Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel econo my and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil flow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can pr ovide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.

When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehic le will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
 Using oils of viscosity besides those recom mended for specific temperature ranges could
result in engine damage.

(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
SKYACTIV-D 2.2 uses specified oil. Please confirm the specification in owner's manual. If
engine oil other than the specified oil is used, the Diesel Particulate Filter
effective period of
use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may be damaged.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
•It is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.
Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1,000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may be as
a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in the
working engine. Oil consumption may be high er when the engine is new due to the
running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine load.
Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
•Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be reset as
soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indi cator light or engine oil warning light may
turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit reset procedure on
page 6-27.
•Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine oil
level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should be done
by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When replacing the
engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and refill so that the engine oil level
is within the range between MIN and MAX as shown in the figure.

NOTE
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
When inspecting the engine oil level,
pull out the dipstick straight without
twisting. In addition, when inserting
the dipstick, always insert it without
twisting so that the “X” mark faces the
front of the vehicle.
5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
If it is near or below MIN, add enough
oil to bring the level to MAX.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. This may
cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Engine Coolant
▼ Inspecting Coolant Level
WA R N I N G
Do not use a match or live flame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has
been running, parts of the engine
compartment can become very hot. You
could be burned. Carefully inspect the
engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but
do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.

Window and HeadlightWasher Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

L F
The top of the float should be between F
and L.

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Never touch the glass portion of a halogen
bulb with your bare hands and always
wear eye protection when handling or
working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the
flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the reach
of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is dangerous.
Serious injuries could be caused by
dropping a halogen bulb or breaking it
some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit using
a flathead screwdriver, make sure that the
flathead screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead screwdriver
contacts the terminal, a short circuit may
occur.
NOTE
•To replace the bulb, contact an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
•If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
•Use the protective cover and carton for
the replacement bulb to dispose of the
old bulb promptly and out of the reach
of children.

Dry off brakes that have become wet by
driving slowly, releasing the accelerator
pedal and lightly applying the brakes
several times until the brake performance
returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the vehicle
pulling to one side when braking could
result in a serious accident. Light braking
will indicate whether the brakes have been
affected.
When using an automatic car wash
•Retract the door mirrors.
•The automatic car wash brushes could
reduce the paint lustre or hasten paint
deterioration.
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of car wash
machine. If the car washer nozzle is put
too close to the vehicle, the force of the
spray could damage or deform the
molding, affect the seal ability of parts, and
allow water to penetra te the interior. Keep
a sufficient space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle a nd the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle, and
be very careful when spraying between
gaps in doors and around windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer be ads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle body,
wax the metal trim to m aintain its lustre.

1. Use wax which contains no abrasives. Waxes containing abrasive will remove
paint and could damage bright metal
parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for
metallic, mica, and solid colours.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the
sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take off
the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest
of the vehicle does not need it.
▼ Paint Damage Touch-up
Repair damage to the finish caused by
stone chipping, damage during parking
etc., by using Mazda touch-up paint before
rust begins to form. F
irst, remove the dirt
and grease with a clean soft cloth.

If rust has already begun to form:

1. Remove rust completely with sandpaper.
2. Wipe with a clean soft cloth.
3. Apply rust preventive primer to the area.
4. After drying it completely, apply a suitable top coat material to the area.
Of course there will be no problem if you
assign the work to an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

•(19-inch wheel vehicle)
If your aluminium wheels lose lustre,
apply wax which contains no polishing
powder.
▼Plastic Part Maintenance
•When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
•If plastic parts s
uch as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid, it
could cause discolouration, staining, or
paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or fluids using a soft
cloth immediately.
•High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could defo rm plastic parts or
damage the paint.
•Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
•In addition, do not u se an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result in
deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
Interior Care
WA R N I N G
Do not spray water into the vehicle cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin is
dangerous as electrical devices such as the
audio and switches could get wet resulting
in a malfunction or vehicle fire.
NOTE
•Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and petrol.
Otherwise, it may cause discolouration
or stains.
•Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth
may cause damage.

any of the following, wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discolouration, stains, cracks, or peeling of
the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
•Beverage or fragrance
•Grease or oil
