Production years 2014–2018 meet Euro 6 standards .
The Mazda PN62 is a 1,998 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact and mid-size SUVs and hatchbacks (2014-2018). It combines direct fuel injection with variable valve timing to deliver responsive acceleration and efficient cruising. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it balances everyday performance with economy.

The Mazda PN62 was used across Mazda's CX-5/B-series platforms with transverse mounting and no licensed external use. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-revised intake runner geometry in the CX-5 and modified ECU calibration in the Mazda3-and from 2016 the facelifted CX-5 adopted the PN62-TU variant with improved intake manifold design, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.
Analysis derived from manufacturer technical service bulletins and industry workshop records. Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The PN62 offers strong performance and efficiency, but early models suffer from intake valve carbon buildup, especially with short-trip driving or extended oil changes. Later revisions (post-2016) improved intake design, so well-maintained examples can be robust. Strict adherence to 10,000 km oil changes using Mazda Genuine Oil 0W-20 is essential for longevity.
The biggest issues are intake valve carbon buildup, EGR valve clogging, turbocharger oil starvation, and timing chain tensioner wear. These are well-documented in Mazda service bulletins, particularly SI-15-017. Oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and occasional coil pack failures are also noted.
This 2.0L turbo petrol engine was used in the Mazda CX-5 (2014–2018), Mazda3 (BP, 2014–2018), and CX-3 (2015–2018). It replaced the naturally aspirated BP engine and was never licensed to other manufacturers. All models meet Euro 6 standards.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the PN62 platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
Good for a turbo petrol. In a CX-5 or Mazda3, real-world figures are approximately 7.5 L/100km (city), 5.8 L/100km (highway), and 6.5 L/100km (combined), or about 43–48 mpg UK. Economy improves significantly with steady highway driving and proper maintenance.
Yes. The PN62 is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or slips, pistons can collide with open valves, resulting in catastrophic engine damage. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the timing chain kit per Mazda recommendations are critical.
Mazda specifies Mazda Genuine Oil 0W-20 meeting API SN+ or ILSAC GF-6A specifications. Always use full synthetic oil designed for direct-injection turbo engines and change it at 10,000 km intervals to prevent carbon buildup and ensure adequate lubrication for the turbo and timing components.
