NOTE
(MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5 and SKYACTIV-G 2.0)
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/1000 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 higher 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
according to the instruction in Workshop Manual as soon as possible. Otherwise the
engine oil warning light may illuminate. Consult an expert repairer to reset the engine
control unit, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
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 refi ll so that the
engine oil level is within the range between Full to Low as shown in the fi gure.
