Your are a very good auto mechanic. You showed every steps and explain them so clearly even my grandma could understand well. Keep on doing and sharing car maintenance videos. Thank you for your hard work.
Glad it helped. Thank you very much too. Take care!
One of the nicest repair or service I have watched in a long time. Nice one!
Thank you so much!
@@DraftProjectdid you reset TCM after oil change?
I just finished my 2021 Mazda CX 30 AWD Turbo trans oil change and filter and gasket. Ordered Blauparts kit with FX oil. Worked fine...Trans holds 8 liters and only 4 liters and 150 ml came out. So I ordered more FX Fluid to flush more out in a week or two. Watched this video first was good. Measuring what came out is key.
That's great to hear! Thanks a lot!
It's the process exactly the same for the 21 cx30? I bought it at 60k miles used so I want to do it right away as I'm assuming they didn't do it
Really nice Video! Life time fluid until warranty is over. Dealers are clueless. Thank you for telling the truth.
Honestly it is a lot cheaper to change the transmission fluid than it is to change the actual transmission out, so you have your choice
Great video, you kind of explain things "idiot proof" way, you don't skip steps assuming they are self-understood. When inserting the new filter, you make sure the sound of the click is included. This is a school example of how-to video.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it that you observed those things. For me, it's better to do it that way since not everyone can easily understand the process.
size of washer gasket pls?
Best automatic transmission fluid replacement ever. Thank you
Thank you was wondering if my relay works without buying a new one.your video is precise and very helpful. THANK S
This was an AMAZING video. Thank You!!!! I love the way you went into detail. I'm more confident now.
Thank you so much! You can do it too! Take care and good luck!
Your video is done very well with CLASS ,it's informative and educational...
Very well done ..
I really appreciate your comment. Thank you so much!
You did a superb job my friend! Kudos!
Thank you very much!
This is an amazing tutorial! I feel confident now in servicing my own car. 😊
Thank you very much!
Awesome video, very well explained, the patient step-by-step manner was much appreciated!
You are right, there is no such thing as lifetime transmission or transaxle fluid.
Maybe in years past ,you could trust the car manufacturers to give you the proper fluid change intervals,but not any more.
Whether it’s oil ,transmission ,or brake fluid,etc., you have to do your own research and talk to various mechanics
The greedy carmakers, do not want your car to last, or they do just until your warranty runs out
What a world we live in
Yeah, truly terrible. Everything is made to be broken, so take care of it to make it last. Thank you so much! Take care.
Great detailed Video...5 Stars. Perfectly done...Good Job!
Thank you so much!
Very good video! Editing and quality are perfect! Thankyou 👍 👍 👍
Thank you very much!
Really glad I watched this all the way through before popping off my atf pan. I need silicone.
Thanks! Good luck!
Interesting video, Draft. Thank you for your kindness and informative videos. And Scotty Kilmer agree with you on changing the aut. transmission fluid :)
I love your comment. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much!!
Hjorte, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Btw, it should be obvious that every fluid needs changing over time.
And so in my humble opinion it should not take a Scotty Kilmer to tell us that. It should be OBVIOUS.
Anyway, i like his video as well.
:)
Fantastic job, very methodical and descriptive.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
I have a CX 30 , will replace transmission fluid at every 60,000 miles would rather have 300;00 miles as a lifetime of my car rather than 150,000 miles. Thanks so much for your video.
Thank you too! Take care as always.
Great video, well done. I found very helpful!
Thank you so much!
Excellent job!
I would check dipstick level before servicing the unit and would drive after service and check level with stick to be sure.
We always did a complete leak check before draining.
Very good video sir!
Thank you very much!
That's great. Excellent procedures sir. Keep it up!
thanks for showing the location of the dip stick. "looks dirty" and actually "dirty" are two different animals. sometimes fluid will change color (darken) when exposed to heat, but is still technically good as far as the active ingredients/chemical makeup go. the only real way to tell if the "dirty" looking fluid is actually bad is to have it tested to see if the active/chemical bits are still in sufficient quantities. Yes, I agree in changing the fluid after a specific amount of time/distance driven; but you can't always go on looks or color.
Thank you. Certainly yes, I agree. My bad. Here, we don't have a laboratory that test fluids. Therefore, we just normally just based on mileage and color.
