5w20
yes all the dx lx and es proteges have the same engine. atleast that year does
3.5 quarts of oil
10w30
2.5 quarters
Cost for me was 120, but that is the high end. One thing to be sure of is to take it to a Mazda garage. Mazda protege's have been known to hate non-mazda belts and cause high pitched squealing after replacement.
For a 2002 Mazda Protege 5, the recommended oil is a 10w 30. 5w30 is recommended in temps below 30 degrees f.
Take it out and put in a new one.......
dextron mercron
just take it to the top it has and over fill bottel
the haynes book says take it to a mechanic
Mazda dx what? Protege, 626, B-truck?? Protege capacity would be 2.83 quarts or 2.68 liters. Mazda 626 manual trans would take 2.9 quarts or 2.7 liters.
Follow the upper rad hose from the radiator to the engine and you will find a housing thas has the thermostat. Take the housing off and when you reinstall the thermsotat, make sure the spring is toward the engine.
