Hi, not sure what type of oil i should be using, I bought this car second hand without the owners manual - is there another source where i can find this info or does anyone know which type I should use?
Thanks!

pretty much everything will be OK with 5w-30, if you want to keep this car in good shape for as long as you have it switch to synthetic next oil change , if you are doing hi way driving next summer try to find some 5w-50 synthetic and stick with that year round but you will definitely have to pack your own oil for top ups as this viscosity range is not too popular yet

If your mazda protege is a 4 cyclinder, use 5w30, if you have a 6 cylinder engine use 10w30

It may say on the oil cap or contact the local dealer.

Just get a good quality 10w30, it'll be fine

Try Ebay, or other on-line auction house for the best deal. Other than that, the vehicle is new enough you might find one at a dealership.

10W30 will work just fine in your car.
