Tutorial: Oil Change
Published by Krystm at 8:43 am under Mazda Tutorials
Tools Required:
Difficulty: 1 / 10
Time Required: 20 Min / 40 Min (First Timer)
75.6 MM Oil Filter Wrench (Mazda Part # AKS75140) OR 76 MM 14 Flute
17 MM Socket
10 MM Socket
6 MM Allen Key
Oil Drain Pan
Jack / Ramps
Small Flathead
Install:
This tutorial is pretty easy to tackle even for the novice. It may take a little longer for the first timer but this is very easy to do. Assuming you have jacked your car up using either a Jack or Ramps you will need to remove the skid plate. This is held on by 7x 10MM Bolts and 2 poppers. Use the 10 MM to remove the bolts and the small flathead to ge the poppers out.
Here is the oil filter cap and 17MM Drain Plug location. (I Have swapped mine to a “Sure Drain” for easy oil changes)
Remove the 17 MM at this point make sure to have something to catch the oil (e.g. Oil catch Pan)
Now remove the center plug in the oil filter this will drain some of the oil left in the filter. So when you remove it , it doesn’t come out everywhere just the hole.
Start to remove the oil filter cap. Unscrew SOME not all the way as the remaining oil will come out.
Once done draining remove the rest of the way.
Here is the new filter and O Rings. (Purolator Notice the Re-Enforcements in the center)
Remove old O Rings and install new ones. Then re install the plug in the bottom of the oil filter cap.
Add some oil to the filter as to pre oil it. Don’t add too much or it will over flow.
Use a cloth to clean the old oil from the filter housing and re install the filter. BE CAREFUL not to CROSS THREAD or OVER TIGHTEN as it is plastic!
At this point you should be done draining the oil into the pan. Replace the 17 MM Plug and re install your skid plate you are now done under the car.
Last step put in the recommended amount of Oil in your car Usually 4-6 Quarts Depending on NA (4.25Q) 5W-20 / Speed (5.7Q) 5W-30