Very interesting,I have a 2 liters CX-30 but I think it is almost the same.My Mazda dealer told me that it is NOT RECOMMENDED to change the oil,of course I don't believe him.He told me that it is impossible to found the same oil....crazy.So,I give you a tomb,because I was waiting for this kind of video
Thank you very much!
I never heard of that and it sounds funny.
Always take care!
Thanks for video. I just got a 2015 Mazda 3 skyactive. And wanted to service the transmission. Thanks to you I now know how and what I need to do it. With 180k miles. I’m sure it due a service. Thanks again Shawn.
Thanks Shawn!! Good luck and take care as always.
I WOULD NOT change 180,000 mile trans fluid if it's never been changed.
Lots of transmissions will slip and run rough if u do.
If it starts slipping, just add some Lucas Oil Transmission Fix. That stuff is magic.
Thanks for such a clear explanation! Super helpful
Thanks man! Appreciate it a lot!
At no time did I see any bolts refitted with loctite nor any use of a torque wrench???? You won't be doing MY Mazda Skyactiv AT when it outlasts the actual entire car in 20 years without a single oil change. @@DraftProject
Thanks! this one is going to be so helpful!
Thank you very much!
Bro I did this job and I should’ve seen this video first very helpful
Thank you very much! Take care as always
Good job! Great Video ....just ordered the filter and fluid for my "New" 2013 i grand touring ......
Good luck! Take care. Thank you very much!
Fantastic video and you really look like you do a thorough job. Really clean and didn't go overboard with the RTV
Lifetime fluid means that... If the fluid shortens the life of the 'box so be it! Madness when there's a drain plug and filller - they could charge you to channge the fluid every 2-3 years and make extra money!
Yeah, that's one thing to consider too, so these people could make extra money.
Thank you very much!
Only issue with that is you would get mechanics also offering the slightly pricier but "more thorough" oil flush, which can do more harm than having left the old fluid untouched. All you want to do is a drain and fill, never a flush as it can dislodge safely deposited debris and potentially leave it in more sensitive locations.
Awesome vid!! thanks a million.
Thank you very much too!
Excellent video.
Very thorough job! You could eat your dinner off that oil pan.
Yeah, it is a nasty job haha. Quite tiring to do so.
excellent videos
Nice tutorial hope I can do it by myself gud job sir thank you
You can do it. Good luck. Thank you!
Good job man!
Thanks man!
This is really a great series.... Do you also have a video about how to adjust the motor's timing chain tensioner?
Thank you very much for that.
Sorry, unfortunately, I don't have a video for that. Perhaps soon once I got the opportunity to do that.
Also, sorry. It has been a long time since you had requested this video. I wasn't able to edit sooner due to many setbacks along the way. I really appreciate your support. Thank you.
Great concise video//// thanks
Thank you very much!
Maraming salamat pare
Very good video. Simple tools! One slight change is that on the refill, just use a clean cup and portion out the 2.5 cups needed right into the funnel. All good!
Thanks for doing this video
Thank you for the feedback and advice too!
Well done. Thank you.
Thank you!
One of the best how to videos I’ve seen!
Thank you very much!!
Very nice!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this man, I've been having some rough gear changes recently. Gonna try and change the transmission fluid tomorrow.
That should do the trick. Thanks too man! Take care!
Lets not forget that music baby!
Very nice
Thank you very much!
thank you very much
Welcome! Thank you too!
Another mechanic on RUclips pointed out that transmission filters like this one are designed to only catch metal fragments and particles, not the fine stuff that an oil filter is made for. He also said that, unlike an engine oil filter that is under pressure, a transmission filter has no pressure on it. For these reasons he says it's totally unnecessary to replace the filter, and therefore removing the pan is also not needed.
Drain and fill only -- unless you're having problems with the transmission.
Thanks for the info. Something worthy to look for and study.
Just finished changing oil (only) in my Mazda 6, drained only 3.5 quarts (3.31L). Easy job.
That's nice!
Lot of videos of this maintenance, show around 3.5 quarts is removed from dropping pan and filter replacement… So what is the real amount to refill?
I have a 2012 Mazda 2 on 84k. Not sure if the transmission oil has been changed. Was thinking of doing it in the next two months. Your video gave me great insight on how I will need to do it. Thanks!
Good luck! Keep safe. Thank you!
