Fuel and Emission
Fuel Requirements (Except Australia (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5))
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 with a lower rating will negatively affect the emission control system performance and 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.

This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more than 10 % ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol exceeds this recommendation, or if the petrol contains any methanol. Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.

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.
