Fuel Requirements

Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxy gen 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.

Fuel Octane Rating

(Anti-knock index)

Premium unleaded fuel 91 [ (R+M)/2 method] or above (96 RON or above)

* U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gasoline station pumps.

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.

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 or the oxygen sensor. The lead will

accumulate on the oxygen sensor and the catalyst inside the converter. This will result

in a malfunction of the emission control system, causing poor performance.

Your vehicl e 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 meth anol. 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.
