Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Oil Cooler [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
-
The oil cooler constantly maintains maximum ATF performance in the transaxle by maintaining an optimum ATF temperature which has the effect of achieving reduced fuel consumption.
Construction/Operation
-
The oil cooler performs the following operations according to the ATF temperature condition:
-
Heating function: Warms the ATF using the radiator coolant to promote an earlier increase in the ATF temperature when its temperature is low. As a result of the earlier temperature increase, the ATF viscosity decreases which reduces drag in the transaxle.
-
Cooling function: Cools the ATF using the radiator coolant to maintain optimum conditions and prevent ATF expansion and deterioration.
Oil Cooler Removal/Installation
WARNING:
Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and
wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.

Oil Cooler
Purpose, Function
The oil cooler routes engine oil and engine coolant through the interior
and disperses the engine oil heat using the engine coolant. As a result, the
oil temperature is ...

Exhaust System
Purpose, Outline
A 4-2-1 exhaust system has been adopted which reduces residual gas in the
cylinders using the scavenging effect and contributes to a high compression
ratio.
The loop structure of the exhaust pipes for the 4-2-1 system takes up less
space.
Structural Vie ...
Mechanical
Outline
The sliding resistance*1 has been reduced by:
the adoption of a rocker arm (built into needle roller bearing)
reducing load on the valve spring
narrowing down the crankshaft journal
optimizing the piston skirt shape

Oil Strainer
Purpose, Function
The oil strainer suctions the engine oil in the oil pan using the oil pump
vacuum. The engine oil is filtered by the internal filter at that time.
Construction
The oil strainer is installed on the suction port of the oil pump.
The oil strain ...
