Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement

Model: Mazda Mpv LW - Years 1999-2006
Part: Engine oil

The first operation to perform is the removal of the under-shield protection located under the engine: at this point, position a suitable container to collect the used oil and first remove the oil filter, which is located at the front of the engine, near the exhaust manifold. Next, undo the drain plug of the oil sump, which is located at the rear of the sump, and re-tighten it once the draining is complete. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to the SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the user and maintenance manual.
