AIR FILTER

Refer to

scheduled maintenance information

for the appropriate

intervals for changing the air filter element.

When changing the air filter element, use only the Mazda air filter
element listed. Refer to

Mazda part numbers

in this chapter.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or

personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air

cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.

Changing the air filter element

1. Release the clamps that secure the air filter housing cover.

2. Carefully separate the two

halves of the air filter housing.

3. Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.

4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or

debris and to ensure good sealing.

5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter

element edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could
cause filter damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not
properly seated.

6. Replace the air filter housing cover and secure the clamps.

Note:

Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe

engine damage. The customer warranty may be voided for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
