⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Code And Type:

Commonly the 2.5L V6 (G5M-GE) or 3.0L V6 (KJ-ZEM - often associated with the Miller Cycle, though this manual covers the standard V6 extensively). Specific engine codes would be detailed within the manual.

Horsepower Range:

Typically 170-200 hp for the standard V6, depending on the specific variant and year.

Torque Range:

Approximately 175-190 lb-ft for the standard V6 variants.

Injection Type:

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI).

ECU:

Engine Control Unit (ECU) with diagnostic capabilities.

Cylinder Configuration:

V6.

🔧 Transmission

Type:

Automatic Transmission (likely the JF506E for many models).

Availability:

Manual transmission options were rare or non-existent for the Millenia in most markets during this period.

Automatic Features:

Electronically controlled, possibly with a sport or manual shift mode (Steering Wheel Mounted Shifters were a notable feature on some later models, but may not be present on all 93-96 models).

Atf Type:

Specific ATF type (e.g., Mazda Genuine ATF JWS 3309 or equivalent) would be detailed in the manual. Crucial for transmission longevity.

📐 Dimensions

Body Style:

4-door Sedan.

Curb Weight:

Approximately 3300-3600 lbs, depending on engine and options.

🛡️ Safety Features

NHTSA Front Crash Test:

Refer to NHTSA data for specific model year ratings. Generally, vehicles of this era offered basic frontal airbags and seatbelt systems.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was a common option or standard on higher trims.

Airbags:

Driver and passenger front airbags.

Seatbelts:

Front and rear seatbelts, pre-tensioners likely for front occupants.

💡 Technology Features

Audio System:

Factory premium audio systems, often with cassette and CD players, AM/FM radio. Bose audio systems were available on higher trims.

Climate Control:

Automatic climate control systems were common features.

Cruise Control:

Standard cruise control.

Navigation:

Optional GPS navigation systems were introduced in the mid-90s, though not widely adopted as they are today. This manual would cover their diagnostics if equipped.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typically 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for specific oil type and capacity.

Coolant Change Interval:

Initial change at 60,000 miles, then every 30,000-45,000 miles thereafter. Use specified coolant type (e.g., Mazda FL22 for later models, or appropriate ethylene glycol blend).

Engine Oil Type:

Refer to manual, but typically 5W-30 or 10W-30 API certified oil.

Brake Fluid Type:

DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Coolant Type:

Mazda specifies a long-life coolant, likely a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and deionized water. The manual will specify the exact type and any required additives or treatments.

Common Wear Items:

Suspension bushings, ball joints, CV boots, engine mounts, transmission solenoids (on the JF506E), ignition coils, and HVAC blower motor resistors.

Engine Reliability:

The standard V6 engines are generally reliable, but regular maintenance is key. The Miller Cycle engine, while advanced, can be more sensitive to maintenance and specific issues. The manual will cover common diagnostic procedures for both.

Oil Filter Part Number Example:

Exact part number varies by manufacturer, but common aftermarket filters for this era are readily available (e.g., Fram PH2 or equivalent).

Air Filter Part Number Example:

Exact part number varies by manufacturer, but common aftermarket filters for this era are readily available (e.g., Fram CA3778A or equivalent).
