Engine oil change with oil filter change on Mazda CX 5

Using a jack, raise the car and secure it with a jack stand.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, open the engine cover hatches providing access to the drain plug (right arrow) and the oil filter (left arrow).

After protecting the ground and placing a basin that can hold at least 6 liters of oil, completely unscrew the drain plug using a size 19 socket.

The oil will flow immediately, so be careful to position your basin correctly.

Using a filter wrench, remove the oil filter.

A small amount of oil may leak out at this point.

Make sure the filter gasket is not left on the support

To perform a complete oil change, open the engine oil filler cap

And remove the jack stands to put the vehicle back on a flat surface.

Oil the gasket of the new oil filter and place it in its location.

Screw the new filter on by hand, not with the filter wrench. Tighten fully, then 3/4 turn after contact.

Clean so that any leaks can be detected later.

Replace the drain plug and then clean for any leaks afterwards.

No need to place a copper gasket on the drain plug, the sump being equipped with an integrated gasket.

After ensuring that the drain plug and oil filter are properly installed, fill the engine with the required amount of oil using a funnel. (oil quantity indicated in the vehicle manual)

Pour the oil in several times then check the level using the dipstick by resting the vehicle flat.

Close the engine oil filler cap and start the engine.

Turn off and check for leaks under the engine.

Check the oil level again.

Close the access hatches on the engine cover.

Congratulations, you're done.
