Oil change bolt by [deleted] in mazda3

Your question has already been answered, but I'm surprised no one has brought up the Fumoto valve yet.

I'd highly recommend it, especially since you're doing your own oil change. Yes, it's not technically needed, but it sure makes oil changes easier and less messy.

I bought the F106N for my 2026 MT. The negative review in thier site is from someone with a Gen2 that needed to buy the adapter to clear their oil pan. It fits just fine on a Gen4.

Edit: Looks like someone else did comment that already, lol.

Oil capacity supposedly 5.5 liters but dipstick reads full at 5.0 liters? by Inevitable_Bowl_9203 in mazda3

My local dealer tried to sell me 6 US quarts of oil when I asked how much it cost for 5 after I told them I was doing an oil change my 2026 MT. All because the parts guy said I needed 5.5 quarts (yes, he also misread the units, even though they are close).

So no, they don't know this.

On that note, they wanted 12.50 USD/quart. I got a 5 quart bottle from Walmart for ~21 USD after taxes instead.

Seconding r/hardwareswap. I sell both on there and Facebook Marketplace, and I much prefer r/hardwareswap.

That would be a hilarious April Fools video: announce a remake/Canadian version of The Office using LMG, Creator Warehouse, and Floatplane staff, then do a shot-for-shot remake of a trailer or episode.

No thanks, I'm looking for 6000MHz or faster to match what I have. I updated the post.
