Thank you so much!! I’m a girl and I’ve always been into cars but I didn’t have a dad around to teach me this stuff. I want to be able to do these kinds of things on my own! Thank you, I feel more confident after this video 😄
thanks for this! I was a bit confused to why auto parts stores were showing me cartridges only over a conventional filter. this will make my job next fortnight easier to do.
i didn't know it was that easy. i was used to the other type of filter that i always changed myself. I guess i can do this one too. thx for posting!!!! doing the valve cover gasket today!
Excellent video and great and simple way to explain, a question I have a mazda 3 2005 engine 2.3 what type of oil is recommended to use for the car I want to do the oil change it has 166k miles
Use a high mileage 5w-20 oil. I personally always put in a bottle of STP oil treatment also when I do mine..my 2004 mazda 3 has 225,000miles and still runs strong!
Great video. I noticed that when you started your car , on the panel the “check engine light” is on. I m asking because my mazda 3 2005 has about 63000 miles and the check engine light come on recently, i reset it once and came back again 3 days later. The car runs smooth as always. Any tips or tricks you may know before bringing my car to the dealer?
Go get the code read at any auto parts store to find out what it is..it most likely is a simple fix but they will tell you whats wrong..mine is on cause the thermostat is stuck open and I have a small EVAP leak..nothing serious
I have mazda 3 2005, the oil used was castrol 5w-30, im having my change oil again soon, and my mileage is up to 300,000kms. Should i still used 5w-30 again? Living in Australia. Thanks
looks like someone has already stripped the hex or torx bolt on the oil filter, it seems tight and I don't think anything is leaking from that area, is it ok to just leave that in place? I took the oil filter plastic cap off with a specially designed cap socket and all the oil poured out doing that (yes it's messy but I didn't want to jack with the partially stripped hex bolt).? DO you think I'm good to go? I realize that the oil filter came with a small black rubber o-ring that would otherwise be put onto that fitting , but since I'm of the opinion that I should "Leave well enough alone" , it's just a question I have for you as far as if you think it's ok to do that? thanks in advance so much for your thoughts!!!
@@dabneyoffermein595 you should be able to get one from the auto parts store..might have to be ordered so check it out before you remove the old one so your not down a day or two..have the new one in hand first!!
@@xXxmessixXx101 I would go to 5w 20 because with that many miles or kilometers your gonna want the oil to get to critical parts as fast as possible. The thicker oil will take longer to get in there creating wear on the bearings and other parts, plus the oil pump wont work as hard either. Best of luck! Nice conversing with you!
Great video. Thanks. I laid under the car for 10 minutes looking for a traditional filter before I figured out that it’s a cartridge.
Thanks.
Simple yet super informative. Thanks. Made my mazda 3 hatchback change a breeze.
your welcome!!

Welcome!! Glad it helped!!
Thanks , good advice about letting the filter housing drain out before removal.
Glad it helped!!!
Your video is the only one I saw that removed the drain plug on the filter, thanks for the video.
Your Welcome!!
Yo fr last oil change i put that o ring on the main drain plug cause i didnt know where else it went...
Great video. Very well orchestrated and demonstrated. I'm doing this tomorrow. Was confused by this strange cartridge filter. Now I get it
Thank You..Good luck..!!
Great video. I was able to change my own oil. I stripped the bolt on the drain pan and had to use another video to remove it, but it all worked out!
Good to hear...glad my video helped!!
i didn't know it was that easy. i was used to the other type of filter that i always changed myself. I guess i can do this one too. thx for posting!!!!
doing the valve cover gasket today!
Yep not that hard..I also did my valve cover gasket...pretty easy..Thanks for watching and good luck!!
Great video thx. Drain plug on filter cap detail was perfect 👍
Your welcome..glad I could help!! Thanks for watching!!
Thankyou for a clear and concise video. Thanks so much helped me a lot 👍
Welcome!! Glad it helped!
Great video! Straightforward and right to the point.
Thanks!! hope it helped!!
Thanks this helped, doing my first oil change by myself cause usually pay someone to do it 😅
Good Luck...It's pretty easy!!
Never pay anyone to do it, they won't do it right if it's not their car. Especially if they don't know Mazda vehicles.
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda saludos de México

You should never reset a code without reading and making sure it's not a serious code.
how in the hell do you only have 63K on that car? OMG, that's pretty impressive!!!
What a great video, i have a 2008 mazda 5, do you all think it's the same thing-process? Thank you!
should be pretty much the same.
I have mazda 3 2005, the oil used was castrol 5w-30, im having my change oil again soon, and my mileage is up to 300,000kms. Should i still used 5w-30 again? Living in Australia. Thanks
You should use 5w-20 but I would get a "high mileage" blend..also would suggest adding an oil treatment such as STP oil treatment.. Good luck!!

You should be fine.. the o rings are designed to be replaced once removed..if its not leaking you should be good..
@@RobbersVblog All is good, no leaks!!! Thanks a tremendous amount!!
What size is the drain plug
Oil pan 17mm filter its 7mm..
If you’ve got an older engine do you need a thicker viscosity Or lighter one ?
Use the proper one but get a "high mileage" blend..Me personally I always add a bottle of STP oil treatment also..
@@RobbersVblog thanks Sir but will the oil treatment be necessary or it can be an option?
@@ashtrakeanny7124 Its an option if you want. just an extra piece of protection..
@@RobbersVblog alrighty
I stripped the allen plug on the oil filter. Any advice to get it ou?
Get a larger allen and hammer it in the plug till it grabs it then get a replacement from the auto parts store.
@@RobbersVblog do they have those at auto-parts stores? I figured you'd have to buy the entire housing from the stealership
@@dabneyoffermein595 you should be able to get one from the auto parts store..might have to be ordered so check it out before you remove the old one so your not down a day or two..have the new one in hand first!!
Where is a good place to buy the filter from?
Any auto parts store..I go to o reilly's.
always Walmart unless you want to get ripped off by the neighborhood auto parts franchise stores
Thank you
I looked up oil filter for this car and it says its a canister filter?
they are not..its just the cartridge..a canister will not fit...
where did you look that up at?
Is it bad to use 10w-30 in my 2007 mazda 3?
YES thats to thick..you need to stick with 5w20 otherwise the oil pump and filter will bog down causing damage to one or both pieces..$$$
@@RobbersVblog I’m living in Saudi Arabia and the weather is so hot in summers and my car is near to hit 300000 kilometers
Should I continue using castrol 10w-30 or switch to 5w-20
@@xXxmessixXx101 Thats great my 2004 mazda 3 just turned over 206,000 miles!

I need the key?
7mm allen & channel locks and you can get it off..I think that is what you are asking about if not let me know what you meant..
Really helpful, thanks
