For the Oil Filter, I would recommend using either the Mazda filter or the Wix/Napa Gold aftermarket, as they are specifically built to meet the Skyactive engine's specifications.
Pros: meets Skyactive engine's specifications
Vehicle:
Mazda
I use Wix oil filter with every change. Decent price and is all metal with a good filter. Does the job and has never failed on me.
Pros: decent price, good filter
For the filter, the OEM is good quality and relatively low price. If you go aftermarket, the Wix filter (also sold as NapaGold) is one of the only ones specifically designed to meet the skyactive specs.
Pros: good quality, low price

Stick with a Bosch or a Wix and your car will last forever: this is very important now that oil change intervals have gotten much longer.
Pros: car will last forever

At 23k miles I figured a cheap fix would be the cabin filter. Swapped in a Wix WP10159 charcoal filter and the smell is gone.
Pros: smell is gone
Cons: musty/old/damp smell
Mileage: 37015 km
Part number: WP10159
Mobile1 extended performance, Wix XP filters.
Pros: efficient filter
Wix has been one of the best I have seen in past years by cutting filters apart. Their pleating is most uniform and abundant plus other internal pieces such as springs, check valves, and relief valves are much high quality.
Pros: high quality, uniform pleating
I only use WIX filters on my 04XT. They’re about the only ones that have the correct bypass pressure rating off the Amazon “shelf,” and their build quality is top-notch. I pay attention to things like this because I have an older turbocharged model with performance upgrades- she’s a bit picky haha.
Pros: correct bypass pressure, top-notch build quality

I decided to change my fuel filter last weekend, and as soon as I started the Jeep up afterwards, a terrible howl was coming from the fuel filter. After doing some research, it turns out that Wix has made a "bad batch" of fuel filters. I can't say if it's specifically this part # or if it affects others as well, but it's a good idea to avoid their fuel filters altogether for a while.
Cons: terrible howl, bad batch
