Did you remove the other side as well look at the other side it may be up top but look at the other side.

have the starter checked if it was the key you wouldn't get nothing at all

yes,but its cheaper to buy your own filter at autozone and take it with you

Is this a diesel? I just changed my oil and oil filter. You have to remove the plastic engine top cover first and you will see the oil filter in the front right. Black with hex nut on top (my 1 1/4 AF socket fitted). You have to disconnect the bracket holding some wiring. Pull the wiring forward to access the nut on top of the filter. Undo and remove/replace filter.
Under the car you will find a small hatch in the underside plastic cover held in place by three 10 mm bolts. Remove this to access the 19 mm drain plug. Drain old oil and refill with 4 ltrs 5/30 fully synthetic. Top up if necessary after running engine but DO NOT overfill.
The fuel filter is on the bulkhead at the back of the engine on the right side. I wont be changing that for a while!

remove the negative cable @ battery for 30 seconds to see if it clears the check engine light ,if it doesnt it will need to be cleared with a scanner-warning your factory radio will loose the function code when you remove the battery cable,make sure you have the code otherwise your radio will not work

check the owners manual or read the oil fill cap. if you can't find the oil specs i would use 5w30

YOU HAVE TO LOOK IN OWNERS MANUAL OR FACTORY MANUAL IN GLOVE COMPARTMENT.IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT TYPE TRANSMISSION YOUR VECHICLE USE.IF YOU DONT HAVE A OWNERS MANUAL YOU CAN CALL MITSUBISHI SERVICE DEPARTMENT.THEY WILL LOOK IT UP AND TELL YOU.

I would try to tighten the valve covers. If they seep a bit because of loose little bolts that is directly above the exhaust manifold which would give a whiff of smoke.

Hello. 4.2 quarts or 4 liters of oil. Regards, Joe
PS kindly rate my answer. thank you.

Go to an automotive parts store like O'Reilly that loans code readers. This will give you the problem code and description so you know what is going on :)

remove the battery terminals then re connect them.

Yes it is. On your newer vehicles the factory has set your oil change light to come on at 5k, due to the technology in semi synthetic oils. Mazda uses a semi senthetic oil from the factory. I still recommend changing your oil every 3k. You may also consult your owners manual for the recommended service interval and adhere to it. As long as you adhere to manufacturer recommendations and keep your oil change reciepts, you should be ok if anything were to happen.

yes I would look in a salvage yard for the seat maybe ebay.com all the bolt holes should already be in the car body so unless you are picky about exact matching seat you could do this your self around $200.00-300.00

the front pads got overheated and cracked causing the grind noise when the pads got hot, i resurfaced the rotors and installed new front pads and now the noise is gone
