Default CX5 trans fluid
I recently bought a 2014 CX5 2.4L automatic
What is involved with changing the trans fluid. Is there a pan and filter or is it just a drain and fill. Thanks

Mazda has no specified service interval for the 6AT in your CX-5. There is no drain plug and no conventional dipstick, although there is a way to check fluid level from underneath the car. Go here for more info: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...smission-fluid

No filters. If it doesn't have a drain bung then you need to drop the pan.

You should know this, having worked for a dealer!

There is a drain plug if you want to a quick drain and fill. Drop the bottom plastic panel and you'll see it.

It as easy as changing your oil. When I drained mine I got out about 4 quarts.

Is the inlet plug accessed from underneath or above?

The dipstick is the access fill point. It is located under the air cleaner. Just remove the air cleaner box and you will se it there. I think a little 10mm bolt retains the dipstick.
