Our Mazda service team is dedicated to repairing, maintaining, and dispersing helpful information to all of our customers. One of the most common questions we get in our service center is, “What type of fuel should I use for my Mazda vehicle?” For that, we have a more detailed explanation, but we recommend checking your manual first and foremost. If you're still confused, visit our service center at Peruzzi Mazda to learn which fuel type is best for your vehicle. more Different Fuel Types Regular, unleaded fuel is labeled as 87 octane gasoline. This is suitable for most non-performance, everyday commuter vehicles, especially in low or moderate altitudes where quick combustion is a good thing. However, if your vehicle requires higher compression and heat endurance and you need slower combusting fuel, higher octane fuel labeled 90 or above is preferable. These higher octane fuels can cost more at the gas station, but they also perform better with different additives than regular unleaded. Other fuel types include diesel and ethanol, but those are only limited to specific vehicles and are not intended for most models. Which Fuel Should You Use? Most Mazda cars do not require premium fuel, but in many cases, you will get optimum performance only with a higher octane fuel (generally 91 octane). Specific recommendations will be listed in the owner’s manual for your vehicle, so it’s always best to check there first for recommended or unrecommended fuel types. Here at Peruzzi Mazda, we will happily tell you more about fuel best practices and how to get the best performance out of your Mazda vehicle. Come see us soon this holiday season, and stay safe out there!

The Mazda parts inside your car all work together in synchronized union to achieve one goal: to drive. Some parts are more instrumental in that process than others, and as you may have guessed, engine cylinders are among the most important. So what exactly are engine cylinders and how do they help your vehicle accelerate? Our Mazda dealers are here to break it down. more What Do Engine Cylinders Do? Engine cylinders are the power units of an engine. This is where fuel is burned and turned into mechanical energy, which powers your car. Engine cylinders are made of metal and are sealed tight inside of an engine. They house pistons that are responsible for compressing fuel, which results in ignition and combustion. You’ve probably heard of engine cylinders referred to with numbers, such as four, six, and eight. These numbers reflect the number of cylinders inside an engine; the more cylinders that are present, the higher the power output will be. Cylinders that are positioned in a straight line indicate that an engine is “inline,” whereas six or more cylinders might be referred to as a “V” engine because of the V-shape in which they are arranged. Why You Need Engine Cylinders If an engine cylinder is not working efficiently, you can get various bad results. Overheating, leaking, or misfiring are obvious problems which can cause extreme harm to your engine. Luckily, if any of these issues occur, it will usually trigger your “Check Engine” light to come on. Our Mazda service experts are happy to answer additional questions or talk you through any needed maintenance and repairs.
