Additional Notes

  • The Mazda MX-5 / Miata ND (EU) rear differential holds 0.6 liter across all four listed engine configurations, indicating a compact unit consistent with the vehicle's lightweight design philosophy.
  • The 0.6 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required when servicing the differential under normal operating conditions rather than a full overhaul rebuild quantity.
  • Both the SKYACTIV-G 1.5 at 96 kW (2015-2018) and the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 at 118 kW (2015-2018) share the identical 0.6 liter rear differential capacity, showing no variation between the two engine displacements in that generation.
  • The SKYACTIV-G 1.5 at 97 kW, introduced from 2018, retains the same 0.6 liter rear differential capacity as the earlier 96 kW variant, despite the output difference between the two versions.
  • The SKYACTIV-G 2.0 at 135 kW, introduced from 2018, also carries a 0.6 liter rear differential capacity, matching the lower-output 118 kW 2.0-liter unit from the prior period.
  • All four configurations list normal as the use condition tied to the 0.6 liter capacity specification, meaning the stated fill volume applies to standard driving conditions rather than a severe-use service interval.
