    Accidently added too much oil

    I used what little beast I had (fresh out of beer), it was not enough. Liquid wrench didn't work either. All I have is an 8 inch ratchet - I'm thinking about walking to the auto parts store to get a beefier ratchet or box end wrench.

    Accidently added too much oil

    Please excuse my idiocy. I just bought a used Mazda3 - when I checked the oil I thought it was low and I added about 2/3 of a quart before I realized that I wasn't reading the dipstick properly and it was already to the full line to start with. I guess the oil must have been changed recently...

    Protege5 longevity

    Hi - I'm thinking of buying a 2002 P5 with 90k miles on it - will this car get me to 200k (or farther)? It was very clean with no issues during my test drive. Practically felt like a new car to me. I think its still on the original clutch, I hope I won't have to replace that right off the bat...
