I am new to the forum...last Mazda that I purchased was a new 626 in 1990 - but wife left in neutral and it rolled out of driveway across the street and hit a tree totaling the car 
I bought a WIX filter planning to change oil after first 1000-miles in new Mazda 3 turbo but read some who said should only use Mazda turbo filter. From the comments (Callisto) I am hearing that my original plan was good and the WIX is just fine f/ the turbo and probably a better filter vs the Mazda OEM. Am I correct?
Ive always used Castrol synthetic and never change cars before 200K-miles so plan to do the same f/ the new Mazda.
Thanks!

I have used WIX at least once on my Mazda 👍😎
I would have look but I can say I have had my oil analyzed with a Mazda oil filter and several none OEM oil filters and the oil never showed any negative or concerning values with either.
