking if the Fram CORE with an ADBV is OK to use in a Skyactiv engine?....if so... I've used several Fram 6607's and even (oversized) 7317's without issues in our CX-30.

I have used Micro Gard Select (w/ ADBV) on both of my current Mazda's and numerous previously owned ones. Lately, I've been finding good deals for genuine Mazda Filters on-line.
For my friend's CX-5 I maintain.. I found it interesting that Mazda doesn't have the ADBV at all on their oil filters. I wondered if it's a flow issue or it's because the filter is already mounted vertically as to not need one.

That's basically what I read across the internet that by design the ADBV is not needed and there could be potential issues with the ADBV during a cold start either restricting flow or getting torn/ripped caused by the SkyActive higher compression.
