AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

Refer to the service maintenance section for the appropriate intervals for
changing the air filter element.

When changing the air filter element, only use a Genuine Mazda air filter
element.

WARNING: Don’t drive without an air filter. This could result
in excessive engine wear.

Changing the air filter element

1. Loosen the clamp that secures the air inlet tube to the engine air

filter cover and disconnect the tube from the cover.

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

3. Carefully separate the two halves of the air filter housing.

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

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

debris and to ensure good sealing.

6. 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.

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

8. Replace the air inlet tube and secure the clamp.

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.
