Hey guys, I'm new here to the forum and I have done some searching on some issues I have been having with my car... I was able to find some answers but they weren't exactly what I needed for what I am experiencing. The first thing is oil...my protege5 is burning, but it's not consistent amounts and the oil is basically black after about 4000kms. Since I have owned the car I did oil changes every 5000km with conventional 5w-30 until recently when I was recommended to switch to 10w-30 due to it burning. What can I possibly due to reduce the burning or make it even go away if possible. The second problem I am having is my parking brake. The brake it's self is very flimsy and loose. I notice that on a slant if I dont pull it all the way up to the last notch the car will slowly roll. I have tried adjusting the cable with a 10mm socket where the screw is near the handle but it holds for a bit and then loosens up after a couple days. The car currently has 196,000km.
