I was using the how to I found (mazda 3 forums): http://**********************/showthread.php?t=339596
I removed the 4 bolts holding the old oil filter assembly. If you have done this before you probably remember there is one bolt that is hard to remove thanks to this hose. I read somewhere not to remove this hose as it contains coolant. Anyway now the oil filter is hanging there suspended by these two black hoses connected to this black box looking thing above the filter (see pic).
The how to doesn't mention this nor do i even see it in the pictures. A little help please!! What do I do with this black box / hoses?
