Engines Powertrain
Diesel Particulate Filter System
• The Mazda3 with Y6 high-power engine features a DPF with a honeycomb structure,
which must be regenerated at certain intervals. In order to facilitate the regeneration
process, the Mazda3 uses a special fuel additive that is automatically injected into the
fuel tank. During the combustion process the additive attaches itself to the soot
particulates, which then accumulate in the filter. As a result, the temperature to burn off
the particulates is lowered.

1 Fuel additive 2 Soot
• Pressure and temperature sensors in the DPF detect when the soot accumulation
capacity of the filter is reached. The engine control system then increases the exhaust
gas temperature by multiple fuel injections to burn off the particulates.
• After regeneration ash residues that have formed from the fuel additive and the engine
oil remain in the DPF, clogging the filter pores. For this reason, the DPF must be
replaced every 120,000 km.
• In addition, the fuel additive tank must be refilled every 60,000 km.
