Default Transmission Bolts Part Number?
I'm getting ready to drop the pan and change the oil filter on my kid's 2016 AT Mazda 6. Does anyone know the part number to pan bolts (not the drain plug)? Thanks.

Take a bolt to a local hardware store look in the stainless steel section and match up the bolt. Cheaper and better quality then OEM
OH and most hardware store have a thread gauge to use.

There is no need to replace the M6 bolts. Just give the a good clean to remove any sealant.

I only need 5 quarts for the pan drop correct? Would I be safe just adding what I take out or do I need to break out the OBD II and check the trans temp?

For a simple drain pan and filter service it's not required. Actually, even with a full transmission service its not needed either so you are good to go! .
