I use 5W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic oil in it with Wix filters.
The car runs smoother, burns less oil, idle feels quieter, oil comes out less dirty and overall, the car just feels better.
Wix in everything.
Purolator and Wix filters are made by mann+hummel. Both are excellent filters. The Wix filter part# 57002 is made specifically for the 2.5 non turbo Skyactive engine because it does not have an anti drain back valve and same goes for oem. 0w20 only comes in synthetics so as long as you use what is recommended in the manual you can use your favorite oil. I will be doing 3-4K oci.
That's the filter I've been using on my 2015 mazda 3, I've been getting them from Rock auto. So far no issues that I can see, took one filter apart after use and it seemed good.
Yes, absolutely can use Bosch and they were fantastic.
I use Amsoil Signature Series and a Wix Filter.
Wix xp filter
Motor sounds so much better already and oil psi stays between 58 and 62
Oem filter or wix WL10078. For oil pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum 5w30 (whichever is cheaper).
So I changed the filter to an $11 Bosch filter, got the car good and warmed up, still low pressure. When I start it up and the oil is still thin, I've got about 50psi and as it warms up it just goes lower until it'S around 10psi at 2000rpm.
Bosch filters are almost as bad a FRAM now.
