  During the first fill-up, I saw a sticker inside the filler flap that said 'USE PREMIUM UNLEADED ONLY' or something to that effect. Is it okay to use ordinary 95RON in the engine, or should I use the cheap juice? I'm willing to go with premium 98RON if it means improved performance and efficiency.
    My car arrived with a Bose music system and a 6-CD changer, but no AUX-in port (which is normally located in the armrest pocket). I'm thinking about obtaining the XCarLink Kit to add iPod/iPhone connection, but I wanted to see if anybody had any issues with installation or general usage beforehand.

Thank you, and please accept my apologies if these questions need to be reposted someplace more suitable!

welcome to the clan! According to the manual, various Mazdas are calibrated differently for different regions, such as the United Kingdom and the United States.  I've been using premium unleaded from the local petrol station, but I'm told it's 95RON and it seems to function fine.  MPG is terrible in the city, but it is the same for all vehicles.

Good day and welcome. If you get into difficulty, we will try to help as much as possible. For practical reasons, I'm still using Windows 98 on my. In my opinion, using 95ron will provide you with safety. I'm certain you'll discover some helpful information on the X Car Link by using the site's search function.

OK, thanks; I'll reread the manual regarding the fuel query and conduct a search for xcarlink-related topics.

Still keeping my fingers crossed that the legendary Mazda reliability record will translate into few (if any) maintenance and repair questions.

There's a lot to know about this, and if it's not an MPS, there's no need to run it on super. The knock sensor and ECU are set up to run 98ron like an mps.

Look at the crank's bottom pulley to see that this is not the case. By adjusting this sensor, you may enjoy super unleaded's advantages. The only thing I've done to mine is make the power curve a little bit smoother and increase the sport's speed from 6k to 7k. There has been no change in MPG.

Mazda uses this method to adapt to the different fuel standards in each nation. While those on the American site seem to cluster towards the top, I discovered my profile closer to the middle.