The oil you removed was not excessively dirty and the oil filter and mag drain plug is designed to keep that debris out of the trans fluid and you claim you purchased this vehicle with already substantial mileage but don't them mention your car had covered 300,000 KM's when this video took place.. @@DraftProject
good video
Thank you!
you can soften the silicone with brake cleaner (toluene, xylene ect) and it will come off very easily almost by itself.
I have never tried that before. Thanks a lot! I will try that next time.
Very nice video, but do you have a link for the atf fluid and filter? Wala kase mazda dito sa province namin sa bohol, Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot
Thank you too!
Excellent vid. What type of RTV silicone did you use to re-reseal the pan? Permatex Ultra Grey gasket maker?
Nope. It was only a local brand. It is good with high temperature and resistant to oil and other fluids. Not the best silicone I had, but it works pretty well.
That brand would be better than mine. Sorry, I forgot the name of the silicone. Perhaps try searching for Permatex that are well suited for oil pans. The original sealant used in this Mazda is a red RTV silicone.
Do you need gasket remover spray solution or just with plastic blade its easy to remove the old one?
Very great video and in detail. I have to do the same thing on our Mazda 3. If there is gasket on oil pan, do I still need to use RTV Silicon? New subscriber
Not necessarily needed. But it's not bad to use it. RTV silicon helps seal oil pans especially if the surface of where the gasket will be place has scratches. If you are going to use it, make it clean as possible, avoid any excess RTV silicon.
Hey Draft, thank you for making this tutorial so helpful! Question for you, I want to do two drain and fills because my 2012 Mazda 2 in total has almost 8 quarts but I know I won't be able to get them all out with just one drain.
My question is, how long do I have to wait in between drains to do the secound drain? Should I first do the 1st drain and refill, then Drive for 20minutos and then do the secound drain but this time also change the fliter and clean the pan? What do you suggest? Thank you!
Thanks for commenting!
For your question, 15-20 minutes drive should do. That's actually a good plan. That will totally clean the transmission.
As for our recommendation, changing transmission filters should be done if the vehicle has reach 50,000 Km. If it only reached 25,000 on the clock, it is not necessary to change the filter, not unless if the vehicle has been bought used and you want to change it since you don't have any ideas on what the previous owner did to the vehicle. Also, another exception is if you want it to be totally clean, then go for it. I would do the same thing if I were in the same case.
Hope it helps. Sorry for the late response. Thanks and take care.

For the transmission filter, unfortunately I couldn't find one. Sorry about that. A lot of them are replacement parts which I don't recommend. Just choose genuine OEM parts only.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find parts online. Also, it can be expensive or cost more due to shipping fee. The best way is to go to your nearest Mazda dealership and order the ATF fluid and filter.
Just remember this when going to the dealership to make it easier for you to buy.

Para el filtro de transmisión, desafortunadamente no pude encontrar uno. Lo siento. Muchos de ellos son piezas de repuesto que no recomiendo. Simplemente elija solo piezas OEM originales.
A veces puede ser difícil encontrar piezas en línea. Además, puede ser costoso o costar más debido a la tarifa de envío. La mejor manera es ir a su concesionario Mazda más cercano y pedir el líquido y el filtro ATF.
Solo recuerde esto cuando vaya al concesionario para que sea más fácil para usted comprar.

Perdón por el largo mensaje. Espero que esto ayude. ¡¡Muchas gracias!! Cuídate como siempre.
I asked the same to my dealership for my CX-5 2012. They are a bit more reasonablr about it, they told me thay Mazda Bulletin told them it's lifetime for skyactive model but recommend to check at 120,000 km. They said since Japanese car "lifetime" for them is normally about 5 years. After the 120,000 km passed .They then schedule for me to change the fluid at 140,000 km.
I see. It seems like the word "lifetime" shouldn't be taken generally by definition. Maybe most people in Japan or in other countries change their cars after 5 years. Those years are the maximum usage of the vehicle and meant to be replace with a new one.
Thank you very much for this information.
sir, 2016 mazda 2 skyactiv, used by my daughter, 50k mileage. Napaka ganda ng iyong presentation.
Tanong lang po, pwede po ba ipagawa/service sa iyo? Salamuch po.
