Model: Mazda 6 GH, MK 2 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Engine oil

Lift the car and secure it. The necessary tools are a ratchet spanner, a set of fixed spanners, a special tool for removing the filter, and a large container for collecting the oil. Position the container under the engine to collect the oil. Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and let it drain. Using the special tool, unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one and reattach the filter. Also replace the copper washer on the oil cap and that of the filter. Close the oil cap, reattach the oil filter, and top up with new oil, checking the level with the dipstick. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to the appropriate collection centres.
