Additional Notes

  • The Mazda RX-8 SE (EU) rear differential holds 1.3 liters across all three listed configurations, which is a typical service fill volume for a compact rear differential unit of this type.
  • The 141 kW variant covers the 2003-2011 model years, while the 158 kW variant applies from 2006-2011, meaning the two power outputs overlap across a shared six-year span within the broader range.
  • The RX-8 HP configuration shares the same 1.3-liter rear differential capacity as both the 141 kW and 158 kW variants, despite representing a distinct trim designation within the lineup.
  • A check interval of 20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, applies under normal use conditions to all three configurations listed.
  • The interval structure combines a distance threshold with a time-based limit, meaning a vehicle driven fewer than 20,000 km in a year would still reach the service point at the 12-month mark under normal use.
