So I did my first oil/filter change on my new-to-me 2011 GT. I was use to doing them on my 2005 for the last 8 years; this was a whole other thing. Followed the DIY and even jacked the back of the car higher than the front. The warm oil just kept draining for a good 20 minutes! My question is, given the robust nature of the sump guard, is it a structural panel that requires those 7 bolts to be torqued to a certain spec?

So after doing some research, I found that Mazda apparently updated the 2010MY cooling system capacity from 9.4 to 10.6 qts on the manual (and similar on the automatic). Does anyone have an answer as to what components were enlarged? An increase of 1.2 quarts is fairly sizable.

So I may have found the answer to my own question. Right from the Mazda RX-8 2009 MY Service Highlights it lists the cooling capacity as 10.6 US qts for the Series2 MT. The comment I highlighted where they say the cooling capacity was being changed for the 2010 MY likely refers to correcting a spec that was published incorrectly as 9.4 qts for the 2009 MY launch.
