Octane recommendations

Do not be concerned if your engine

sometimes knocks lightly. However,

if it knocks heavily under most

driving conditions while you are

using fuel with the recommended

octane rating, see your authorized Mazda dealership to prevent any

engine damage.

Unleaded Gasoline engines

Your vehicle is designed to use “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an

(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. We do not recommend the use of gasolines

labeled as “Regular” that are sold with octane ratings of 86 or lower in

high altitude areas.

FFV engine (if equipped)

Your vehicle is designed to use (E85) Fuel Ethanol, “Regular” unleaded

gasoline or any percentage of the two fuels combined.

U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing
pumps to have a small, square, orange and black label with the
common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that
region. Use of other fuels such as Fuel Methanol may cause
powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and your
warranty may be invalidated.

Fuel quality

Many of the world’s automakers

issued the World-wide Fuel Charter

that recommends gasoline

specifications to provide improved

performance and emission control

system protection for your vehicle.

Gasolines that meet the World-wide

Fuel Charter should be used when

available. Ask your fuel supplier

about gasolines that meet the

World-wide Fuel Charter. In Canada,

look for fuels that display the

Auto Makers’ Choice

logo.

It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating. Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your

fuel may not be covered by your warranty.
