The procedure to replace the oil filter in a Mazda CX 5.

Model: Mazda CX-5 MK 1, KE - Years 2012-2017
Part: Oil filter

In this video tutorial, we will see the procedure for replacing the engine oil in a Mazda CX 5, following a few simple steps: The first thing to do is to get into the vehicle, turn off the car, and engage the handbrake. Lift the car using a hydraulic jack and place safety stands; using a screwdriver, remove the panel located under the engine. Once the panel under the engine is removed, we have access to the oil filter and the oil drain plug. We need to position a container to collect the used oil under the oil drain plug. Unscrew the drain plug using a Torx T 50 wrench. While waiting for all the oil to drain, unscrew the oil filter using a strap wrench; once the old filter is removed, replace it with the new one and also change the gasket, moistening it with new oil. Screw in the oil drain plug and the new oil filter (without exerting too much force). Using a funnel, we need to top up the new engine oil (SAE 0W-20); (keep an eye on the oil level using a dipstick).

Learn how to fit universal roof bars on a Fiat 500L. These bars are used on vehicles with or without roof rails. Assemble the roof bar kit (as shown in the video) with bars adjusted to the width of the vehicle (measure with a tape measure). Position the brackets at both ends of the doors on the vehicle's original roof rails. Once the anchoring bracket width is set, tighten the bolts with a butterfly nut (if a lock is present) until fully secured to the roof rails. Fit safety caps on both sides.
