Try your owner's manual. Or just crawling under and taking a look.

ProTip: It's not a conventional screw-on filter.

Well, the filter housing is pretty unique looking, so why not just crawl under your car and look around until you see it?

under the car, front of the engine block, middle of that. black cap with an allen head drain plug in it. the drain plug is straight back from that. oil fill plug is that big red piece of bling under the hood on the pasangers side of the engine it says mazdaspeed on it. oil goes in there 6 qts to be exact. and then on the front of the block middle of it there is this yellow ring thats attached to the dip stick. you have to pull it out cleer it of oil then reinsert all the way then when you pull it out the second time it will read correctly.
