Have you noticed that your Mazda 3 is low on engine oil and want to add some yourself? Start by opening the bonnet and locating the oil sump. It is positioned in the centre of the bonnet, on the engine cover.

There is a yellow circle on the left side of the cover. Remove it and check the oil level.

If it is below the average, you will need to add some. The oil cap is located behind the dipstick.

Once cleaned, replace it. Unscrew the oil cap and insert a funnel to make the task easier. Only add oil suitable for your car. Once added, screw the cap back on and check the level of the oil added.

If you are satisfied, you can close everything up.
