Do I need a oil filter wrench to change oil on 2008 Mazda3?

Jul 17, 2008 by Thoreau | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

Going to change oil on this car for the first time. Do i need a wrench to get the oil filter off, or can I use any old filter wrench?? Also don't need a gauge to put it back on do I?
I meant do i need a specific type of filter wrench?????

you may need a specific wrench, or oil filter cap/cup, to remove the filter, depending on engine size. If my memory serves me correctly some of engines in the Mazda3 are the type that take a cartridge filter instead of a regular spin on filter. Check
