Why are Mazda engines different?
The SKYACTIV-X engine uses a spark to ignite only a small, dense amount of the fuel-air mix in the cylinder. This raises the temperature and pressure so that the remaining fuel-air mix ignites under pressure (like a diesel), burning faster and more completely than in conventional engines.
Why is no one buying Mazda’s amazing new engine?
In the meantime, Mazda will continue updating its existing models to keep them fresh, but it’s a risky strategy as buyers may be more tempted by all-new models from competitors in the same segment. Mazda does have a secret weapon that could give it an advantage, however: the amazing SkyActiv-X engine.

Why did my Mazda light not come on?
One would think that a low amount of oil in the engine would also cause the light to come on. The light never came on so this tells me that the engine should have had adequate oil for lubrication. Mazda told me that there was no correlation between the two.
