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 as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning
light may turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit
reset procedure on page 6-28 .
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.
