What transmission fluid & filter to use?
I am not sure why this is so hard but I am trying to identify exact part numbers for my Mazda 3.
I want to perform a transmission oil change. Drop the pan, clean it, new gasket, new filter, inspection then new oil. However, every place I go to seems to be just guessing at the parts and the oil. One says this while the other says that. I do not mind spending the extra money for the Mazda transmission fluid. I just want the correct fluid and parts. Hopefully I have come to the right place for help. 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback, non-turbo, skyactive motor so I believe it is the 2.0, AUTO, 117k miles I have added some pictures of the stickers on trans and trans dipstick. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...838706b854.jpg I believe this FZ number is just the dipstick part number https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...3eb85a9935.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...f04ad8fcf9.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...c30c710a9b.jpg |
For the skyactiv model, genuine fluid is "ATF FZ" . DO NOT USE Dexron or Mercon fluid.
They run a strainer rather than a filter, it won't hurt to replace it, just make sure it comes with new o rings. The Pan has no gasket, it uses sealant instead. |
