1998 mazda 626 - 2 liter auto
 

hey guys/gals,

does anyone know if there is a free reference guide online dealing with the engine of the '98 626? my girlfriend doesn't trust the place which changes her oil. i was going to start doing the changes myself and wanted to have an idea of what i'm doing first. i found the filter underneath the exhaust manifold and it's pretty tight and reinforces my hatred of front wheel drive cars. (sideways mount engine)

i would appreciate your help.

thnx. yamajj

No offense, but how did you get mixed up into the RX8 board?

none taken. i bought an '04 rx-8 almost two months ago. (velocity red) i know many on this forum own other mazda's and just wanted to utilize this forum's wealth of members with other mazda models.

i know where the oil filter is on this particular model, but was wondering if it's easier to get to it from the top or bottom. (this before i crawl underneath the car)

I'd bet it's the same engine used in 2L Probes and MX6s... www.forums.probetalk.com -

Ahh... If it's the same as the Probe and you don't have enormous arms it's easier to get it from the top. I've had two of those motors.

thnx for the replies and confirmations, guys. i am appreciative.
