Read about Mazda 2.5 SkyActiv-G Engine design and features, its the most common problems and relaibility. Come and discuss reliability, performance, modifications That’s why we developed a new technology, SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control, to help achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive. When cornering, on initial turn-in and throughout, the system works seamlessly by adjusting power delivery and shifting vehicle weight. The effect is subtle, but how you feel after a great drive isn’t. Currently, Mazda employs a range of Skyactiv-G engines, naturally-aspirated gas-burners with 13:1 compression in 1.5-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements.

Keep an eye on the oil level. Some of the engines leak oil past the exhaust valve stem seals (don't know your year). That’s why SKYACTIV-X is such an important breakthrough in Mazda’s goal to reduce ‘well-to-wheel’ carbon dioxide emissions to 50 percent of 2010 levels by 2030, and a staggering 90 percent reduction by 2050. To explain how SKYACTIV-X works, we’ll first need to cover some engine basics. In a gasoline engine the fuel-air mixture is FCGr.
