Changing the oil pan on a 1999 Mazda Protege typically takes about 3 to 5 hours, depending on your mechanical skill level and whether you encounter any complications, such as rusted bolts or other obstructions. The process involves draining the oil, removing the old pan, cleaning the surfaces, and installing the new pan with a proper sealant or gasket. It's important to ensure all components are properly reassembled and to refill the engine with fresh oil after the job is done.

If you have 100,000 miles or more it is time to change it or get it checked by a mechanic. I have a Mazda protege 2000 and it is on the left side of the engine by my belts. I had a leak near there and the mechanic took off the cap and my belt needed replacement. If your belt breaks on you it could damage your engine and cost more in the long run. Be safe and get it checked out. there is no way of telling but by looking at it
