Quick and easy hot to on doing a oil change on your mazda 3 2017, hope this video helps you with your oil change so you can do it yourself
Pro tip. I wear disposable gloves on right hand when removing the oil filter. Once I've removed filter I remove glove. Save me washing my hand and I hate the feeling of cleaning my hands a few times and can still feel the oil on my hand. I love that you mention tighten oil filter by hand, I've done this for over 15 years and never hand any issues. It also makes it much easier to remove filter
With that kind of filter position. I'd pour a little of new oil into the new filter reduce a little engine wear.
Just bought a used 2016 sedan, and thinking of learning to maintain it on my own. Thanks a lot for the video! Doesn't look hard, but gotta go get the tools first. Should I am thinking of putting in penzoil ultra premium in it, at least for the first time since it has more "cleaners" as per some reviews. Thoughts?
- Warm up engine for 3 min @idle (don't do it hot)
- Jack up driver's side and use a secondary mechanism to support the jack (for your sake)
- Loosen oil cap, remove drain plug and let drain
- Remove filter and wipe off all surrounding area
- Fill NEW filter with oil and install (to mitigate that first "dry" pump)
- Replace drain plug (maybe 9Nm or 4lb ft - just snug not rompin' tight)
- Check your work
- Lower vehicle
- Pour NEW Oil in at the specifications
- Replace oil cap
- Check Work
- Start Car for 30 seconds
- Reset your Oil Minder
- Check Oil Level on Dipstick and ensure you are not overfilled
so when you put the new oil in you have to make sure on the dip stick it’s to the second circle or bubble or where should it reach till on the dip stick , also do you remember exactly how much oil you put, how many quarts total ?
Barely touching top bubble
Incredibly useful. Thanks for sharing this!!
Great video. Maybe use new oil on the filter gasket and fill it up before installing. I'm also hoping that you chocked the rear wheels. 👍
Thanks for the video! Gonna save this for the weekend 😎
what is the height of the oil filter?
is Allen key(Drain Plug) size 8mm?
on the pinch welds there is a small area to indicate where to jack it up from according to mazda, is it safe for the car to put the floor jack to the side more so that the jack stands can occupy that spot with the notches? i cant find any information to answer this question
Yes you will be fine
I would cut a small wooden block and make a groove wide and deep enough to fit over ridge, then position it on trolly jack plate when jacking up car and you wont damage and bend ridge, also make same block for stands
I know we always change oil in our vehicles. Just a tip: I always put carton under the vehicle like those from Costco fillers from bathroom tissue, then when I remove the oil filter I used two pcs of paper towel to unscrew the oil filter so when drip comes I’m safe, then I’ll just drop the paper towel in the container as well the oil filter and deal with it later, also I always use ramps to be in the safe side. I also fill the oil filter with oil inside the hole and lubricate the rubber seal around it. Thanks for uploading the video👍🙂
useful content thanks a lot!
Hello just wanted to see if u can tell me the size of the plastic clips or rivets for the cover all around I had to replace mine but didn’t come with the screws and don’t have the original one either just wanted to see if u can tell me so I can get them thank u
Plastic clips can be purchased at Autozone. They’ll have manufacturers name on the packaging so you know it’ll be for you car and if not Autozone is good about returns
What I noticed that was strange your fuel tank range is displaying 704 miles , which is very high but then again the 2.0 from 2014 to 2016 are much more efficient than the 2018 model they twaeked the way the car revs also I like the more raw feeling of the 2016 model seems a little more louder and sporty.
Oh this cars in km’s, canadian mazda 3
Great video
When is a good time to do oil change on a Mazda3 2016
every 5000 km if running regular oil, 8000km if running synthetic
guys i have a south african 2016 Mazda 3 astina at 2 litre auto not the 2.5 you get in other countries 125000 km. been running 5w30 from day one . went to a new service guy and he put 5W40 ... should i leave it or should i drain it all out . i intend to keep the car as long as possible
Is it liquimoly ?? 5w40 should be fine. For example, the Volkswagen GTI calls for 5W-30 on the cab yet most local shop so put in 5W 40 liquiMolly.
@ghostlyrich liquimolly isnt common in south africa . Its some other brand ill try find out . Castrol or something
Thank you for the video! 😊
Useful video thanks.
Does the drain plug has a gasket that needs to be replaced?
I got charged for a sump plug washer every time I took it for a proper service, so I assume so.
It has a crush washer yes’
While u don’t “have to”
They cost $3 for a new plug and crush washer at dealer just do it!
Why change your old crush washer all jacked up do it right the first time’
But there’s always those ppl “who know best” 🤣
what oil filter did you use im trying to figure out what oil filter i need
Depends on the brand if I were you go on rock auto put in the year make and model of vehicle and under engine oil filter will give you some part numbers
8mm allen socket $7 auto zone
You tighten it too much by hand. You won't be able to use your hand next time to remove it!
You probably squeezed the gasket too much?
Otherwise...ok but you should use new oil on your new gasket( o - ring ) not used oil( cross contamination).
You should trade mark "monkey gripped it"....Good humor guy! Nice video!
Anyone knows Allen key size?
Does you mazda have any rust issues?
I getting one in few months but I heard many saying that they is easily get rust?
rust was a big problem in the early 2000s. my parents had a 2002 mpv with 400,000km, but rust a quarter way up the doors. my 2014 mazda 3 has no such issues though. and i live in salt central. but i also fluid film the eff out of it every summer.
Thank you bro
Thanks heaps
👍🏽

Mine was a bolt. 2018 mazda 3
I have a mazda 3 also I'm guessing it's a bolt also what size though
@@giniolamy I believe it’s a 17 mm.
I got my car jacked up and stuff and then I saw mine was an allenkey , i didnt have any so i'll have to buy and do it next week. 2018 mazda3 2.5l manual here. :( i was excited to do my first oil change
Yes the older 14-16 mazda 3 had a shit Allen key bolt that would strip out easily’
Mazda finally wised up and updated part to an actual bolt’
For bolt and crush washer it was $3 and change at my dealer’
100% recommend buying the new plug on next change’
That old Allen key one is trash’
@@joshymcdaniel9233 I do not understand why manufacturers use a allen key bolt for any normal bolt application. Like you said they do strip out many times. I had to extract a stripped hex stripped bolt on my supercharger on my miata.
You sound uncannily like Homelander
