NOT A TRACTOR
Changed the oil and flushed the coolant in my Mazda 3. Hooray 60k maintenance interval!

I spent a bit this morning messing around with trying to get a floor jack under the car to put it up on jack stands for the oil bit. Eventually I gave up and picked up a set of ramps. That made life easier.

The oil filter housing came off pretty easily once I had the correct wrench. Only took me three tries to get the right one. First one was a piece of that did nothing. Second was the right size, but wrong number of notches or whatever. The third fit well, and only slipped a couple times before getting the thing to turn.
