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.

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.

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.
