How to Change Your Oil and Filter: 2007 Mazda 6

Today ill show you how to change your oil and oil filter (cartridge style) on a 2007 mazda 6. I was informed the cartridge size was 76mm/14 flutes/size B, due the cap being stripped it didn't fit so the best idea was to try filter pliers which didn't work so just use your hands least case scenario.

5 years later and you saved my butt. Thanks for this video. Very informative and straight to the point.

Important Note: Apply clean oil to the new O-rings prior to re-fitting. This helps to prevent binding & deterioration of both the pan plug and filter drain plug. You'll find it's easier for removal at next oil change. The filter drain plug can be fitted to the filter cover, while off the car. Then fit the filter cover (with drain plug) as a single unit.

+baileywhanau Thank you for the advice... We where taught that in auto.

[@foodtravel9796]

Justin Blancarte i messed up my oil filter screw and now i can't unscrew it. Should i drill it off? Any advice please

[@jimkelly4286]

I own this car. To make life simpler: 1 keep the plastic off the car. It will not hurt the car in any way to do so. I have had mine off for 10 years. 2 buy those filter in bulk on line around $3 each in bulk. 3 use a rubber glove to tighten the filter holder. No need for a tool. The O-ring will seal sufficiently. 4 use 0--20 or 5--20W synthetic oil and the engine will last a long time.

Use your old oil with 50% diesel mix and you have the best wood stain for your fence or deck and it protects against termites 👍

IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU DO THAT I HAVE MAZDA 6 2007 EN 2.3 EVERY TIME I CHANGE OIL IN WORKSHOP NEXT I WILL DO IT MY SELF THANK YOU FOR VIDEO

[@ericdandridge622]

Tell the metric /standard size tools that you use while doing the job. It gives more detail. Good vid though. I liked it.

[@diegothephotographer2036]

this is very helpful, i recently got a 2006 mazda 6, and imma do the oil change this week.

[@ramirogutierrez8453]

So how is it going with the mazda 4 months later?

[@diegothephotographer2036]

[@Steelers88Maxima]

Helped me to service my 2007 Mercury Milan. I had never seen a cartridge filter used in another car.

[@clintonthomas3743]

Aww 2a. 22 D N ysa

[@madworldman2917]

Tighten filter housing to 26ft/lbs. Sump plug to 20ftlbs. 5.5 lts of 5/30 oil and lube the o rings

[@Hero.Lone-Wolf]

I recently just took my car to the mechanic to fix problem. Poor shoddy work and the worse of all was that they forgot to put the under carriage splash guard back up. Two weeks later ... while checking the work on car I realised the splash guard was missing. I immediately drove back to the mechanic shop to tell them my splash guard was missing.... after some mean words. they let me go at the back in the work area and lord and behold... there was my splash guard sitting on top of tyres being used as a tray by other mechanics to put their work tools on top ... needless to say ... I am not going back there ...

[@paulpatt5481]

Thanks for the video. Is there a spring to maintain the seal on the filter ? Where is it located (cap or upper part of housing) ?

[@sudath57]

Thank you, the video is really helpful.

[@clarissaburgos6816]

What do you do if where you change the oil filter is stripped ?

[@jasmindersingh6838]

Omg...did any one notice the bottle had water droplets there....

[@Jcsthird]

what size is the hex bit?

[@malcholmbrookes3287]

6mm hex key

[@yichen6505]

how do you romove stubborn oil tank head? I have same problem

[@aztekit1]

I saw a drop of water fall into your engine. With your new bottle...

[@SRT_Hefe]

It was a drop lol. There is no harm... But plus this mazda is no longer. Someone ran a red light and smashed the whole driver side sadly.

[@nicolacox2052]

:-( Glad YOU weren't written off! Thanks for video!... I am about to unleash the inner auto-mechanic!

[@eriklocs1231]

Dude, I have the same car. I need to change my oil filter but I can't get it out because I messed up the screw and I can't undo the screw now to twist the oil filter cap off.

[@jamesstokes9167]

If your filter cap is that bad a shape, you should replace it. $15 at Autozone could save your engine. They have been known to blow apart under pressure when they have been mishandled with the wrong tools, like what's shown here.

[@justinblancarte5209]

+James Stokes I agree with you... Unfortunatetly a guy in a truck ran a red light and hit the mazda and it was totaled. I believe these mazdas won't run/start if oil pressure it too low.

[@mhd786jna3]

​​@@justinblancarte5209 wow after 6y I see this comment that's sad but on the bright side atleast these vids are helping pay back

[@davidmathis2762]

What size is the hex socket for the drain plug

[@danieldelapp1]

David Mathis 6mm

[@user-tt6qj9jr6c]

Can u remove without wrenched

[@octymocty132]

notice you say do a cold oil change no way ! . ALWAYS DO A OIL CHANGE HOT OR WARM then there no need for additive as every thing will be lose even the oil

[@abde9473]

thank you

СКАЖИТЕ А НА МАЗДЕ 6 ТАКОЙ ЖЕ ФИЛЬТР 2006 ГОДА

[@midnightnarcosis]

Please please please people, do NOT follow this tutorial. So many bits of information has been left out. For instance, the torque setting for the tightening of the sump bolt etc. Nothing worse than a blown motor because the sump bolt unscrewed its self because, and like the other bolts were "nice and snug up". I cringed all the way through this clip.

[@ryelor123]

Torque setting aren't that important when you've done multiple oil changes and know how hard you have to pull. Its usually 36ftlb anyway but you can always overtighten it without much harm. His only 2 mistakes were not filming the tightening of the drain plug and not oiling the o-rings.

[@rodbod7984]

Do you ever change the oil in the nude?? i do..don't tell anyone ok.

[@sonialuz67]

Is the same for 2006 mazda 6 ?

[@Josephquezada]

Yep

[@jd70HJ19]

TORQUE SPECS FROM MAZDA ... 9 lbf for the filter cover drain plug and 22 to 25.8 lbf for the plastic oil filter cover ...I BOUGHT ONE NEW IN 2008 ... the specs are identical to for all the 2.3 IL4 .... you do not know what you are talking about and nobody should take you for an example .

[@qwazert382]

OMG you MUST tighten the drain plug WITH A WRENCH...not just by hand. Engines vibrate a lot and a hand-tightened fastener will work itself loose within a few hundred miles. Tighten your drain plug with a wrench!!! And do a HOT oil change...hot oil flows better so that you get as much as possible out of the engine. I can't believe you put a stripped filter housing back on the car...so much about this video is wrong, a lot of it is just plain dangerous to the health of your vehicle.

[@AshBloodFox]

So what your gonna do is.... then it should be removed. As you can see I put new o rings on... WHAT?!

[@noriielcortez3461]

I can't get the oil filter off .. I don't have the right tool pain in the Ass

[@cantfindthefeeling]

Noriel Cortez did you ever find the right tool?

[@nixonn3]

Um.. Change oil when hot.
