Engine Oil, Oil Filter, and Wiper Blade Replacement

Model: Mazda 3 MK 2, BL - Years 2009-2013
Part: Engine oil

This tutorial illustrates how to replace the engine oil in the first part. Use a jack (included with car accessories) to lift the vehicle off the ground, and open the front bonnet. Locate the oil drain valve at the front under the engine, position a bowl underneath, and open the valve to let the old oil drain out. Once the draining is complete, close the valve. Locate the oil reservoir in the bonnet corresponding to the dipstick and top it up with 3 to 4 litres of oil, then close the cap. In the second part, replace the oil filter by referring to the old filter located near the drain valve under the engine; unscrew it and screw on the new one. The final part is dedicated to replacing the wiper blades, which are clip-on, so simply remove the old ones and replace them. Tools:
bowl
3 to 4 litres of oil
oil filter
wiper blades
