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

Thanks

Has anyone dropped the pan and replaced the filter and fluid that comes out

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.

thanks

is the fill hole hard to get to?

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

Thanks

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.

When checking the fluid level after adding new fluid, the ATF must be at the correct operating temperature, which from memory is between 65°c & 80°c. Engine running in park.

The air filter and box doesn't have to be removed when changing the motor oil. So changing the ATF fluid isn't quite as easy as the engine oil...

Good time to change the air filter simultaneously.

trans filter
 

2014 CX5
took off 2 undercovers and got access to trans drain bolt and I can also loosen fill/check port from underneath. I see that the trans pan is removable and also rock auto sells a replacement filter for this vehicle. Has anyone dropped the pan and replaced the filter on this car?

Yes.
