Unleaded Gasoline engines

If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability

problems during a cold start, try a different brand of “Regular” unleaded

gasoline. “Premium” unleaded gasoline is not recommended (particularly

in the United States) because it may cause these problems to become

more pronounced. If the problems persist, see your authorized Mazda

dealership.

FFV engine (if equipped)

Your FFV will operate well on ordinary “Regular” unleaded gasoline, but

only the highest quality fuel ethanol will provide the same level of

protection and performance. To identify if your vehicle is an FFV, check

your VIN or the label on the inside of your fuel filler door. When

checking the VIN, look for the engine type identifier (8th character). If

your vehicle is an FFV, then the character will be labeled as a “K.”
If you operate your vehicle 50% or more of the time on ethanol, you

should follow a different maintenance schedule. See the

Service

Maintenance Section

for more information.

If you are experiencing a rough or rolling idle after start-up with the

outside temperature above 27° C (80° F), the idle should improve within

10 to 30 seconds. If the problems persist below this temperature, see

your authorized Mazda dealership.

Cleaner air

Mazda endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse

affect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:

You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after

refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to

the engine.

Your “Check Engine” indicator may come on. For more information on

the “Check Engine” indicator, refer to the

Instrument Cluster

chapter.

Fuel Filter

For fuel filter replacement, see your authorized Mazda dealership. Refer

to the service maintenance section for the appropriate intervals for

changing the fuel filter.
