1990 Mazda Protege Oil Change

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1990 Mazda Protege? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 1990 Protege’s oil should be changed according to Mazda’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Protege in the above table. Outside of Mazda-recommended oil change intervals, your Protege may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mazda recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mazda Protege. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1990 Mazda Protege motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mazda has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1990 Protege.
