How do you change the oil in a Mazda 323?
For most Mazdas, you can wrap an old belt around the oil filter and unscrew it by hand. If you can’t do this, see our parts page to find a Mazda 323 oil filter wrench. If your 323 is too low to the ground to access your drain plug and oil filter, be sure to use jack stands and safe jacking procedures before getting under your 323.
What kind of oil does a Mazda 5 use?
We have a Mazda 5.0 2.0 petrol using oil, and I am trying to understand why. For years the car sometimes struggles to start, it always does, but can take quite a lot of cranking for the engine to actually fire after shaking the car for 2 or 3 seconds prior to starting.
What’s the compression ratio on a Mazda 5?
The 2.0 L (1998 cc) version has 10.0:1 Compression Ratio, an 87.5 mm (3.4 in) bore and shares the 83.1 mm (3.3 in) stroke of the 1.8. The LF-VD was also equipped with DISI direct injection and a higher compression ratio for improved efficiency in the JDM and EDM markets.

Why is my Mazda 323 hard to start?
Sounds like that is exactly the problem. If the distributor cap cracks, it can allow either moisture to get in or sparks to come out. Both cause problems. If moisture gets in, it will cause the car to be difficult to start until the cap dries. If spark gets out, it will cause the engine to sputter.
How much does it cost to replace engine cap on Mazda 323?
If moisture gets in, it will cause the car to be difficult to start until the cap dries. If spark gets out, it will cause the engine to sputter. The cap only costs maybe $20 at your local part store and is very easy to replace. You should also replace the rotor at the same time as the cap.
