Engine Code:
Common engine for the 1995 model year in many markets would be the B6 (1.6L) or possibly the EGi (1.3L) variant depending on region.
Displacement Cm3:
Typically 1.3L (1323 cc) or 1.6L (1598 cc) for this generation.
Configuration:
Inline 4-cylinder, SOHC or DOHC (depending on variant).
Horsepower Ps:
Approximately 63-73 PS for the 1.3L and 70-90 PS for the 1.6L, depending on exact tuning and market.
Torque Nm:
Torque figures would range from approximately 100-110 Nm for the 1.3L and 120-140 Nm for the 1.6L.
Induction:
Fuel Injection (Multi-point or Single-point, depending on market and engine variant), or Carburetor in some earlier/specific markets.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Petrol (Gasoline).
Length Mm:
Approximately 3,700 - 3,800 mm (depending on body style, e.g., 3-door or 5-door).
Width Mm:
Approximately 1,600 - 1,650 mm.
Height Mm:
Approximately 1,400 - 1,450 mm.
Curb Weight Kg:
Approximately 850 - 950 kg, depending on engine and transmission.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 - 7,500 miles (8,000 - 12,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended replacement every 15,000 - 30,000 miles (24,000 - 48,000 km) or as needed based on inspection.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Varies by spark plug type, but generally 30,000 - 60,000 miles (48,000 - 96,000 km).
Engine Oil Type:
API SG or SH classification, viscosity grades such as 5W-30, 10W-30, or 10W-40 depending on ambient temperature. Consult manual for precise recommendation.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific Mazda coolant or equivalent. Manual will specify. Capacity around 4.5-5.0 liters.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Transmission Fluid Type Manual:
API GL-4 gear oil, typically SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90. Capacity around 2.0-2.5 liters.
Transmission Fluid Type Automatic:
Dexron II or equivalent Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Capacity around 2.5-3.0 liters for refill, more for overhaul.
Common Wear Items:
Suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, exhaust system components, clutch wear (manual transmission).
Electrical Gremlins:
Intermittent electrical issues, particularly with window regulators, central locking, and lighting, due to age and wiring harness wear.
Engine Mounts:
Wear and tear on engine mounts leading to increased vibration transmitted into the cabin.
Rust:
Corrosion, especially in wheel wells, sills, and around window seals, is a common issue for vehicles of this age, particularly in regions with harsh winters.
