Transmission Fluid Capacity
Greetings All...I'm having an issue determining the appropriate amount of automatic trans fluid. The ride is a 2008 Mazda3i 2.0 automatic 4 speed. All owners manuals and online references indicate around 7qts. Most do DIY forums indicate 3-3.5qts. I recently did a flush (3 in - 3 out) and afterwards put 3.5qts in and at normal operating temps my level appears over the dip stick full line.
Any advice?:confused: |
You will see 2 different fluid capacity numbers because one is total capacity and the other is drain and refill. Total capacity is used after an overhaul. When servicing the trans add 1 quart or so under the service fill capacity, start the engine and put it in forward and reverse a few times then put it in park and let the engine warm up until the cooling fans kick in. Check your fluid level with it in park and running.

There it is...makes perfect sense. Thank you!
