Torque values for oil cooler gasket replacement

leftysoftball · Dec 28, 2014

Hello,
I'm looking for the torque values for:

1. Oil cooler bolt to the oil filter assembly.
2. Four bolts that mount the oil filter assembly to the block.

I have both gaskets and i'm ready to go. After reading enough about new gaskets leaking, I wanted to be sure on the torque. Thanks!

I did this repair a few months ago- seems the aftermarket gasket packaging said 24 ft/lbs. I don't recall what the spec was for cooler to block, though. Your local Mazda dealer should be able to tell you that- free of charge!

Manual at http://www.mediafire.com/download/wg.../Mazda5_WM.zip
says 26.1- 29.4 ft/lbs for the big bolt. Unclear if this spec is for the old plastic frame with rubber insert gasket or the newer light blue gasket....did not see a torque value for the cooler body to engine block bolts, although it's likely there somewhere.

I’m late to this party. But, for anyone concerned, I did find the torque for the 4 bolts that hold the filter housing to the block on a Ford Cosworth instruction paper: 18ft-lbs, or 25 Nm.
