1. Inspection pit or hydraulic lift with supports.
2. Special device for loosening the oil filter (oil filter pliers, strap wrench or HAZET 2172 tool).
3. A set of socket heads for loosening the oil drain plug, as well as a 6-liter container for collecting oil.
The following wearing parts are required:
1. Gasket for oil drain plug (sometimes applied to the oil filter).
2. Oil filter cartridge. When purchasing a spare, indicate the model and year of manufacture.
3. Depending on the engine, 3 to 4 liters of engine oil. Use only oils recommended by MAZDA, see Chapter Engine lubrication system.
Amount of oil
| Engine | with filter replacement | without filter replacement |
| E1, E3, E5 | 3, 4 | 3, 2 |
| B3, B5, B6, BP (SOHC) | 3, 0 | 2, 8 |
| BP (DOHC) | 3, 6 | 3, 4 |
| PN (Diesel) | 3, 6 | 3, 2 |
Oil should be changed every 10,000 km, for a diesel engine every 5,000 km. If you make rare trips, change the oil once a year. At the same time, the oil filter is changed.
Under severe operating conditions, short distance driving, frequent cold starts and very dusty streets, the engine oil and oil filter should be replaced at shorter intervals.
Attention! Old oil must be handed over to special points. Under no circumstances should old oil be poured out or thrown away with household garbage.
Draining engine oil
For petrol engine
For diesel engine
1. Bring the engine oil to operating temperature (min. +60°C), to do this you need to drive 10 - 15 km.
2. Raise the vehicle to a horizontal position.
3. Place a container under the oil pan to collect the oil.
4. Unscrew the filler cap.
5. Loosen the drain bolt on the bottom of the oil pan and completely drain the old oil.
Caution! If traces of metal shavings and wear products are visible in the oil in large quantities, this indicates rust damage, such as damage to the crankshaft or connecting rod bearings. To avoid subsequent damage, the oil passages should be thoroughly cleaned after engine repair.
6. Install the drain bolt with a new gasket and tighten it down firmly 40 Nm.
