Engine oil viscosity, or thickness, has an effect on fuel econo my and cold-weather operation
(starting and oil flow).
Low-viscosity engine oils can pr ovide improved fuel economy and cold-weather
performance.

When choosing an oil, consider the temperature range your vehic le will operate in before
the next oil change.
Then select the recommended viscosity from the chart.
CAUTION
 Using oils of viscosity besides those recom mended for specific temperature ranges could
result in engine damage.

(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
SKYACTIV-D 2.2 uses specified oil. Please confirm the specification in owner's manual. If
engine oil other than the specified oil is used, the Diesel Particulate Filter
effective period of
use will be shortened or the Diesel Particulate Filter may be damaged.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
•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/1,000 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 high er 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 indi cator 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 6-27.
•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 refill so that the engine oil level
is within the range between MIN and MAX as shown in the figure.

NOTE
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
When inspecting the engine oil level,
pull out the dipstick straight without
twisting. In addition, when inserting
the dipstick, always insert it without
twisting so that the “X” mark faces the
front of the vehicle.
5. Pull it out again and examine the level.
The level is normal if it is between the
MIN and MAX marks.
If it is near or below MIN, add enough
oil to bring the level to MAX.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the engine oil. This may
cause engine damage.
6. Make sure the O-ring on the dipstick is positioned properly before reinserting
the dipstick.
7. Reinsert the dipstick fully.
Engine Coolant
▼ Inspecting Coolant Level
WA R N I N G
Do not use a match or live flame in the
engine compartment. DO NOT ADD
COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT:
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has
been running, parts of the engine
compartment can become very hot. You
could be burned. Carefully inspect the
engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but
do not open it.
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.

NOTE
Changing the coolant should be done by
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Inspect the antifreeze protection and
coolant level in the coolant reservoir at
least once a year―at the beginning of the
winter season―and before travelling
where temperatures may drop below
freezing.

Inspect the condition and connections of
all cooling system and heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or
deteriorated.

The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L marks on
the coolant reservoir when the engine is
cool.
SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G
2.5

SKYACTIV-D 2.2

If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to
the coolant reservoir to provide freezing
and corrosion protection and to bring the
level to F.
Securely tighten the c oolant reservoir tank
cap after adding coolant.
CAUTION
 Radiator coolant will damage paint.
Rinse it
off quickly if spilled.
 If the “FL22” mark is shown on or near
the cooling system cap, use of FL-22 is
recommended when replacing engine
coolant. Using engine coolant other than
FL-22 may cause serious damage to the
engine and cooling system.

If the coolant reserv oir is empty or new
coolant is required frequently, consult an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Brake/Clutch Fluid
▼Inspecting Brake/Clutch Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have
the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch
fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining wear
or a brake system leak which could cause
the brakes to fail and lead to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the
same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir
regularly. It should be kept between the
MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with
accumulated distance, a condition
associated with wear of brake and clutch
linings. If it is excessively low, have the
brake/clutch system inspected by an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.

Window and HeadlightWasher Fluid
▼Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir; add fluid if necessary.

L F
The top of the float should be between F
and L.

Use plain water if washer fluid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.

Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use petrol, paraffin, paint thinner,
or other solvents on or near them.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched.
 If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object.
 If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
▼ Replacing Windscreen Wiper Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION

To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
 Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the windscreen
wiper operation may be adversely
affected.
NOTE
When raising both windscreen wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm first.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side first while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windscreen.
1. Raise the wiper arm.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windscreen
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windscreen.
