2018 Mazda 3 Oil Change

Oil change in 2018 Mazda 3 start to finish.
Purolator Oil Filter: amzn.to/3sVV3tU

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.

GREAT COLOUR! Deep Crystal Blue!

[@anqichen8368]

Thank you so much!

[@darioali5517]

Can you use the same oil in a 2016 skyactive engine

[@Warmsunset26]

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.

I also have a 2013 with nearly 80k miles and it's been great thus far.

2017 is 8mm allen socket $7 auto zone

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.

[@user-vs8tq2np2h]

What do you use?

[@SlowCarsFastSFV]

@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.

[@Kira-zs9vu]

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.

[@robertduball4605]

You should start the engine before you put the cover on and lower vehicle to check for leaks from drain plug and filter

[@dmosk2002]

That’s good advice

[@DannyDangerously]

Did you only Jack up the front passenger side of the vehicle? Do you not need to Jack up the rest of the car?

[@dmosk2002]

Front passenger side is enough to guam access to the engine oil drain plug and filter. Make sure you secure with jack-stands.

[@DannyDangerously]

@@dmosk2002 ok thanks! Im going to put two Jack stands on the front and chock the rear wheels. 👍

[@not-AI]

Why wouldn't you just remove the oil filter before you remove the drain plug?

[@dmosk2002]

Never thought of doing that. I would imagine that it would be more messy.

[@jtuell]

Is this 2.0L or 2.5L? Is there any difference in regards to oil change (filter type, location, etc)?

[@michaels8817]

The recommended oil is in your owners manual.

[@robertduball4605]

Make sure to add oil before starting

[@sinbadthesailor87]

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...

[@dmosk2002]

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.
