How do you change oil 2009 Mazda 6 2.5L engine?

Answer 1

UNDER THE CAR THERE IS what looks to be a square cut out of the plastic on the bottom. thats where the oil pan is drained.

when the oil comes out it will flow backwards about a foot, so have the pan behind it and not directly under it. loosen the bolt on the oil pan.

oil will come out from the hole. Then when its done emptying out you move the pan to the front of the car under the oil filter.

If you have a canister filter you will not trash the canister.... you first and carefully loosen the plug on the canister....this is nice so you don't burn yourself with the hot oil from the oil filter.....drain canister.....loosen, strong hand and rubber glove can do this, otherwise use strap tool. change filter catrage and rubber seals.

Now that you have changed the filter and screwed it back in snugly "not too tight" poor 5.3 qts back in the 2.5l 4cyld Mazda motor.

your car will like you for it, motor will run real nice and quite on penzoil 5w-30.
