Thank you so much for the great video. It will help me tremendously when I do oil change on my CX-5. One thing I'd want to strongly suggest is that you'd want to have a secondary support device in case of ramp failure. At least a floor jack supporting the front end of vehicle or jack stands preferably. Thank you so much again. Liked & subscribed.
Actually, there is a transmission dipstick. I've changed my transmission twice and it is covered by the airbox intake (easy to remove to gain access to the dipstick). The dipstick is secured with a 10mm bolt.
also agree about the creeper, i didnt for the first time, but i just one from walmart too the hyper tough one for $35 its pretty good for the price i like it and its fun ngl
Mine takes like 5.2 quarts to get to full line. 5 quart jug takes it a bit over half way on dipstick. Like he did in video, fill it with a 5 quart jug. Let it run a bit. Check for leaks. Shut it down after a few minutes. Check and fill to full line.
Hi Mate. How do you find the turbo and engine running on the Mobil1 ? Do you notice any difference in the drive ? Engine noise ? Performance ? Thanks mate.
No. Oil is oil. The only difference between good synthetic and junk non-synthetic is how quickly (in miles) that it starts breaking down/losing viscosity/properties. With new oil you will never tell the difference - junk vs good.
@@that_jamesguy good to know! I’m going to be doing an oil change on my buddy’s CX-50. At least now, I won’t be caught by surprise concerning that dipstick. Thx!
About 6L. It’s weird and doesn’t make sense. A bit overfilled now. I think these need to sit off/drain for 15 minutes before checking the level. And wait 5 minutes after top up.
Agreed. The manual says between the lines is normal 5 quarts got me right in the middle. But it does also say if it’s low (around the min level) to fill it too max. So a bit confusing. I am not going to buy more oil just to get to the max line, I think it’s un needed.
There is a transmission oil dipstick. Its just a pain to get to. All the turbos from Mazda need 6 quarts......5.1 quarts doesnt cut it. Mazda got that completely wrong. Great vid btw....👍
i agree, with the non turbo too it says 4.8 quarts but i had to put more like 5.1-5.2/3 ish, its pretty disapointing they got that wrong because even though its been like 6 weeks since i did the oil change, no lights, no issues, im still paranoid that i did it wrong because they oil dipstick is also veyr hard to read on a mazda, esepcially also cuz its a new car with only 5,000 miles. and it doesnt help that tthis was my first oil change
What’s the name of the clippy tool used to remove the clips of the oil pan cover? I might just try using a flat head. And also just try to do it on level ground
0:48 i agree esepcially if ur changing ur own oil and on multiple vehicles, its way less messier and i got one at walmart the hypertough one for like $12 so pretty cheap

do you only need 1 floor jack or one in each side? trying to change my oil myself on next PMI
i have both, just got some ramps, so i have jack, stands, and ramps now
The only thing I do different is I pull the oil filler cap once the oil starts draining to speed the process along. Great video
I'm one of those OCD people who leave the drain plug out for a few hours until there's not even a scent of oil left 😂

yes there is this guy not that good

I do mine every 5000 miles.
Does having the car on-ramps prevent it from draining all the oil out? Shouldn’t the car set level when draining?
Nope. The oil plug is at the back of the sump, so ramps makes it drain better.
@@that_jamesguy THis is the reason I came to watch this video! My MX-5 drail plug faces front and ramps prevent full drain.
no
So how many quarts if not 4.8 like 6 ???

@@that_jamesguyso how much oil did you end up putting in? It looks like this car takes over the 4.8 liters the manual states? 🤷🏻♂️
Yep - 5.5 seems to do the trick. Full line + no more low level warning.

So how much oil did you end up putting in there?, looks like you opened a second 5 quart Jug.

@@that_jamesguy yea it is very weird, kinda dumb they dont know how much oil their own car that they made takes
@@sriavula yeah, I just do about 5.5 now. Seems to do the trick.
@@that_jamesguy gotcha, ive only done 1 but for non turbo it recomends 4.8q, i put about 5.1-5.3 quarts
Can you give me the part # for the oil filter
1WPY-14-302
Manual states to use 5w30 for Skyactiv-G 2.5T
4.8 means drop the 5 quarts. I don't even check the oil levels lol. You went over though.

hes not to bright
Why is your check engine light on?
It’s only on when engine off, which is normal.
@@that_jamesguy yea that and one other light is on, it scared me at first too
you can check the trans fluid, mine you can, i I,ve done it its easy.

Wrong, it's 5.1 quarts (4.8L) with the filter changed.

doesn't changing your own oil void the warranty on the 2021 Mazda CX-5?
No.
