How much oil is in Mazda 3 (volumes)?

Engine fluid replacement interval

With a new car, it is advisable to carry out the first replacement after 2,500 km., And, if possible, in a service center. It would be good to replace the initially filled semi-synthetic oil with a high-quality synthetic analogue.

The factory recommends changing the Mazda 3 oil every 6 months/12,000 km. (whichever comes first). Under no circumstances drive without replacement for more than 12 months or 17,000 km., as this is very harmful to the car. If you frequently drive short distances, in areas where salt is used, extended periods of downtime, or in dusty, cold, extremely hot or mountainous areas, you will need to change your oil more frequently.

Along with the replacement of the engine fluid, the oil filter is also replaced. 

What kind of oil to fill in Mazda 3?

Regardless of which engine is installed on the car - 1.6 liters. or 2.0 liters, use MAZDA SUPRA 0W20 synthetic oil .

It has API SN and ILSAC GF-5 international ratings for protection and energy efficiency, and provides the best performance, especially when you are in extreme heat or cold climates. 

MAZDA ULTRA 5W30 oil with ACEA A5 / B5 and API SL / CF properties is also perfect .

It reliably protects the engine from wear and harmful deposits even in difficult operating conditions, and its oxidation resistance maintains efficiency throughout the entire replacement interval.

To extend the maintenance period and protect the engine from damage caused by poor lubrication, it is extremely important to use Mazda 3 engine oil with the correct specification. 

Note:

Add oil of the same grade, viscosity and brand that was previously filled into the engine lubrication system. Oils of different brands, classes and viscosities are very often incompatible, which can lead to the need for serious engine repairs.

Oil change Mazda 3 1.6 l. Work order:

1. To more completely drain the used oil from the system, warm up the engine to a temperature of at least 70°C.

2. Install the transport on a viewing ditch or overpass. If this is not possible, use a jack with racks.

3. Open the hood.

4. Unscrew the oil filler cap.

5.  Place a container of at least 4 liters under the engine oil pan drain hole.

6. Unscrew the drain plug with a key or a 19 head. 

7. Wait for the liquid to drain completely.

8. Set the container aside.

9.   For access to the oil filter, a special hole was made in the lower mudguard.

But it will be possible to unscrew the filter element only if there is a special oil puller.

Otherwise, you will also have to remove the mudguard (7 nuts head for 10 and 2 fasteners).

10. Using a puller or by hand, unscrew the oil filter.

Note:

Be careful:  when removing the old element, a sufficient amount of hot oil flows out! 

11. Use a rag to clean the mating surface and the filter mounting fitting from oil.

12. Replace the Mazda 3 filter with a new one. Lubricate its rubber gasket with fresh oil.

13. Screw the filter element onto the fitting, and tighten it only by hand (using a special tool may damage it).

14. Clean the drain plug threads.

15. Replace its copper o-ring.

16. Wrap the drain plug of the pallet.

17. Go to the engine compartment. Insert a funnel into the filler neck. Slowly pour oil into the Mazda 3 engine.

Note:

Do not immediately fill in the required 3.9 liters, as the old oil does not drain completely. It is better to pour 3-3.5 liters first, and then top it up as needed.

Exceeding the oil level above the MAX mark can lead to its leakage through the oil seals, gaskets and the crankcase ventilation system, as well as damage to the catalytic converter.

18.  Using the pointer, check the oil level. 

The level should be between the two holes corresponding to the MIN  and MAX  marks (the difference in volume between the minimum and maximum levels is 1 liter). 

19.  Screw on the oil filler cap.

20. Run the engine for a few minutes and stop. Re-measure the oil level on the Mazda 3. If it does not reach the lower mark on the pointer, you need to add fluid. 

21.  Check for oil leaks from under the filter gasket and drain plug.

15. Replace the crankcase drain plug.

16. Go to the engine compartment. Insert a funnel into the filler neck. 

17. Slowly fill the engine with fresh oil.

Note:

Since the old oil does not drain completely, do not fill in all the required 4.3 liters at once. First add about 4 liters and then add more if necessary.

Exceeding the oil level can lead to oil leakage through seals, gaskets and the crankcase ventilation system, as well as damage to the catalytic converter.
