I get scared everytime. I personally use ramps, I do put Jack's under the sides and chock the rear wheels. I want 0 issues. It already makes me hella nervous to get under the car but I do enjoy working on my own car too.
Word of advice. Cold oil is thick oil. The hotter the oil is when you do the oil change, the better it drains. Also, if you want you can run a quart of fresh oil through while the drain plug and filter are off to help clean out any old oil left behind.
No jack stands or ramps with chocks behind the rear wheels? Talk about safety down the drain. I use a combination of chocks on the rear wheels, jack stands *and* leave the floor jack in place on one side. I really enjoy my chest to stay in a non-caved-in state...
Good advice, but notice the caption in the video at 0:24 stating jack stands were used and the jack stand top left corner of the screen at 2:02. I also leave the jack.
Thank you - for '' the heads up ''. As my next vehicle will be a Mazda 3. My present vehicle is a 2005 ford estate 1600 zebec. With nearly 240 000 on the clock. Regular oil changes maintain the longevity of ANY vehicle.
GREAT COLOUR! Deep Crystal Blue!
Don't ever go under a car with the hydraulic jack holding it.. You'd be amazed how many limbs and lives are lost each year due to this Darwin Award.
What do you use?
@user-vs8tq2np2h ESCO jack stands with pinch weld adapters. Ramps for certain types of jobs. Hydraulic jack is for lifting and lowering only.
Exactly, automotive 101.

I use ramps for oil changes, but for anything else, I would use Jack stands.
HOT TIP FOR COMMENT SECTION:
REMOVE OIL FILTER FIRST AND THE OIL WILL DRAIN FASTER! (and not get oily and harder to remove later)
Why didn't you clean off the oil base before putting on new filter?
2017 is 8mm allen socket $7 auto zone
Why wouldn't you just remove the oil filter before you remove the drain plug?
Never thought of doing that. I would imagine that it would be more messy.
2018 mazda 3 engine (sky active 2.0) made in mexico or Canada is deferent oil type? (I mean type 0w.20 or 5w.30)
Check ur mazda 3 manual just to make sure. Mine use 0-20
@@stanjpascual2319 it says it on the oil cap

You should start the engine before you put the cover on and lower vehicle to check for leaks from drain plug and filter
That’s good advice
Did you only Jack up the front passenger side of the vehicle? Do you not need to Jack up the rest of the car?
Front passenger side is enough to guam access to the engine oil drain plug and filter. Make sure you secure with jack-stands.
@@dmosk2002 ok thanks! Im going to put two Jack stands on the front and chock the rear wheels. 👍
Can you use the same oil in a 2016 skyactive engine
Thanks! Great video.
Thank you so much!

I also have a 2013 with nearly 80k miles and it's been great thus far.
Make sure to add oil before starting
Is this 2.0L or 2.5L? Is there any difference in regards to oil change (filter type, location, etc)?
The recommended oil is in your owners manual.
