Hey guys ive got a 2008 2.5L Mazda Atenza AUTOMATIC.

How much transmission fluid does it require for my gearbox?
want to change the auto transmission oil as is due for service.

Thank you!

 

Basic drain & refill is 3 liters. There will be another 3 or 4 litres within the transmission & torque converter.

You may want to drain & refill 3 ltrs, drive 1000kms do another drain & refill, drive another 1000kms and drain & refill again.

We use Castrol Transmax Multivehicle at my dealership, which is what is recommended by Mazda since they stopped supplying genuine Mazda M-V ATF.

 

No i want to do just one change only, doing it three times seems like a waste.
So 3L is all i need for the trans fluid change? As our local mazda dealership sells them in 4L bottles

 

3 litres won't change the fluid. Is not possible to change all the ATF in one exercise. Even using a flushing machine will take 8-10 ltrs.

 

Yes obviously it wont drain %100 of it, there will be some left over, however draining majority (all that comes out drainplug) will have a huge impact as it’ll replenish majority of the fluid.

i just want to know whats the approx capacity for draining and refill!

Anyone else who can confirm besides this guy?-_-“

 

I am the Mazda technician doing this job at the dealership.

You will be lucky to get 3 litres out of the sump. Its physically not possible to get the majority out without a flush machine, or indepth dismantling of the transmission.

 

Sounds like 3 liters is your answer for a drain-and-refill, R96.
