dude, you are my hero. THANK YOU FOR THE LINK, the file hosting, the manual, you name it.

Burning this to disk just as soon as it DL's

Awesome, thanks for posting........

Brilliant - I don't suppose you can do the "DY" model Mazda 2 can you (I know it's not sold in the US)

RE: DIY - Q&A
 

Wish I could get a 2. I'll see if I can find a manual.

RE: DIY - Q&A
 

We recently bought our 2007 Mazda 5 and I would like to have a copy of that manual. It's not working for me from that DL site (even though I registered and all). Is there another link or mirrored site where I can get it?

Getting ready to do my 1st oil change on it and already noticed the filter is different than what I am used to.

THANX!!!

RE: DIY - Q&A
 

Does your 5 have the cartridge filter or a spin-on type?
Perhaps I can help.

RE: DIY - Q&A
 

The one I picked up at the autoparts is an STP cartridge. I have seen these on BMWs and it's a mess doing them, though I have never done one. They say it's not as messy and that it will be obvious to me, when I go to do it. Would still like to get familiar with the process and what to watch out for.

I also have a couple of other project cars, so am fairly mechanically inclined. Still wouldn't mind having the factory service manual handy.

RE: DIY - Q&A
 

Yeah, well don't let me disparage you but it's still a pretty messy job.
1) OK, remove the center splash shield. If you're wise you will figure out where the oil filter housing is in relation to the factory inspection hole in it and increase the size of that hole to include the oil filter at this point. That way you do not have to deal w/the splash shield every time.
2) There is an aluminum plug w/an o-ring at the bottom of the filter housing to help make the job a little less messy. Remove it to drainmost of the oil from the housing.
3) There is a special tool, a wrench or socket that fits the housing itself. If like me you do not have one you may CAREFULLY use a soft strap wrench. My own is made of treated canvas and as long as I'm careful w/it, no problems so far. Remember that the housing is plastic so be careful todistribute the pressure as much as possible using this method.
4) Remove the cartridge and o-rings and replace them w/the new ones. Be sure to use a little oil on them before you reinstall the housing or drain plug.
5) Add oil to the filter and the housing to... well you know.
6) Screw the filter housing back on by hand until it's snug. Do Not Over tighten it.Besides, it's not necessary. It seal s pretty easily.
7) Fill the engine w/4 qts of fresh oil, start the engine and check for leaks.
8) Shut the engine off, wait a few minutes and check the level. It will probably be about 1 pint low. Top it off and you're done!!

I'm being ridiculously detailed here and I do not mean to be condescending in the least.If you are mechanically inclined and have worked on cars before, much of this will be almost second nature to you, I'm sure.

Does anyone have this manual for download somewhere? I can't get the link in the first post to work.

The file's been deleted because it wasn't accessed for a long time.
If anyone has a copy, please reply to this post as I'd like a copy please!

ditto.

I'll like to get a copy.

flipside7722 thanks verymuch for the mazda 5 workshop manual thats helped me out alot, it has narrowed down what i was looking for i have premacy sport 2.0 VIN jmzcp19s201348859.

As you no doubt can tell thats not the same as the maxda 5 but so much closer than any other manual i`ve found... would you know where i would find the exact manual for it??

there are very little of these about but before i start anywork i need to make sure that it really is just an early version of a mazda5, the local dealer is not exactly happy telling me anything about it would rather just take my cash..

Hi Guys
Trying to get my hands on a service manual for my Mazda 5 (UK spec) as theres a rattle in the door and I want to strip it back and sort the annoying thing. I use a macbook and the link above is proving troublesome to download and access. Can anyone help. I don't really have access to a windows machine so would like some help getting my hands on a service manual. I also want to be able to strip other bits and bobs off the car and make them more sound proof so I'm looking for something very comprehensive. If someone has "one" and it "isn't allowed" to be posted on an open forum is there any chance you could PM me or email me a copy. I would be ever so grateful as the rattle is right in my earhole where the seatbelt slider is and the slider door at the bottom.
Thanks
Chris

Hi I too am looking for the Mazda 5 Repair Manual, I have tried the link above but the Badongo Site says the file has been deleted as it has been inactive for over 30days.
Is there any other way of getting the file. Many thanks for anyones help.

I downloaded it, I'll have it available soon (trying to find out how to put it somewhere where others can download it).

try this link make sure to use IE. Mazda5_WM.zip

I can't download either. I have an '08 and just lost the thermostat (Phoenix summers will quickly point out thermostat issues...). It looks like it is connected about halfway down the passenger side of the radiator, but I am looking for pictures/information to confirm. Thanks.

Did you try that last link I posted? The FSM is available at nopistons.com.

So it's been a few months now and was wondering if anyone had managed to find a manual for a Mazda premacy I have a 2003 and ready to change the clutch any ideas?

Seriously people, look at post #22. It's right there.

Hi.. That posting does not seem to be there anymore (more than 30 days), wondering if you could post it there again? I sure could use it right now for my wife's Mazda 5 2006...

It is highly unlikely that link will ever work again or be reposted as it was most likely a link to a manual which violated the copyrights of the manual's authors.

Does post #22 not work? When you click the link, just scroll up to the first post in that thread.
