Horrible hex bit drain plug. 30k miles on this one and it feels too sloppy for this guy

If the allen screw doesn't come out, should you drill it out?

Super random question did you use ramps to lift up the vehicle? Or are you in a oil bay change station

Wow it's so easy! Thanks for the tutorial.

The owners manual did No say, and Neither did You, HOW MUCH OIL does it hold / should you purchase for this job.?? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Thank you for the well-done video. You can often get these maintenance parts free from the faucet manufacturers by asking customer service.

Bullshit🎉

Thanks, Water pressure was so low. I took the diverter out and now pressure is great.

Will a 11mm deep socket work? Or I’ll need the sae deep socket set for the 3/8 wrench

Thanks for posting this. Trying to replace this bulb really makes me miss my Accord and Honda engineering.

Where do you jack the car up from?

03:50 wrong direction

Some requires a 17mm wrench for the plug.

How much oil does the oil filter itself hold?

cheers helped a lot!

tripods are amazing things .. I can't even watch this

I couldn’t unscrew the oil drain plug with an 8 mm socket what did you use? I have a 2017 Mazda 3 as well

What do you do with old oil?

No Engine Oil Flush solution?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It helps immensely .

Thank you brother!

I purchased a regular oil plug screw to replace the ridiculous Mazda design oil drain plug.

Engine sounds noisy.

Do you have any link to buy oil drain washer? I have mazda 3 2017 touring

Thank you so much as I am going to do my very first oil change tomorrow 👍

righty tighty lefty loosie

Here in Europe we have the 5-30 oil, but good video 👍

Which kind or bulb does it take?

Best video I've seen on this. The repair kit I got said it contains something that can cause cancer. I got a cheap one. I guess it's the rubber. What about this? Does the brand name have parts that don't cause cancer? Jeez.

A 7/16 socket will work, but Focus is metric. If you have to go out and get a deep well socket, you should get an 11mm. A hollow shaft 11mm or 7/16 nutdriver will also work.

Drain plug 23-30 ft lb Filter 107-141 in lb

Always remove the filter before draining the plug. Basics

Thank You

Thank you, I bought valvoline 5W-20 motor oil and a motor craft oil filter for my 2008 Ford Focus. This was easy. Thank you!

you never ever ever ever put drain plug back in before the filter is removed. bad bad bad. never tighten oil filter with tool. LOL

I couldn't want to try this instead of going and having it done. So of course I promptly ran over my new oil filter because the boots I was using to raise the car were too small.

Hi I have 2016 Mazda Demio XD Diesel. Is this vid on the Diesel? Kind Regards

Thank you for such a great video, you helped me change my own oil for a first time. I’ll save money on every oil change now!

My brake like not working but signal working out of that same bulb,could you give any help on that?

thank you so so much :)

Thanksss😂 now my wife thinks im the man🙂

If oil drizzled on filter makes label obscure, it’s too old?

I know this video is 10 years old, but thank you so much for posting it! I was able to change one of my rear turn signal bulbs that had burned out. Feeling more than a little proud of myself, since it's my first car repair :)

If your watching this don’t tighten your filter with anything but a clean rag and your hands 🤣it’ll be stuck when you go to do it again also wait 10 minutes to check the oil because it’ll be in the top of the motor still so it’ll be an inaccurate reading

I’d hate to take that filter off

Dont over tighten the filter boyz that rubber O ring aint on the space shuttle

Good video, short, well documented and informative.
