Replacement of Engine Oil and Oil Filter

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

Open the bonnet and unscrew the oil filler cap (this will aid in draining); lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, ensuring it is level; unscrew the oil drain plug located at the rear of the sump, collecting the used oil in a suitable container; once drained, re-screw the plug. Next, replace the oil filter cartridge located in front of the sump, also replacing the O-ring kit included with the filter. Finally, refill the engine with new oil according to the quantities and SAE specifications indicated in the owner's manual.
