Oil Pan Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Set the wiring harness and harness bracket out of the way to access the transaxle upper fitting bolts.
  2. Before loosening the bolts securing the engine and transaxle, put a mark on each transaxle bolt and the transaxle (to determine when they have been turned one full turn), then loosen the bolts one full turn (360 °).

    NOTE: * Loosen the bolts in the order of top to bottom.
