Hi Everyone,
Opened up a Wix 57002 oil filter.
With 42 pleats that were evenly spaced, a very small amount of excess glue nothing serious, No anti drain back valve, looks to be a well made filter.
Spec's off there web site.
Enhanced cellulose media,
By-pass valve setting 11-14 psi,
Nominal micron rating 15,
Date code: 042320AR3 043755

I have one of these on the CX-5 right now. Will be dissecting in about 3k miles.

WIX is a well-constructed filter. I use the XP version of another number.

That’s a small little guy, like the Hiflo HF202 I installed on a Kawasaki a while ago, even smaller than a PH6607 or 4967.

typical Wix, I would use it.

What’s with the click bait title on your video? Mazda doesn’t need an ADBV. But I do enjoy your videos man good job

Those small mazda filters and even more tiny filter media inside give me anxiety. I use old honda filter model ( 3593A) on my mazda. Its bypass valve setting is the closest to factory spec.

Did they change the media color ? Wix and Napa gold is know for dark orange media color

Could be that M&H changed media contracts for economies of scale reasons.