If you see an oil leak, dont assume what you take out is what fluid you fill again. Always check the dipstick with car running and ATF at 120 degrees.
hermano, busco ayuda , estoy desesperado! sabes donde esta el Sensor de presion de fluido de la transmision? tengo que remplazarlo y no se donde esta localizado
Hello, where did you get the RTV silicone from? the dealer or on line? Is it a Mazda brand RTV? thank you for your video. Oh when checking the fluid dip stick is it when the car motor is off or on?
I just bought it from a physical automotive store. You can buy it online too. It doesn't have to be Mazda RTV silicone.
When it comes to checking of fluid level, yes. The engine should be running when checking the fluid level.
Hey, the Mazda Owner's Manual states that the capacity of Skyactiv G 1.5L has the capacity of 7.2L of transmission oil. Your method only use around 4.6L. How do you justify the volume? Can the oil volume inside the transmission (filter + pan), actually decreased due to wear and tear, thus you need to refill full 7.2L, or simply 4.6L considered as adequate (though, not ideal, perhaps??)
Given that fresh ATF FZ is blue in color, the stuff drained from your transmission was filthy indeed.
I use a suction pump to regularly replace 4 litres of used ATF with fresh FZ in my Mazda 3. Since the FW6 transmission cannot be flushed, that's as close as it gets for me.
Is this exactly the same as a 2019 cx-9 ? Thanks for the video, it's clear and concise and if makes me feel I could do it. ( if it's exactly the same as a 2019 cx-9)
I haven't handled a CX-9 model before but since skyactiv engines are pretty similar on every models, they could share the same concept, although not exactly the same.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video. But I could not get Genuine Mazda atf FZ. Only found Castrol Transmax ATF Z and Febi Bilstein Automatic Transmission Fluid. Do you recommend it or delay it until I find genuine one?
I would delay it until I found an original one because it's hard to rely on it since these transmissions are delicate and sensitive. Even though these are well made brand of ATF, there is no assurance that these will work perfectly.
what should i use for Mazda BT -50 2012 model
Thank you. I have a model 3 - 2019. Can i use fluid from other producents? found this one LIQUI MOLY ATF top tec 1800. It says it's compatible with MAZDA ATF FZ. However, the Mazda manual does not specify anything other than the original ATF.
For me, It's better to stick with Mazda ATF FZ just to be sure. It's not worth risking since Mazda ATF are sensitive and expensive.
We just bought a used 2017 CX-5 and the previos owner had the transmission serviced but it looks like they used a red universal likely Valvoling Maxlife ATF which says it meets Mazda FX spec but seems thicker as I am shocked at how watery Mazda FZ blue fluid is.
Great job!! How much do you tighten each bolt? So you dont have to let the silicone gasket cure? You can just start adding fluid right after you're done tightening the bolts? 🙏😊
Sorry I couldn't provide torque specs since I don't have an access on service manual of this vehicle. I just tighten it by feel. I make it snug with the right tension or feel. You can tighten it and let it sit for a bit. Then retighten it for the gasket to press and seal. After tightening the bolts, just let the gasket dry for a bit. Then add transmission fluid. Hope it helps. Thanks man!
Engine oil can be called lifetime fluid too if you expect it to die in 50k miles or less. It’s a horrible trend in new cars to call transmission fluid lifetime.
Thank you for the helpful vid, at 13min when reinstalling the oil pan, is the rubber gasket already being held in place with sealant on the transmission housing?
Nope. It doesn't have a rubber gasket and it will never have a rubber gasket. It only uses a sealant in between the oil pan and transmission.
@@DraftProject I see.. The filter that I purchased for my 2010 Mazda 3 sport included the rubber gasket.
@@vanquishstorm3806 I do encounter some replacement part which is a rubber gasket for this Skyactiv transmissions. I'm not sure if they do really work since Mazda originally didn't put one.
For early models like yours, I'm not that sure since I haven't worked on 2010 models yet. I suggest to put some RTV silicone too along with the rubber gasket to make sure that it is properly sealed.
I just fill the transmission fluid less than 4 ltrs, it is about 3.7-3.9 ltrs. And when i checked the dipstick after warm up the engine, i see the fluid is between the two marks, it is under the top mark about 2 milimeters. Is that true?
Is it the same fluid for the diesel model?

Hi, great video! By any chance, are there any specific torques for the drain bolt, pan bolts and filter bolt?
Yes, always use & check with a torque wrench.
