Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

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

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the undertray; place a suitable container under the oil sump and unscrew the drain plug located at the rear of the sump; once the oil has drained, re-screw the plug. In front of the sump is the oil filter: unscrew it using the appropriate socket tool while keeping the container positioned below to catch any oil that may spill; then replace the filter cartridge and the O-ring seal on the plug. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications stated in the owner's manual.
