Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Engine oil

Lift the car and secure it with appropriate supports to prevent it from falling. 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. Remove the protective cover, then position the container under the engine to collect the oil. Unscrew the oil drain plug on the sump and allow it to drain. Use the special tool to unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one and refit the filter. Also, replace the copper washer on the oil drain plug and that of the filter. Close the oil drain plug, refit 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 appropriate collection centres.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
