Yeah!
The Mazda V6 oil filter is suppose to fit just fine. It's in the FAQ! Quote from the FAQ: Something that you should also know (regardless of which generation and engine you have): for better filtration capabilities and possibly longer filtration life, you can use a filter from a Mazda V6 engine. You can also try the Corvette ZR-1 filter which is also said to be a direct fit. Remember when you are using a larger oil filter, you will have to add a bit more oil into your engine! There is only 1 kind of Mazda V6 oil filter at the Mazda dealers, so there is no need to figure out which one works with the Protege. The larger oil filter costs the same as the (original) factory size one I need to try that for my next oil change |
ah, a good thing to know. thanks for checkin the faq pro2ndgen. perhaps i should've looked at it first:)

would using synthetic do better for my engine cuz my oil seems to be pretty crappy (regular mobil 10W40). it seems that i have to change it more often. how does AMSOIL stack up to the competition? i was also thinkin of mobil 1.

These are most of the reason why Synthetic is better:
Longer engine life, less friction...better cold start Viscosity is more stable in cold climate and at high rpm Last longer between oil change (8000km/5000miles) |
Yeah me. :)
It's good to change at every 60000km(37282miles) they said on the packaging. I changed mine around 110 000km(68 350miles). If you have rough idle, and noisy start-up for too long and oil getting dirty too fast, it might be it. To check it, just let run the car on idle 850rpm and while it's running, unplug the hose with the pcv valve on. Their should a issing noise and if you put on/ put off your finger on the end, you should feel the vacuum and a ear clicking noise. If not of this happen, it's time to change it. |
get this
i'm trying to change my oil yesterday, and the damn filter doesn't come off. i try for a damn hour to get the thing off, but it never budges. so now my car is just chillin outside with the old filter on. since i have t go home on wed., i just put in some oil to hold off until i go to my mechanic to see if he can get it off. but damn, what a bitch that was!! :mad:

Did you use an oil wrench? Remember don't worry about crushing it 'cause that old filter will crush very easily just take it off!

i think it is because it is so damn cold here that the thing is just stuck. now i know that oil doesn't freeze like water but it is like 6 degrees here. on top of that my hands froze to death.
