Fuel Requirements (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The vehicle will operate efficiently on diesel fuel with specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less) fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent.
Fuel grade labels are visible on fuel-filler lid, therefore, verify the fuel grade before refueling. If the fuel grade cannot be verified, ask the gas station attendant.
-
Never use fuel other than specification Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, 15 ppm sulfur or less) fuel that meets the ASTM D975 standard or the equivalent for your vehicle. Use of gasoline or kerosene in diesel engines will result in fuel system and engine damage.
-
Never use diesel fuel with concentrations of methyl ester bio-diesel higher than 5 % (B5), such as B20 or B100.
-
Never add fuel system additives other than a Mazda genuine product, otherwise the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details.
-
If any type of incorrect fuel is accidently pumped into the fuel tank, do not turn on the engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with the incorrect fuel could cause damage to the fuel pump and fuel injectors.
-
Do not mistake the refueling port for the DEF filler port. If fuel was added to the DEF filler port by mistake, do not turn on the engine and drive the vehicle. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for assistance.
Turning on the engine or driving the vehicle with fuel in the DEF filler port could cause damage to the emission control system.
-
Fuel for winter driving is available. Ask the gas station attendant for details.
-
When refueling, always add at least 10 L (2.6 US gal, 2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Low outside temperatures
When the outside temperature is low, diesel fuel (light oil) may freeze and clog the fuel pipe, leading to problems such as the engine not starting. When driving to a cold region, add winter grade diesel fuel as soon as possible.
Never use engine starting assist additives:
Using engine starting assist additives is dangerous because they may cause a vehicle explosion or a vehicle runaway condition, leading to serious injury or death.
