Time to change gearbox oil mazda 3 2.0
hi
When is the Mazda-Gearbox factory oil change time after a few thousand kilometers? It is 7000 kilometers, two years after the oil was poured into the gearbox. (ATF M-V) AT
hi
In the Mazda manual you have to replace the gearbox oil after 160000 km or 96months.
Since the machine has been operating for 7000 kilometers and has been running for 2 years, it needs to be replaced.
Mazda's authorized dealers in Iran change gearbox oil to 40,000 kilometers or after 2 years, whichever comes first, 40,000 or 2 years.
Is my driving normal and slow or does the oil break down after 2years if the oil color has not changed much?

One other comment; you've used the term "gearbox", which typically implies a manual transmission, however, you also said the oil in your transmission is ATF M-V, which is for automatic transmissions. Which do you have?

The 2-year recommendation sounds pretty short; what does your Owner's Manual say on the subject?

In the recommended manual, check (Inspect: Inspect and clean, repair, adjust, fill up, or replace if necessary.) every 6 months or 20 kilometers of oil and repeat for 96 month or 160000 kilometers, but does not need to be replaced like engine oil.This is the standard Mazda method in Iran.

What should I do now؟

The term "GEAR-BOX is often used by Gear-heads, Hot Rodders, Truckers, and in some countries could refer to either automatic transmissions or manual trans mission. Kinda like the English calling hoods "bonnet" or spark plugs "sparking plugs". And what's with that Whitworth measuring system and fastener? LOL
Mazda has a different schedule (modified) for vehicles that are in *extreme operating area's of the world or condition. Sooner on fluid service is always better !
The only real way to determine the condition of any fluids that are in a vehicle is to have a sample analysis done . After all the schedules are recommend service intervals which need to be adjust by how and where a vehicle is operated in.

We are on the same reference of information
I also think IMHO that you are a bit more experienced than what you and how you post things on this forum...

Hey bro., I KNEW EXACTLY what you meant. I talk to people all over the world almost daily having to do with cars and often run into a few that do not know what they think they know about global terminology having to do with vehicles ! The collected automotive glossary of words and meanings have been added to about every decade starting in about the 1950"s. I still find people even NOW that when I say " I have a BLOWN engine" think it relates always to its condition as bad! LOL

In my market there is no set replacement schedule for automatic transmission fluid. Its basically inspect every service. High ambient temperatures are not kind on ATF. Years ago when I worked for Honda, ATF was scheduled every 40,000kms. Times have changed and fluids have improved. Most manufacturers now state the transmission s are sealed for life, I don't agree. For personal peace of mind, 40,000km intervals sounds good .
