If needed, jack the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 at factory points and support with jack stands (or use ramps). Never work under a vehicle held only by a jack.
Place the drain pan under the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 oil pan, remove the drain plug, and let the oil drain fully. Inspect the plug threads and replace the crush washer.
Remove the old filter on the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5, lightly oil the new filter gasket, and install hand-tight only. Do not use a wrench to finish the filter.
Reinstall the drain plug on the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 and torque to spec (~25 ft-lbs / check manual). Lower the vehicle, then add the correct oil type/amount through the fill cap using a funnel.
Start the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5, check for leaks under the engine, verify oil level on the dipstick/electronic gauge, and reset the oil-life monitor per the ownerβs manual.
