I want to replace the upper and lower radiator hoses on my MSP Protege. Our original hoses are wrapped. Do I need to get a similar wrapped hose as replacements? I have been looking all over the internet and nobody seems to show even the correct hose for the upper or lower. Help?

You can look for the samco hoses for the msp.

OEM hoses are silicone. Samco also. Last much longer and more durable than ordinary replacement hoses. You could use either type as long as you accept the tradeoffs.

Try http://onlinemazdaparts.com/ for the best OEM pricing. Try NAPA online for replacement/aftermarket hose pricing.

the stock hoses are silicon, but the p5/es rubber ones work just fine too if you dont wanna spend $100 on rad hoses lol.

There is no replacement interval, just replace them when they leak. They should be fine for a few more years.
