Is it better to use 92 or 95 gasoline for the Mazda3 Axela?
2 Answers
According to the vehicle owner's manual of the Mazda3 Axela, using 92-octane gasoline is more appropriate. Of course, if you want the engine to perform better and extend its service life, you can also use 95-octane gasoline. Things to note when refueling: 1. Do not wait until the fuel is completely exhausted before refueling, as this can damage the car's engine. 2. Try to use higher-octane fuel when refueling, which is beneficial for extending the engine's service life. The functions of engine oil are as follows: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures: A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. 2. Sealing effect: Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.
I usually drive the Mazda3 2.0L, and the manual clearly states to use 92 octane. I've been using 92 for over three years with no issues in city commuting, and the throttle response remains sharp. The experienced gas station attendant said this car's engine is tuned for 'regular fuel'—using 95 octane is just wasting money. Filling up with 95 costs over 30 yuan more per tank, and sticking with 92 can save you a full maintenance package's worth annually. With recent fuel price hikes, 92 octane's cost-performance ratio is truly unbeatable.
