2010 Mazda MAZDA3 Questions & Answers
I have a 2010 mazda3 Diesel. I think the oil pickup filter is blocked. How easy is it to remove the sump to clean it?
It's pretty easy
but you'll need to work under the vehicle, so make sure that the vehicle is on ramps or axle stands.
Don't work under the vehicle just on a jack as it can slip & you can be killed.!
Run the engine for 5 minutes to warm up the oil.
Remove the sump plug & drain the oil into a suitable container.
Remove all the bolts which hold the sump onto the bottom of the engin & drop it down. (sometimes there are additional sump bolts near the crankshaft which are on the side of the engine)
You may need to prize the sump off. Do this slowly & carefully to avoid damage to yourself, the engine & to avoid twisting the sump tray.
The oil pickup will now be seen. Remove the 1 or 2 bolts securing it.
Wash it with degreasant or hot water & detergent
Reftitting is the opposite of dismantling, BUT,
You will need to clean-up both of the mating-faces of the sump & bottom of the engine.
When they're clean, use a new sump gasket & a good oil-sealing gasket-sealant. Follow the instructions on the sealant about drying times.
Bolt the sump back in position, using the correct bolt sequence & torque tightness.
Replace the sump bolt.
Fit a new oild filter & refill with new, clean oil.
2010 Mazda Mazda3 hood release broken... How do I
You can use a some pliers and aluminum wire to open a car hood if the

Try to connect the wire around the latch that will release the hook for
the hood.

Hi my son just purchased a Madza 3 SI. He told me
Hello and welcome to FixYa!
There can be a hole on the air conditioning hose which gives moisture to the display. Try to blow dry it and if it returns when the a/c is on then there really is a hole in the hose which causes moisture to the radio display. The hose must be replaced to resolve the problem.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
