When you have the 1.6-liter engine in your 2000 Mazda Protege, the fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle. If you view from the ground up, it can be seen directly below the seating area. The filter is mounted in the fuel pump module on top of the fuel tank. To get to the filter, you will have to take off the access panel and then another plate secured with multiple screws. Mazda suggests changing this component every 30,000 miles or 2 years, depending on which comes first. However, the specific replacement interval will vary based on your local surroundings and driving habits. A worn-out filter can impact performance and fuel efficiency. The typical cost for replacing the fuel filter in the 2000 Protege ranges from $60 to $110. The labor cost makes up $40 to $50 of that total, so you could save some money by completing the task on your own.
