Directly under the intake manifold on the passenger side of the engine. If you have thin arms, it is possible to reach it from above the engine.
Otherwise, if you remove the passenger side tire, you will find it there.
Just underneath of the engine.
It fits a 2002 Mazda Miata; 4 cylinder
A 1999 Mazda Miata requires 4.0 quarts of oil.

4 quarts
what oil filter does mazda 121 uses
5W30. The engine in the Sportage is from Mazda, and based on the same engine used in the Miata. Use a full synthetic 5W30 with a good oil filter. There isn't as much Sportage info out there as there is Miata, so look that up if you need more info.
It is on the passenger side of the engine under the intake manifold. When I first located it, I wasn't sure it was possible to get a oil filter wrench on it, but you can with your left hand leaning over the passenger side fender.
3.8 to 4 quarts of engine oil.
The Mazda Miata air conditioning drain to can be found on the bottom of the air conditioner compressor. The drain to runs to the bottom of the oil pan.
Miata's tend to tick a little.You can try 5-30 oil at your next oil change but it's unusual for a Miata not to tick a little at start up.
