First warm up your bike then locate your oil neck filler on your LH side just above your clutch foot pedal, open / loosen it.
Just below it below your clutch housing you will find a large bolt that needs to be opened counterclock wise with a size 17 spanner, unbolt it, before doing so put an oil pan below it to catch the oil.
Your oil filter housing normally reside in the center of your block, open using a size 15 spanner, place oil pan below it to catch any oil drippings.
As soon as you have unbolt the oil filter housing, carefully note the sequence the oil filter is set-up as you need to put everything back in the same order.
Once you have taken the oil plug off and no more oill coming out from the hole, you can put the drain plug in again and tighten it just tight enough to stop poil from leaking, do not over tighthen as it will make more difficult whe doing the next oil change.
Reverse your oil filter process and tighten the bolt tight enough to hold any leaks.
Last step to fill you bike though the oil neck filler hole with 10W40 oil as factory recommendation (about 2.5 -2.8 L). Check everything ensuring they are tight enough then just start your bike for let it idle for abour 2-3 minutes while looking for any seeping from the drain hole of oil filter huosing, if any.
Once that is finish you are finish with the oil change job.
Good enough?

SOURCE: Neeed oil change information

I always use a fram filter from advance auto parts. As for oil, The older bike should not run synthetic oil. The clutches were not designed for it and can cause slipping. I use Valvoline 5w30. Should hold around 3 quarts. There should be a dipstick or site glass on the right side of the engine, almost behind the exhaust.

SOURCE: oil change procedure and oil type. steps in

the oil drain is underneath the transmission. There are two drain plugs. The engine oil drain is the plug closest to the left front of the oil pan. Remove the plug and drain the oil, replace the plug. Remove and discard the old oil filter replacing it with a new filter. Pour three quarts of oil into the oil pan at the front of the transmission. Check the oil level and make sure it comes up to the "OIL COLD" mark. Add as necessary to get the oil to this point. Your bike came with H-D brand Syn3 oil. This is a fully synthetic oil that carries an API rating of CG4 for use in diesel engines and the viscosity is 20W50.

Is it easy to change the oil filter ?

Yes its not very hard to replace the oil filter on mazda 6.You don't need a special tool. Use a 6mm allen to remove the filter drain plug. It will probably start to spin the filter housing. You can remove the housing by hand or with a regular oil filter wrench. ---------------- There is a step by step guide provided to replace oil filter on mazda 3.I am aware that yours is mazda 6,but still check the step by step guide to replace the oil filter on mazda 3.This will give you more help on replacing the oil filter. Click on the link and go through the guide with diagrams and instructions:---- http://robert.aitchison.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=Mazda3+DIY+Oil+Change --------------------- I hope this will help you.Thanks.Helpmech.

How to change engine oil and oil filter

Drain the oil out the bottom of the oil pan there is a plug its just a bolt be careful not to drain the tranmission fluid. after all oil is drained put plug back in. remove oil filter (probably goin to need oil filter wrench). put new oil filter in place of the old one put small amount of oil on the gasket on new oil filter this will help make it easier to remove next time. if you can fill new filter up with oil before installing this will prevent dry starting. fill motor with recomended oil type and amount. you can go to any auto parts store they will set you up with everything you need an tell you the correct amounts. They even sell dvds now that will give you step by step instructions if you need further help.

Just bought 2005 chrysler pacifica. need to know where oil plug is.what size wrench for oil plug.wher oil filter is . is there any special thing i need to know.

I recommend VERY Highly that you get the Haynes Repair manual on the vehicle. It will provide Step by step instructions for basic stuff like Oil Changes and Tune Ups and the intervals for these. As for you question. The oil Drain plug is located on teh oil pan at the bottom of the vehicle, The oil Filter is located on the Firewall side of the engine, and other than understanding how to properly install an oil Filter and to use the correct oil there isn't much to it. Oh, the oil drain plug should be a 13 or 14 mm.

Oil & filter change

If there is a Auto Zone around your area, you can get the oil and filter there with the step by step  instructions needed to get the job gone. There is a oil filter wrench for you to buy to remove the old oil filter, buy the oil filter cup that attaches to the ratchet, the other wrenches tend to crush the filters. Keep me posted be glad to answer any questions and give you instructions to the oil change procedure if Auto ZOne could not help you or there is not one around you.