Many lazy & dishonest shops DO NOT use torque wrench.
Unfortunately, I don't have a service manual for this job, so I couldn't provide. My torque wrench is too big to set these things. Sorry about it.
Thank you very much!
The Torque for the pan bolts is between 8 and 10 N/m. For the filterbolts I sugest to do the same as it has only to hold the filter in place. The torque for the drain plug I don't know. Strange enough my drainplug did not have a gasket/washer.
Thanks for sharing!
I was watching a Scotty Kilmer video about him saying not to fully flush out a transmission , and that it’s better to just drain what you can and fill.
Is this considered a full flush? And what are your thoughts on that?
I just bought a 2024 Mazda cx5, and just trying to do my research as to help keep it running smoothly for a long time.
He was working on a Honda with a CVT though ,and if I just drain and fill, I’m worried about the filer itself. Any input would help greatly!
Thank you for your comment!
This is not a full flush. This is only a simple drain of transmission.
On some vehicles, they have drain bolts on the torque converter which leads you to a full flush of transmission fluid.
Draining by removing the drain bolt of the transmission pan does not remove all of the ATF inside the transmission. There will always be some old fluid left, especially on the torque converter.
Congratulations on your new vehicle!
Always check your odometer to keep track of your maintenance.
For transmission oil change, we recommend following this interval.
25000 Km - Drain and refill only
50000 Km - Change of transmission filter / Drain and refill
Based on our experience, especially with regards to Mazda's Skyactiv transmissions, they are prone to knockback and jerky motion after and beyond reaching 60000 - 70000 Km. Maintaining it's ATF fresh through the following interval helped prevent and even remove those problems.
Also, it is also a good idea to check your owner's manual as it contains maintenance schedules too.
Hope it helps. Thank you and take care!
@@DraftProject thanks so much!
Hi, do you know how to identify bad drive shaft inner and outer on the left side? I experience sound on my car left side, tierod, rackend, ball joint, stabilizer link, strut bearing and strut mount has been replaced with the new one. But the sound persist.
Thank you
A bad outer drive shaft has a clunking sound when turning left or right. For the inner, sorry, I haven't had a broken inner drive joints before. Inner drive joints have three bearings and the housing wears out overtime which causes a play and a rough movement of the car.
I guess it's better to check first all of the bolts underneath. Also, make sure that there are no things inside the car that can cause noises. Maybe try checking your engine mounts too.
how much fluid ar filter sir and saan kayo nakabili?
Great video, what is your opinion on tusing the cork/composite gaskets that sometimes come with filter kit versus the RTV silicone?
Well, I wasn't really sure about the outcome since Mazda did not designed them to have gaskets. The only possible things that I could see is that the bolts might not achieve its desired torque due to thickness of the gasket. Also, leaks can also happen too since RTV does a different seal compared to a regular gasket.
I see leak oil on the below board of your car. How to repair that? Is that come from rear crankshaft seal? Could you make a video to diagnose and how to solve it?
I wasn't sure about that yet. Perhaps it could have been an excess oil that has been accidentally poured in the dealership. But I will check it soon. Thank you
yes lifetime fluids, are total BS. Your on the right track, change the fluids
Hi I have a 1.3 lt petrol Mazda 2 (called demio in Japan). Will this version take the same parts and transmission fluid?
I'm not exactly sure about it since we don't have a 1.3 variant here. But as a general rule and if it has the same year range model, yes. These would always have the same transmission but has different ratios and engine.
Great video!!! Will this be the same on a 2021 CX-30?
The procedures could be the same. Since it has a different engine, it will have a different layout and parts.
@@DraftProject thanks!
Do I need to wait till the gasket are fully dried and cured before adding in the fluid? Or I can just add in the fresh fluid and wait it cured then start the last process?
Its always better to wait for it to cure first, so it would seal properly. Otherwise, oil can get in between when the gasket is still wet.
Hey man. 2016 mazda owner here, im really really a noob at anything mechanical. My car is at 70k Kms now, do you think if I just drain the transmission oil and put new oil it it would still be beneficial? I don't really want to taking the oil pan off etc.. as im a bit scared and dont have a lot of the tools...
Thanks man
Yes, it would still be beneficial. The fluid does the job on everything.
But of course, you get the idea that the filter is drenched on old fluid, which would basically mix with the new fluid. It would still work. But remember that filters have limits too.
