According to Gates Rubber and Preferred Components, two timing belt manufacturers, Mazda has several engines that are "interference-type" engines. On some Proteges, the 1.6 and 1.8 are safe, but the 2.0 (1991cc DOHC) most definitely will cause major damage if the timing belt breaks. Mazda recommends T-belt replacement every 60,000 miles on most of their engines, interference or not. The two belt manufacturers I mentioned above have details on engine specifications from all auto makers available on their websites.
What else can I help you with?
Is a 1999 Mazda 626 interference or noninterference?
Both the four cylinder and six cylinder engines are non-interference so if the timing belt breaks there will be no damage to the valves. The 1993-2001 four cylinder engines all use the same block and heads as do the six cylinder engines.

Is the Mazda 2.0l an interference engine?
I researched this as I own a Mazda Protege with a 2.0 DOCH engine. I found a file that list all interference engines and timing belt requirements. The Mazda 2.0 L is listed as a interfrence engine with a timing belt change listed at 105,000. I just changed my timing belt at 121,000. File that list engine can be found if you google (power grip interference engine)

Is the 2003 Mazda Protege an interference engine?
Yes, the 2003 Mazda Protege is equipped with an interference engine. In an interference engine, the timing of the valves and pistons is such that if the timing belt or chain fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves, potentially causing significant engine damage. Therefore, it's essential to maintain the timing belt and replace it according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule to prevent failure.
Are the Mazda rx8 interference engines?
The Mazda RX-8 is equipped with a Wankel rotary engine, which is a unique design that does not fall into the traditional categories of interference or non-interference engines commonly associated with piston engines. In a rotary engine, the design allows for the rotor to move without the risk of contact with other components in a way that would cause interference. Therefore, if a rotary engine fails, it generally does not lead to the catastrophic engine damage typical of interference piston engines.
When to change timing belt on 2003 Mazda?
