Review on Efficient Performance with the WIX 57002 Oil Filter: A Must-Have for Your Engine by Michael Hogate

With the disappearance of the vaunted Japanese OEM Mazda Tokyo Roki PE-01-14-302A, I was in search of one SkyActiv-specific cross-reference German production Mann Hummel W6018. As it turns out, this German oil filter model is just as rare (more common in Europe) if not unavailable as Tokyo Roki even here in the US. Luckily, Wix (now owned by Mann Hummel, since 2016) released this SkyActiv with spec 57002 especially for us owners of the latest Mazda. I have used Mann Hummel (formerly Audi/VW) long life oil filters extensively over the years and can attest that this Wix oil filter is of similar quality to Mann Hummel's. Until I find W6018. 57002 (aka NAPA Gold 7002) is just enough for the oil filter needs of my low mileage 2014 Mazda6 Touring 6MT.
