Today I had the oil changed in the wifes Mazda 3 with the 2.3L engine. This engine has the cartridge type filter, which the housing is built into the bottom of the engine. You have to remove a plastic wind cover to get to it.
I had the oil change done by a Kwik Kar Penzoil place. Should have done it myself, got lazy and pressed for time...if you want it done right....
The guy was done real quick so I questioned him if he changed the oil filter... I know he didnt have time to remove and replace the panel. He says yeah i did. I say "show me the one you removed." He says its in a barrel I am not getting it for you".
Alas I gave up and paied.
Anyone here familier with this engine? Will I loose the crankcase oil by just removing the filter?
