Ah well its a special unit that the fuel pump sits inside, and can be found under the back seat. You don't need to change it until well over 100,000kms or more, it used to be 80k but I think last time I checked it had moved to 120k.

120K was what I was told when I spoke with Mazda about this time last year.

it should have the service periods in the car's user manual

Manual states 80K from memory, but it was shifted due to the effort required and it not needing to be done so early.

Check out page 15 from section 01-14 of the service manual on how the filter is assembled:
