Prime the oil filter protects the otherwise dry paper element from possible Micro tearing when new engine oil blasts thru on first startup as new oil pushes on oil, not paper. Provided filter is oil soaked new filter can be horizontal and half prime still protects. Great video, you can service my Mazda anytime.

Great job! Fast, simple and straight to the point.

It's good the filter is fitted directly straight up as it allows you to prime and fit very easily

Great video. Thanks for sharing. What torque wrench brand do you recommend ?

Have a link to that oil filter wrench part that grabbed the oil filter

You HAVE to use a filter socket? I have a strap wrench and an oil filter wrench but no socket.. so I have to buy one? Is there room for the above mentioned tools?

is 4.5 the total including what you primed the oil filter with? Or is it oil filter prime + 4.5?

Great video! Thanks!

I’m excited to do this myself

What type of screws are the first 2? I know you said you can remove with 8mm socket, but I'm having trouble finding the exact part/screw #. Thank you! (my access panel/cover got damaged, and I want to replace the 2 screws/plastic push inserts).

These originally came with a hex drain bolt that is known for stripping. It’s good to get a regular drain bolt like the one in this video

great video thanks

I have a Mazda 3 2012 some ppl says since it's old use 5w 30 or 5w 20 but recommended is 0w20

Excellent Video. My Dealer now charges $100 for an oil change so I'm doing it myself.

Wouldn’t you want to fill the car with oil first and then check for leaks around the drain plug and the filter after the car has been running before you put that panel back on? How else would you know if it was leaking or not unless there was oil back in it?

@louislopez55

You would know quite quickly if it was leaking badly as it would be dripping onto your driveway. I always check that the old o-ring gasket is not still attached to the oil filter connection. After you have done an oil change several times you don’t have to worry much about it. On my Mazda 3 I replaced the oil drain bolt with an EZ-oil change plug. I never have to remove the drain plug, just move a little ball valve lever to drain, then move back to close. Makes the job much easier.

+소라 Thanks for checking us out! If you are only moving it a that short of a distance it should be okay to work with as the engine won't have time to fully warm up. If you're divining it for several miles it would range anywhere from 10-30 mins to have it not burn your hands, but you should be good to go as soon as you move it.

Excellent

Good video, but I always check for leaks at the filter after initial start before calling the job done.

It is cool because its a professional wrench from Cornwell tools which can only be purchased off the tool truck and cost more than $300. More than the novice mechanic is willing to pay.

If you're a novice mechanic, it would be a good investment to make. Better having piece of mind than over or under torquing bolts which can be a costly repair in the future.

Hi, I just did this for the first time today and this video was really helpful. I didnt have time to wait for all the oil to drip out and then I filled it with 4.5L of oil but im worried I put a bit too much as the oil on the dipstick while hot is a little bit higher than the max dot (little less than 1cm) Is that a problem?

@@briany3002 this answer is very manufacturer specific. There are brands that can be very sensitive to over filling (like Porsche). You shouldn't be deliberately overfilling the oil to "be safe". That's not safe. You should fill it the amount it needs.

what oil is that

Question: I have a 2017 Mazda 3 2.0 skyactiv G and the manual says to use 0w-20 in USA AND CANADA, but it says everyone else has to use 5w-30! What’s the deal here which is best for the longevity of my investment??

@1AAuto

5 жыл бұрын

+Onix Junes 0w-20 is better for fuel economy but once the car is up to normal operating temperatures both 0w-20 and 5w-20 are going to identical in viscosity. But for initial start up 0w-20 does less harm to the engine than 5W oil.

Both are good. 0w-20 for short trips (for better cold start), 5W30 for longer trips. If the engine is using too much oil about 0W-20, you have to switch to the 5W-30.

This would be so much easier without that plastic cover in the way, but I will hand it to Mazda, they made the filter and drain plug really easy to access once the cover is off.

The plastic cover just pulls right off, no tools required. (And it pops right back on) I leave mine off in the summer, and reinstall it for the winter. I always remove it when changing my oil.
