Mazda5 Oil Change

A quick tutorial for changing oil in a 2009 Mazda5 with a fairly basic tool set. Should also apply to 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 Mazda5 with the 2.3L engine. When I changed the oil, I found that it requires a canister filter.
I ended up changing the oil in a parking lot near an auto parts store to make sure I had all the supplies I needed. The process took me less than an hour, and only took that long because I kept going in and buying tools I didn't have.
The access to the oil filter cover is fantastic, but it can definitely get messy if the filter cover tips in the wrong direction.
The instruction manual calls for 4.3 quarts of 5W-20 oil. I prefer using synthetic high mileage oil on my vehicles so I can be relaxed about the timing and run up to 15,000 miles or 1 year per oil change.

For no particular reason aside from the fact it's high mileage synthetic and fairly affordable, I always use Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage Synthetic Oil. I find it either at Walmart or Amazon for $27.47. Here's the link for Amazon: amzn.to/3jqQunY
For this particular oil change, I used whatever filter I could get my hands on at the autoparts store. The next oil change, I'll go with this high-mileage filter. I'm going to go with this 20,000 mile filter since it's all of $.20 more than the 15,000 mile filter. amzn.to/2Lx969q.
Even though it doesn't fit perfectly, I would recommend an oil filter wrench since it did end up making the job easier for me. amzn.to/36SJsmLa
I'm including a link for a 17mm socket on Amazon, but mostly because I used the picture for it and want to give credit where credit is due. amzn.to/3rAD4bF
Thanks for watching!

The small rubber o-ring is for the filter canister drain plug not the oil pan drain plug. The oil pan drain plug uses a metal squish washer.

Thanks for clarifying that. I pinned your comments so future folks will be able to see that

[@DavidBeatypersonal]

Yes, loved the brevity. Thank you

What will happen if I put 5w-30 oil in a Mazda 20095

Thank you for the video. 1 question: I have to take off the black plastic panel at the bottom of the car, right? Video shows you already took it off. Any tutorial about how to take it off? Thanks.

[@adventuringarizonan7453]

Sorry, the previous owner didn't have it attached when I bought it. I'm not sure how to remove it, but I'm sure there's videos about it online

[@69JONESYrugby]

You didnt show how to remove the debris shield.

May I ask how high is the lift on your lift ramps? I was hesitating on buying the ones with 4-6 inches because my Mazda 5 is such a low car.

[@charliechan6451]

I have the ramps also. There is maybe just less than a quarter of an inch of clearance, but it goes up just fine. The ramps do tend to slip on black top, but as long as you jam them underneath the wheels first, you’ll be good to go.

Thank you 🙏

[@addisonrees8317]

Yeah.... that 76 mil 14 didn't work.

[@adventuringarizonan7453]

Hmm, really? What ended up working for you?
