Engine Oil
NOTE
Changing the engine oil should be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
▼Recommended Oil
In order to keep the maintenance interval (page 6-3) and to protect the engine from damage
caused by poor lubrication, it is vitally important to make use
of engine oil with the correct
specification. Do not use oils which do not meet the following specifications or
requirements. Use of unsuitable o il may lead to engine damage which is not covered by the
Mazda Warranty.

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.

▼ Vehicle Engine Control Unit Reset Procedure
NOTE
This procedure is intended for vehicles
with SKYACTIV-D 2.2 and vehicles with
SKYACTIV-G 2.0 or SKYACTIV-G 2.5 which the engine oil flexible maintenance setting is
selected.
After replacing the engine oil, have a repair shop such as an A uthorised Mazda Repairer
perform the initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the r ecorded value. If the value
recorded by the computer is not initialized, the wrench indicat or light may not turn off or it
may turn on earlie r than normal.

NOTE
The initialization (engine oil data resetting) of the recorded value can be performed using
the following procedure:
1. Switch the ignition OFF.
2. Switch the ignition ON with the instrument panel illumination knob pressed, and press and hold the instrument panel illumination knob for about 5 seconds until the master
warning light
flashes.

3. After the master warning light flashes for several seconds, the initialization is
completed.
▼ Inspecting Engine Oil Level
1. Be sure the vehicle is on a level
surface.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the sump.
4. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.

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.
