No dramas mate
Very helpful, thank you.
Awesome 👍
Can’t wait to get my ute up the shed ;)
Thanks buddy just finished doing it on my Mazda
Sweet mate hope all went well
How did you get that last bolt off of the block? The fourth bolt to get the housing off? I can’t get a wrench or a socket on it. It keeps hitting the house. I can’t get access to.
I think i used a 3/8 drive single hex 10mm socket or 10mm ring spanning
Let me know how you go
@@downtheshedwithbyron gonna try again this weekend. The problem i was having was the socket was hitting the filter housing and wouldn’t allow me to get a straight on approach. Spoke with my brother who works for caterpillar as a chief mechanic and he told me to grind down one of my wrenches. The thickness of my wrenches won’t allow it to get in the bolt. Hope it works. Called the Mazda dealer and they want $1,000 to replace the whole cooler. I told them all it needed was a gasket. Crooks.
Yeah sweet hopefully you get iy
Very nice video. Thank you

Do I need to drain all the oil when I remove the gasket?
Nar can do it with out draining it mate
I don’t think I can get that large bolt on top with just a twist of the fingers lol how’d you get it loose?!
Gday mate
Haha maybe try using a shocket and extension from the top see how you go
Hello, I have a 2011 Mazda CX7 with 130k miles, no issues until I noticed that I ran through 10 quarts of oil ( full synthetic) over 2500 miles. The car is running smooth, no loss of power, no overheating, no oil smell. I did notice some oil around the right side of the engine underneath the engine cover, around the large hose at both ends ( sorry don't know the name of it, intercooler turbo hose ? ) Any ideas would be great, thanks !
Sounds like maybe a turbo seal
Just take the hose off and have a look
@@downtheshedwithbyron thx for your reply. There is some oil in the large hose that connects to the intercooler for sure. I took it off a few days ago to inspect it. Tomorrow I will remove the intercooler and inspect that for oil as well.
Does that part fit a 2008 mazda 5? I can’t seem to find correct one? Great video
Hello not sure mate
Hi Byron is $700 fair price for the oil cooler housing? They told me there is a crack and need to be replace
Im not sure what they are worth but its about an hour or so job in the shop
My CX7 turbo coolant line has shot itself still runs and drives but loses coolant from the turbo coolant line is this an easy fix??
Hose replacement easy on most cars
Haha on a CX7 its more getting your hands in there
Great video mate.
Cheers mate 👍
Is this the 2.5 or 2.3 Turbo?
2.3L mate
@@downtheshedwithbyron thanks from Massachusetts USA. My daughter had the 2.5 looks to be the same oil cooler setup. The video is helpful.
what size is the filter tool.
Hey mate
Ryco 04-08
Haha i forgot to put it in the description
Dirty 👍🏼up
Toss that junk. And get the updated oil filter housing to use a regular screw on filter. Is what you should have been showing.
Thats a mint idea mate
Have you got a part number or good brand you would recommend
Cheers Byron
@@downtheshedwithbyron L311-14-311A there is a few different part numbers all the same part. eBay has them the cheapest probably. About half what the dealership would want.
@@downtheshedwithbyron 2010 and newer I think they stopped using the cartridge style
