Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use ONLY UNLEADED
FUEL, which will reduce exhaust emissions and keep spark plug fouling to a
minimum.
To achieve maximum engine performance, use the
specified fuel.

Fuel with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system
performance and could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
CAUTION
¾USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors and will lead
to deterioration of the emission control system and or failures.
¾The use of E10 fuel with 10 % ethanol in Europe is safe for your vehicle. Damage
to your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation.
¾Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise
the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) for details.
NOTE
(Premium unleaded fuel (within E85))
To maintain good engine startability and performance, the following points must be
observed.
xRefuelling using the same-type fuel is recommended. xAdd 16 L (4.2 US gal, 3.5 Imp gal) or more of fuel when refuelling. xDrive the vehicle 10 km (6.2 mile) or more just after refuelling to allow the
vehicle's engine control system to learn the ethanol concentration accurately.
▼Deposit Cleaner
To get the best performance out of our
newest-technology SKYACTIV petrol
engines, cleaning of deposits adhering
to the fuel related system, such as fuel
injectors, may be required by using a
Mazda genuine deposit cleaner in the
specified countries. Refer to
