Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you open the fuel
door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait between five and
ten seconds from the time the refueling
nozzle is shut-off until you remove the
nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain in\
to the tank.
When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (lo\
cated in the
spare tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Fuel Tank Capacity and Fuel Info
Fuel tank capacity varies on your MKZ, depending on your drive type and \
engine: 16.5 gallons (62.5 liters) for front-wheel drive models equipp\
ed with the
2.0L EcoBoost engine and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-wheel driv\
e models
and those equipped with the 3.7L V6 engine. Use only UNLEADED gasoline
blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol and an 87 octane rating. Do not use E85

e it could
damage or impair the emission control system.

(80 km/h) to reach a tire service location. Note: After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer. For more details,
refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your
Owner’s Manual .
