Default Correct auto transaxle fluid


Hi Mazda lovers! Hey I just got a 2003 Protege with an automatic trans and wanted to change all the fluids, filters etc and the only thing I can't seem to find is the type of atf to use in the transaxle. The factory manual says ATF MV which I assume is Mercon V but am not sure. I just bought some Mobil 1 syn that is Mercon V approved along with Dex etc. What is the correct fluid to use? Thanks!

Yes, and it says nothing in regards to fluid type. Thanks for replying I was starting to get a complex.
