Fuel/Oil Info from Mazda

The dealer just sent this over.

It covers the recommended fuel and oil, as well as the procedure for short trips. I wish they'd sent this out yesterday. Apparently I should have let the car idle for 5 minutes after backing it up to wash it last night...

Thanks for sharing that Jasper.
Glad to see I've been doing things right so far. (An RX7 guy I know warned me about always letting the car warmup completely before shutting it off.)

I did get a chuckle on the oil thing though.
1. If you check oil when getting gas, you are always going to read low because the oil is out of the pan and in the engine.
2. Evey second fillup is 750km? I wish... try 600km...

I actually was at exactly 375 km the last time I filled the car.
Worked out to pretty close to exactly 20 miles per gallon.
Of course I was still taking it easy then...
