Re: Tranny fluid
I use Red Line MT-90 gear oil. You can get transaxle oil fill and drain plug sealing washers from your mazda dealer. The part no. is: 9956-41-800. The socket wrench size for the fill and drain plug bolts is 23 mm.02 DX Millenium Red - The Penultimate Driving Machine

Boricua,
Good point! I honestly don't know. You had better check it out before you end up buying the wrong part. Sorry.

hey, no prob! I'm going to check to see if they still even make them at the dealership. but i wonder why we have to purchase a new washer every time we do the tranny fluid. this will be my first time, thats why i don't know.'96 LX baby

Re: tranny
Four quarts seems too much. According to the FSM, the 02 manual transaxles take 2.83 US quarts. Unless, of course, the oil capacity for the 2nd gens is much greater than that of the 3rd gens.

WTF? going from 2.8 to 4 is a big discrepancy. which one is it? and can i get redline at a local store or do i have to buy it online?
also, i was looking at the manual and i'm still unclear as to where exactly i refill the fluid at. also my manual is kind of ghetto and i;m not quite sure where the drain plug is. i'm guessing its to the left of the oil pan more towards the drivers side, but i'm not sure.Last edited by Boricua; 10-23-2003, 04:47 PM.'96 LX baby

Boricua,
You can e-mail Red Line for a dealer near you. I did that and found one just 8 miles from my house. When I changed my oil, I put in just under 3 quarts. Any more and it would start running out of the fill hole. I am sure this is the right amount. Also, make sure you use MT-90 as this is the correct weight for the protege when using Red Line.
