RX-7 OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

YEAR(S): All RX-7 Engines
MANUFACTURER: Mazda
MODELS: RX-7
ISSUE: OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT
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.
