RX-7 OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

YEAR(S): All RX-7 Engines

MANUFACTURER: Mazda

MODELS: RX-7

ISSUE & TIP

The oil filter is mounted face down on Mazda RX-7 engines. This makes filter replacement an unnecessarily messy job. To cut down on the spilled oil, punch two holes in the top of the filter to let the filter drain into the crankcase. Remove the drain plug, then let the filter drain while the crankcase drains. Now you can remove an empty filter rather than a full one (due to the check valve inside the filter). No more mess filters dripping all over the top of the engine.
