I also think of sound dampening that little tin can of a car. What’s left to do? Change brake fluid, 2 new tires, sway bar links, seat belt, CD player, keep spraying the trunk lock. I cleaned the trunk area and plugged the holes with foam package material. I could also see where it came from: there were two plugs missing at the wheel wells. When I looked at the spare tire I found lots of road dust in the trunk under the carpet. I use regular unleaded with a shot of Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment. Now the Check Engine Light went off.įuel economy has improved from 33.8 mpg with the first tank to 35 mpg with the third tank of gas (at least 60% highway, AC on). I cleaned the MAF sensor, checked the intake hose for vacuum leaks and was getting ready to check the O2 sensor. Three of them are just below specification. I have changed the air filter, looked at the spark plugs and gaped them properly, checked the resistance of the injectors (11, 11, 11, 12 Ohms). The AC appeared to be completely discharged. There is just a little noise from the front end over bumps most likely caused be worn sway bar links. The clutch feels fine, and the shifts are “scratch free”. It runs almost like new (I used to have a 323). The exterior was looking fine with only some rust around the rear wheel wells and on the underside. 1998 Mazda PROTEGE recommended synthetic oil and filter Best recommended synthetic oil, filter, transmission fluid for my 1998 Mazda PROTEGE AMSOIL is the pioneer of synthetic oil used in cars in the US. That is just enough stuff to make our commutes and runs enjoyable. I liked its features: AC, power windows, locks and mirrors, cruise control, stereo, 5 speed manual, cloth seats, tachometer, 2 air bags, interval wipers. In the trunk there was a tote with car wax, tow strap, jumper cables, spare fuses and a fancy spray nozzle for the garden hose that said about the previous owner: “I loved my Protégé!” I plan to do everything myself with their help.
#1998 mazda protege how to
the mini van and my boys can learn driving the stick shift and how to maintain a vehicle. I just bought this car end of July, 09 with 147000 miles on the clock. It is powerful enough to keep up with traffic, but a heavy load will keep you in the slow lane or force you to run high RPMs. The outside rear view mirrors a little too small. The trunk is big enough for a grocery-getter. Space in the front is adequate and tight in the rear seats. The suspension is a little bouncy, but comfortable enough. It is a bit noisy inside in particular at highway speeds. This is a small runabout that is fun to drive. There is nothing pretentious about the Protégé. The foam grip on the upper sector of the steering wheel is detached from the steel rim, but it’s in one piece. When you change the headlight on your Protege, it is important to not touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers because the oil from your fingertips will cause that part of the bulb to burn hotter, which significantly shortens the life of the bulb.Trunk lock does not turn. If your Protege has this type of bulb, we do not recommend that you attempt to change it yourself.
These bulbs have a very high voltage that runs through them, even if the battery is disconnected. Some Mazdas have high intensity discharge headlights, sometimes referred to as xenon lights. In some Mazdas, the highbeam is the same bulb as the headlight and it is possible for the highbeam to work, but the headlight be burnt out even if they are the same bulb (and vise versa). Changing both headlight bulbs on your Protege at the same time will allow both bulbs to have the same intensity and prevent the new headlight bulb from appearing brighter than the bulb on the opposite side. Headlights grow dimmer by up to 20% over time and eventually burn out - for this reason, we recommend changing your headlights in pairs.
The video above shows you to replace the headlight in your 1995 Mazda Protege.
