1.6 or 1.8 ??
 

how can i know if my Protege '90 is 1.6liter or 1.8liter ???

In the repair manual they talk about the oil dipstick.... but...

you guys got a better way to know it?

btw, it's SOHC.....

I thought that all SOHC were 1.6L. I could be wrong though.

i always thought that the soch was a 1.8, as well as the doch. i might be wrong, check your hood, sometimes under the hood it has your vehicle specs, and tells the engine size.

why don't you look at your VIN?

yeah or check your VIN.

Apparently they ARE both 1.8L. I looked at Groharlems site.

All 90-94 proteges have 1.8 liters. The dx pro is a sohc 1.8 and the lx is a doch 1.8

yeah thats pretty much what i said in my first post lol :) but i really have no idea about your old ass cars. :)

hmmmmmmmmm but if you look in the Haynes Repair Manual in page 1-6 there's a picture showing the engin oil dipstick location and where mine is..... there's a bubble saying it's 1.6L .........

About the VIN... I'll look tomorow and what should be written so i can know it's 1.6 or 1.8 ??

ok i found out about the VIN.... I did a search and got the description of each numbers....

so ok my vin is JM1BG2236L....... and what ever is after that...

so... the 3 means I got a Canadian 1.8 liter SOHC 2WD
and the L means it's 1990 ...

sooooooooooooo cool i'm not runing a little 1.6L lol I don't even know how the 1.6 runs but anyway...

well... thank you! you guys help me very well when I have questions about my car!

hey easy, :) i run a 1.6 litre, and im proud of it. glad we could help.
