Oil Hose Installation 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.

NOTE:

If reusing the hose, install the new hose clamp exactly on the mark left by the previous hose clamp. Then apply force to the hose clamp in the direction of the arrow in order to fit the clamp in place.

Align the marks, and slide the oil hose onto the oil pipe until it is fully seated as shown.
Install the hose clamp.
