oil

What's up guys: So I installed a Prosport Performance 52mm Electric Oil Pressure Gauge (Amber/White) (216BFWAOP270PSI) in my MSP a little over 6 months back. The gauge ran fine for a month or two then started giving me weird readings. First, it would show oil pressure at 20-40 psi, (sometimes...

Guys, my p5 is getting very oil hungry recently. I think my rings and/or seals are going, not sure im not really a mechanic. I just took it on a 250 mile trip and it drank through about a quart of oil. Its to the point now that every full tank of gas I use goes a quart of oil. Any advice you...

How much torque for oil drain plug, oil filter & auto trans drain for 2013 Mazda5? I'm getting ready to do the first oil change on my new 2013 Mazda5 Sport with automatic transmission. Anybody have the torque specification for the oil drain plug? How tight do we turn the spin on oil filter...

My 2002 P5 is sick. - Loses about 1/2 Quart of oil every day, or every 40 miles. (lots of oil going somewhere) - Power wanes above 3500 rpm, you can feel very small waves of power/lack-of-power as it climbs through 4-5-6k rpm. - Fuel Economy is fine, about 28-30 mpg - Whisper of black smoke in...

So this is sad but it was my first own oil change on the p5 yesterday. I've done a lot of other work on her before but not an oil change just didnt seem worth it when before. But I got a torque wrench and everything. I was just going to let the people out there with not a lot of tools, like...

Hey ya'll I had two questions about oil from you more experienced guys. I actually have never done my own oil change but have installed my cai, header and exhaust, etc. and was looking on the forums about info. I just had a bad experience on stripping my dirt bikes drain bolt and I never did...

SO my car has been eating oil pretty quickly, even when im using thicker oil like 10-30 or 10-40. So im at 3,000 miles passed my last oil change and was thinking of things to do to make the car not be this oil hungry. So ive decided to switch out my oil pressure switch with some new thread...

About two weeks after I bought mine, I checked the oil level and it was a half quart low. I topped it off thinking the dealer just missed it. It's been another 5 months and 5000 miles and so far I've put in another half quart. There are no drips on my garage floor so I'm pretty sure it's not...

Anyone know the oil drain plug torque spec for second generation Mazda5's? A/T drain plug too? Thanks. J.

Alright. In my 03 Mazda Protege5, synthetic has always been used up until the last oil change, where conventional oil was used(due to lack of funds for more expensive oil). I'm about to hit the 3000mile mark(since last change) with conventional(I know it's bad to go over with conventional). I...

Sold my 2008 'Speed3 a few weeks ago. I just need to clear out some leftover parts. Cobb SF Intake - 40k miles (***SOLD***): Has a rub mark on the bottom and a little surface rust on the bracket. Comes with the Cobb license plate frame that I never used. OEM Filter Housing - 1k miles (Make...

Hey Guys, so this is my first oil change on this car, and im having trouble finding the oil filter on the car, i've searched up the location of it but, all it ever brings back is , "above the drain plug and to the side" but i reach up and fiddle around, and cant find it. anyone got any info or...

Yo yo, i have a 2002 protege5 with just over 200K what kind of engine oil would you recommend? Cheers, Dylan

Can't seem to find the oil pressure switch on the mazda tribute 2001,thought it would be the motor oil opening but nope,then i thought by the oil filter but nope,now im thinking maybe on the oil pump but i really don't have a clue...help me

Best Oil Filter? What do you think the best is? When I say best, I mean a balance of filtration capability combined with high flow capability. Ones like the Baldwin-Hastings (whom make Amsoil filters) are kings of filtration but I have heard they stop flow and to just use a cheapie. Also, what...

I used Shell Rotella Heavy Duty 5w40 synthetic base motor oil in my 03p5. I notice on the side of the bottle it says that it meets service designation SM but the owner's manual designates SG, SH, SJ, SL or ILSAC. It looks like the oil is made for industrial applications. Should I get it out...
