- 03 Mazda Protege5
Hey guys, so I've got a 03 P5, 5 sp, 2.0L. In the last week I've noticed two things
1) Oil was very low, clearly being burned but I have not noticed any smoking, even on start-up. Replaced my pcv valve and changed my oil, but it didn't do anything. Also threw in some seafoam, why not. Any idea why I'm losing so much oil? I'm not sure about the rate of which im losing, but enough that it's on my mind. Just odd that I don't see any smoke at all?
2) Also noticed a bit of a rough idle yesterday. At a stop light, fully warmed up and the RPM's drop from 750 to under 500, shake for a second, then go back up. Repeated a few times, then went away. Also when commuting on the highway, sometimes when Im going a steady 120 KM/hr the car seems to "blip" and decelerate or hiccup. Initially thought it could be a misfire, and was going to just replace my coils and wires/spark plugs but wouldn't that throw a code? No CEL.
Any help would be great, some preliminary searches didn't show much/confused me even more haha.
