NOTE

The Mazda RX-8 requires regular

checking of the engine oil level. The

compact, high performance RENESIS

rotary engine in your vehicle consumes

a small amount of engine oil due to its

structural design. An oil pump

optimizes the amount of oil injected to

lubricate the rotor seals in the

combustion cycle. Although your

vehicle is equipped with an engine oil

level warning light and an engine oil

pressure gauge, it is best to keep the

engine oil level in the range between

full and low by checking the oil

dipstick regularly. Mazda recommends

checking the oil level at every second

fuel filling. The oil consumption of the

engine depends on engine speed and

engine load. Under extreme driving

conditions, oil consumption can be

higher.

qEngine Coolant Level Warning

Light

This warning light indicates low engine

coolant level.

If the light illuminates while driving:

1. Drive to the side of the road and park

off the right-of-way.

2. Turn off the engine and inspect the

engine coolant level (page 8-15). If it's

low, add engine coolant.

3. Check the light.

If the light remains illuminated even after

you add engine coolant, have your vehicle

towed to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

CAUTION

Don't run the engine if the engine

coolant level is low. It could result in

extensive engine damage.

qCheck Engine Light

If this light comes on while driving, the

vehicle may have a problem. It is

important to note the driving conditions

when the light came on and consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The check engine light may come on in

the following cases:

l

The fuel tank level being very low or

approaching empty.

l

The engine's electrical system has a

problem.

l

The emission control system has a

problem.

l

The fuel-filler cap is missing or not

tightened securely.

If the check engine light remains on or

flashes continuously, do not drive at high

speeds and consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer as soon as possible.
