#10 of 3969 1995 Millenia S Oil Problem by bmwz3r Aug 07, 2000 (5:51 pm)
0I have a 1995 Millenia S with 101,000 miles on it and here is my situation: On my last oil change I drove between 5,500 and 6,000 miles (I use the blended oil for longer life ), when the technician pulled the dipstick...nothing was there. The engine was 3+ quarts low. I was surprised by this fact because nothing had ever been wrong during previous changes. I went ahead and had the engine treated with the equivalent of Slick50 and had the oil system flushed out as well. 4,000 miles into my current oil change the "check engine" light came on so I pulled into a gas station, pulled the dipstick and found the oil to be two quarts low. This morning when I went to leave my home (about 1,700 miles after putting two quarts in) the car had to turn over many times before it would start instead of the instantaneous response I am used to. After starting the "check engine" came on and stayed on, I checked the oil and it appears that I am at least a quart or more low again. I have put valve and ring additive into the oil (just recently) and have never noticed the car smoking even when following my wife in our other vehicle. There is no leak that is noticeable. I have noted that my gas mileage has dropped into the low 20's on the highway driving 70-80 mph, and I noticed lately that it almost feels like I am towing a boat! I know none of these things are good, probably looking at piston rings or valves or both. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions? I love the car, its looks, amenities, etc, and really feel that 100,000 miles is too soon for this type of problem to be presenting itself. Reply if you have any comments and similar experiences. It is parked for now and goes to the dealer this week for an analysis.
#11 of 3969 How to Increase HP fo S model by marak88 Aug 08, 2000 (7:42 pm)
Hello has any one tried to increase the HP for the S model, I hear that using K&N Air Filter is one way to do that, but I can't find any one who sell the K&N Air filter for my 1999 MILL S. has any one any idea where to get those filter from, because the only one I can find is for a 1997 Mill. also has any one tried any other methods to increase the HP. I was looking at some of the reviews, most and not all of the data at this one site as an example http://www.autosite.com/new/grabbag/perform/2213.asp shows that the older MILL S models are faster than the new ones, why is that?? What do you think??
#12 of 3969 2000 Millenia Base Model by tbird25 Aug 09, 2000 (2:06 am)
My wife and I just purchased a 2000 Millenia Base model. The MSRP was $27,695. The dealer came off the sticker price $2,438 to $25,237. That was then reduced by the $2,250 rebate for a sales price of $22,987. This was about $600 lower than I had ever dreamed. This deal was actually advertised in the local section of the state paper (Arkansas). I was told that the 4.9% financing offered through Mazda is not available if the rebate is accepted. To get the financing, the rebate is reduced to $250. I think we got really lucky. The dealership is a combination Mazda/Buick/Oldsmobile site. Another dealership, however, just bought it. It appears that they are trying to move the Mazdas ASAP.

#14 of 3969 k/n air filter by mantag Aug 09, 2000 (4:21 pm)
check performanceproducts.com i believe. i have the k/n air filter will last forever(reusable) $ 30-40. does improve hp a bit, as far as gas mileage, i am not sure. i tend to drive fast so have not noticed a real improvement in mileage.
#15 of 3969 mantag by marak88 Aug 09, 2000 (6:11 pm)
I checked the site that you posted, it only advertise the filter for the non S Millenia model (2.5 L), so I assume that you have the base model. I'll keep on looking. thanks for trying though
#16 of 3969 tires by milleniaman1 Aug 10, 2000 (2:40 am)
I have a 99 base Millenia w/19,700 miles on it. The tires are starting to get bald. It will cost me $611 to put on the identical Michelin tires it came with or for $487 I can put on Century tires, which come with a warranty and are suppose to be just as good. Has anyone put Century tires on their Millenia? And if so, do you like them? Thanks, Jason
#17 of 3969 k & n air filter by mantag Aug 10, 2000 (4:04 pm)
marak88, i have a 95 S. i am trying to remember, if the site had a differentiation or not between the 2 engines. the filter i got fits fine. i know the two engines are vastly different, bit maybe there is no difference re: the air filter.
#18 of 3969 Any advise on gaining HP ? by milleniabase Aug 11, 2000 (12:03 pm)
Hi. I wanted to ask if anyone knew how to get more HP out of Millenia? The KN filter, doesn't it void the warranty? Any other tricks anyone knows?
#19 of 3969 white container under breather by 97mazda Aug 12, 2000 (2:58 am)
The container only prevents the Millenia from breathing more air.
