It covers hood/cow-catcher removal, locating the dual sump and filter, draining, dealing with a stuck crush washer, swapping in a Wix filter, and refilling with Rotella T6 15W40, including exact quart amounts. Best for owners doing their first DIY oil change on this model.
Posted by owner-operator Jared on his MazdaB3K channel, sharing his own maintenance routine rather than a dealer or professional presentation.
The manual lists 200 hours after the 50-hour break-in change, but the owner changed it at 151 hours due to oil age and contaminants over 2-3 years of use.
Pull the pin on the cow catcher, slide it forward to remove, then pull the hood latch pin located low on one side to pop the hood open.
The video uses a Wix 51307 filter and fills with Rotella T6 full synthetic 15W40, adding about five and a half quarts total.
Paint can make the crush washer stick to the sump instead of the bolt, leaving two washers on one side and none on the other, which will leak.
