Several jurisdictions in Canada have enacted regulations that require fuel suppliers to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards, which has resulted in the deployment of gasoline with ethanol blended up to 15% by volume (“E15”) as of January 1, 2026.
E15 is safe to use in all Mazda SKYACTIV models going back to the 2013 CX-5. While Mazda recommends the use of gasoline blended with no more than 10% ethanol (“E10”) when possible, if E10 is not available, gasoline with ethanol blends up to 15% (“E15”) is supported and will not damage the vehicle when applicable fuel-quality standards are met.
So to recap, use E10 where possible. But if it is not possible, use E15 if there’s no other choice
