Mazda introduced the Protégé in 1990. The company discontinued the Protégé after the 2003 model year. Depending on the model, the Mazda Protégé 5 could output up to 170 horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 160 foot-pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm. For the protégé to continue to operate properly, the engine needs lubrication to protect the internal components from becoming brittle and reduce harmful deposits that cause damage. The Mazda Protégé can use various types of motor oil.

It also protects the engines in cold weather. The engine oil is used in temperatures above 13 degrees F. Place 3 7/10 quarts of oil in the Mazda Protégé and replace the filter.
You can place Chevron Supreme 10W-30 Motor Oil in your Mazda Protégé in temperatures below 32 degrees F. The motor oil cleans the engine, protects against wear and thermal breakdown. It contains additives that inhibit corrosion and improves the performance.
The Valvoline MaxLife Motor Oil 10W-30 works in Protégés that have high mileage. It works in temperature above 13 degrees F. The motor oil fights against friction, sludge, deposits and leaks.
