Sarap makakita ng malinis na throttle [emoji16]

How's the performance with Zic oil so far?

Kaya nga eh. Unang spray pa lang dami na dumi.

Ok naman Zic so far. Been using it on and off since it became readily available online.

OK lang ba magpachange oil sa petron? I got stuck sa province and wala ditong maayos na shop/mazda casa.

Pretty straightforward lang naman change oil, remove the bolt and oil filter, drain the oil, return bolt and new filter, and refill with oil to correct dipstick level.

Make sure you get the Skyactiv-specific(designed w/o the anti-drainback valve) PE01-14-302A. MAZDA OIL FILTER for Mazda CX5 / Mazda 2 (ALL) / Mazda 3 SKYACTIV / Mazda CX3
Don't use aftermarket substitute filters. Most got ADBV.
Oil is Fully Synthetic ACEA A5/B5 5w-30.

The Greenhills promo starts at ₱2,990. That's the minimum charge.

So far sa mga free PMS ko sa Mazda, hindi ko nakita kung ano yung oil brand na ginagamit nila. Gusto ko yung pinapanood ko yung oil change kaso sasabihan ka naman na magantay sa owner's lounge.

For my next PMS I'll just visit an ex-Mazda mechanic from the Mazda 3 Philippines FB group

Any mechanic who knows how to drain and put in oil will do. Just buy the 5w-30 oil and genuine mazda oil filter.

I am very fortunate that I am able to have my hands get dirty whenever I visit dealership.

Regarding the oil, they said that they are using Shell but I just saw a cut out container. I asked about it and they said that they have a barrel of oil as it is cheaper to buy it instead of buying small containers. I just can't complain but the container is "dirty". At least, dirty for me.

If I may add, I already installed the Fumoto valve for easy oil change. I believe that this is a luxury item as I seldom see a stripped thread but with my clumsy hands, I might.

In our CR-V 98, I needed to replace the drain plug as the head became round. For a twenty year old car, I'm not complaining.

And I finally "graduated" from Yojin! I made a deal with those tech guys to "visit" me for a small fee, if I don't feel like having sweaty armpits.

Kind people draw kindness. That's how the world works. You're a blessing to many, brother Bossing....even more to women, I hear the chatter on here.[emoji4][emoji120]

Would prefer to do a DIY with changing my car's engine oil, but with all these casa laying off mechanics due to low sales, I think its best to support these mechanics by availing their services.

Also, for DIY oil change, how do you properly dispose the used oil?

Got drums for it.... lotsa uses for that in our industry.

I got to agree. And they won't charge me for a hefty price so I just "collected" tools for them to use.

Same question, I don't know where to dispose it so I'll leave it with the tech guys.

I don't know about that! If it were so, this particular lady would have not stopped calling me. We would have still exchanged messages until 2 in the morning.

You got to hear her sweet, melting voice...

Dealership Parts Dept sell the filters at slightly higher price. Oil, you'll need about 4.2-4.3L ACEA A5/B5 Full Synthetic 5w-30. So, buy 5L. Check online. Lotsa brands satisfy those specs. Some dealerships sell, too. Just bring your own container. I recall back when 5w-30 FS wasn't as easy to find in my neckodawoods, I'd run to the Bimmer dealership w/ empty oil containers. They sold Castrol Edge/Shell Helix Ultra Pro by the liter then... from their drums in the service bay.
