Additional Notes

  • All rear differential entries across the Mazda 3 BP specifications carry a capacity of 0.35 liter, applying equally to both the naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G 2.5 and the turbocharged SKYACTIV-G 2.5T engine variants.
  • A 0.35 liter capacity is a notably small figure, consistent with a compact rear differential unit of the type found in electronically controlled all-wheel-drive systems rather than a traditional mechanical rear axle with a larger housing.
  • All six rows specify normal use conditions, meaning the listed 0.35 liter capacity is associated with standard operating environments rather than severe-duty cycles.
  • The SKYACTIV-G 2.5T AWD configuration, available in both CAN and USA markets, carries the same 0.35 liter rear differential capacity as the non-turbocharged SKYACTIV-G 2.5 AWD, despite the higher torque output associated with a turbocharged engine.
  • The SKYACTIV-G 2.5T AWD variant appears in the specifications from 2020 onward, two years after the 2018 start date of the naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G 2.5 AWD entries.
  • Canadian and American market specifications for both the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 AWD and the SKYACTIV-G 2.5T AWD share identical rear differential capacities of 0.35 liter, indicating no regional variation in the differential unit between the two markets.
