
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 higher 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)

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.


Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be reset as
soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator 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
