Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions

Fuel Requirements (MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0)
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.
The vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
Fuel
Premium unleaded fuel
(Conforming to EN 228
*1
and within E10)
Regular unleaded fuel
*1 Europe
*2 Republic of Palau & Federated States of Micronesia
Fuel with a lower rating could cause the emission control system to lose effectiveness. It
could also cause engine knocking and serious engine damage.
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.
The 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.
Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system could be
damaged. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
for details.
