Mazda LFF7 2.0L Engine For Sale

Mazda LFF7 2.0L Engine
Efficient Power and Proven Mazda Engineering.

The Mazda LFF7 2.0L engine stands as one of Mazda’s most balanced and versatile powerplants, combining performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability. Part of the renowned Mazda L-series of engines, furthermore the LFF7 was used across several popular Mazda models such as the Mazda 3 (BK/BL), Mazda 6 (GG/GH), and Mazda CX-7, delivering smooth power and exceptional efficiency for both city and highway driving.

This 2.0-litre (1999 cc) inline-four DOHC 16-valve engine features an aluminium block and cylinder head, keeping it lightweight without compromising strength. It utilizes sequential multi-point fuel injection (SFI) and variable valve timing (S-VT) to ensure optimal combustion and responsiveness across all RPM ranges. Producing approximately 147 hp (110 kW) @ 6500 rpm and 187 Nm of torque @ 4000 rpm, the LFF7 engine offers a refined driving experience with excellent throttle response and quiet operation.

The compression ratio of 10.0:1 enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining consistent power delivery. A chain-driven dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) system reduces long-term maintenance compared to traditional timing belts. Cooling is managed through a water-cooled system, ensuring temperature stability during extended operation. The engine oil capacity is approximately 4.3 litres (recommended 5W-30), and the engine’s dry weight averages around 130–145 kg, making it compact yet capable.

Common Weaknesses & Maintenance Notes.

While the Mazda LFF7 2.0L engine is widely regarded for its durability, a few common issues have been noted over time. One of the most frequent is oil consumption, often caused by carbon buildup on the piston rings this typically appears after high mileage but can be mitigated with regular oil changes and using high-quality synthetic oils.

Another known concern is timing chain tensioner noise on cold starts, which can indicate a worn tensioner or low oil pressure. Some engines may also experience valve cover gasket leaks or rough idling due to dirty throttle bodies or failing ignition coils. However, when maintained according to factory intervals especially with consistent oil changes, cooling system flushes, and periodic inspections the LFF7 can easily exceed 300,000 km without major internal repairs.

With its ideal balance of efficiency, reliability, and performance, the Mazda LFF7 engine remains a trusted choice for replacement, rebuild, or performance applications in a wide range of Mazda vehicles.
