I have just bought an used 2013 CX5 Maxx KE 2.5L with 104300 km. should i use unleaded 91 or use higher like 95 or 98. Is this model compatible with E10? IF anyone knows please reply.

It can run E10, 91, 95 or 98. Its tuned for all OZ fuel.

A 2013 with a 2.5 liter? That doesn’t sound right.

Some countries designate the model years a bit differently than we do in the States. Here, his vehicle would probably be an early 2014 model, but since it came out in 2013, it's designated as a 2013.

Right. Believe it or not, those were called 2014s by Mazda in the US. Go figure!

Another issue i have noticed. for the cold start the engine makes a noise (like fan noise) and seems a little bit rough and the coolant indicator light (blue) is on. After a while it is OK and smooth. What I understand might be spark plug issue. Anyone have any thought?
