Fuel Requirements
* U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station pumps.
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.
Your Mazda will perform best with fuel listed in the table.You may use a regular unleaded fuel with an Octane Rating from 87 to 90 (91 to 95 RON).
but this will slightly reduce performance, such as reduced engine output, and
engine
knocking.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) could cause the emission
control system
to lose effectiveness. It could also cause engine knocking and serious engine
damage.
CAUTION:
USE 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.
Your vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10% ethanol
by volume. Damage to your vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this
recommendation, or if the gasoline contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of
any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.
Never add fuel system additives. Never add cleaning agents other than those
specified by Mazda. Other cleaning agents and additives may damage the system.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether compounds are
generally
referred to as oxygenated fuels. The common gasoline blend that can be used with
your
vehicle is ethanol blended at no more than 10%. Gasoline containing alcohol,
such as
ethanol or methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the following
may not
be covered by the Mazda warranty.
- Gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol.
- Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
- Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
