Engines
1999 to 2001, 1.6 L, ZM-DE
Capacity, with oil filter change: 3.2 L (3.4 US qts)
1999 to 2000, 1.8 L, FP-DE
2001 to 2003, 2.0 L, FS-DE (including MP3 and P5)
2003, 2.0 L, FS-DET, Mazdaspeed Turbo
Capacity, with oil filter change: 3.5 L (3.7 US qts)
Viscosity, all engines and models: 5W-30 or 10W-30.
According to Mazda, "Engine oil viscosity or thickness, has an effect on fuel economy and cold-weather operation (starting and oil flow). Low-viscosity engine oils can provide improved fuel economy and cold-weather performance. But high temperature weather conditions require higher-viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehicle will operate in before the next oil change." Then select the recommended viscosity from one of the above two grades.
In the past, for these engines Mazda provided various temperature ranges within which a choice of viscosity could be made. The latest tendency seems to be to allow the individual driver to make this decision, within stated limits, based on a personal assessment of his or her own driving environment. Keep in mind that modern, high-tech synthetic oils make extended viscosity ranges possible that were beyond the scope of mineral oils, and lower viscosity oils not only decrease fuel consumption but additionally provide a small HP increase (both due to the reduction in friction HP).
Oil Filters
All listed engines use the same oil filter, Mazda part # B6Y2-14-302-P1
As an alternative to OEM for those wanting a filter with a larger internal volume, the type used in the Mazda 626 V6 can be substituted: Mazda part # G6Y0-14-302-P1
Engine Oil and Filter Change Intervals
Schedule 1 Maintenance: Normal driving conditions (U.S.A. only)
7,500 miles (12,000 km)
Schedule 2 Maintenance: Unique driving conditions (For U.S.A. unique conditions and Canada/Puerto Rico all conditions)
5,000 miles (8,000 km)
According to the FSM, Unique driving conditions include:
Repeated short-distance driving
Driving in dusty conditions
Driving with extended use of brakes
Driving in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used
Driving on rough or muddy roads
Extended periods of idling or low-speed operation
Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or extremely humid climates
Power Steering Fluid (All Models)
Capacity: 1.1 US Quart (1.0 L)
Type: ATF M-III or equivalent (e.g. Dexron III)
In the next post I will list some 100% synthetic oils suitable for these engines.
Happy Motoring!