If that's the case, perhaps you should start looking for shops that could do the whole job for you.
Hope it helps man! Take care
The problem with that type of Allen wrench is, you only get one good chance, if you even move it slightly it could strip out the drain plug, I would recommend using a 3/8 in Allen socket and ratchet
With the small experience I had, I would say I agree on that. I have never used 3/8, so I would try it on my next ATF oil change. Thank you very much.
or just use a t45 torx like a smart person lmao
What year Mazda2 is this? You bought it new? Great video!!! I just bought a 2011 with 33000 miles on it driven by a nice elderly lady. Great service records all by dealership but no Transmission service. 😢 I should get this done right away. Right? Thanks
It's a 2016 model. Yes. That's sounds nice. It seems like the car has been well taken care off. Most dealerships won't offer transmission service due to their marketing and belief of lifetime fluid. If you have the opportunity, go and have it change. It will prolong and make the transmission operate smoothly. Take care. Thanks!!
I'm going to do it myself. My model has the 4 speed auto transmission not the sky active. All the OEM filters online say that they don't come with the oring.
I see. Sorry I wasn't sure about that since I haven't handled a non-Skyactiv model. Mostly they come with o-ring. It may seem like it has a different design.
Thanks man. Good luck and as always, take care.
as long as the ATF is cmpatible to ATF FZ, will it be okay? Valvoline Max Life is compatible to ATF FZ, will this be okay?
If it does meet the standards and specification, it can be used. But actually, I don't really recommend it. It's kinda hard to gamble when it comes to transmission since they are quite expensive to repair or replace once damaged. If you can afford the FZ fluid from Mazda, it's better.
Is the transmission filter the same for the Demio 2015 with 1.5L Skyactiv-D (diesel) engine?
I'm really sorry, I'm not sure about. We don't have the Diesel version here. Probably it's best to ask the dealership for that. Here is the part number of the transmission filter.
Part number: FZ11-21-500
Hello i just bought mazda 3 2014 running with high mileage 360000km , I want to chang the transmission oil is that good idea? I have no idea if the transmission oil has been changed before or not !
Definitely yes. If done correctly with the right type of fluid, it will prolong the lifespan of your transmission and have smoother and better results.
Do you know what solenoid would cause a delay when going from park to drive and then slippage between all gears at higher RPM? No delay going park to reverse. Shifting manually seems fine.
Sorry, I'm not sure on what could it be. I haven't experienced it before. On older Mazda vehicles, there would be a solenoid on top of the transmission. I heard they clean it to fix the problems of delayed engagements.
Actually i have this same exact delay & slippage issue as u mentioned. Have u found out what is causing them? Thanks.
We couldn’t find an easy solution. Ended up selling car.
Where did you get the filter? Did it come with the oring?
I just bought it at the dealership. Yeah, it does come with an o ring. Just head to the dealership and ask for the filter according to your vehicle.
you know if that there some in the scaner transmission by reset
Muy bueno el video, tengo una duda ¿el filtro y el aceite de transmision es el mismo para un mazda demio 1.3 skyactiv?
¡Hola! Bueno, no tenemos la variante 1.3, pero tras la investigación, sí. Tiene el mismo aceite de transmisión y filtro. La única diferencia es el motor.

Hello! Well, we don't have the 1.3 variant but upon research, yes. It has the same transmission oil and filter. The only difference is the engine.
@@DraftProject gracias por la informacion, si bien la cilindrada 3s 1.3 pero el motor es P3 que es de los Mazda CX5
Parece que hay una diferencia en el modelo de motor por país o región. Sugeriría preguntar por la tienda o el concesionario para aclarar las piezas, solo para asegurarse de que obtendrá las piezas correctas para su vehículo.

It seems like there is a difference for engine model per country or region. I would suggest to ask for the shop or dealership for the clarification of parts, just to be sure that you will get the right parts for your vehicle.
New fluid is now blue rather than red?..or is the older fluid just brown?..very good tutorial
New fluid is blue. Once used, the color of the fluid changes to red due to oxidation which is normal.
Thank you very much!
If you have socketed bits they will be better than an Allen key. Just be careful not to strip the drain plug with it putting it back in.
Got it. Indeed it is kinda scary sometimes when using the allen key. Gonna change anytime soon. Thanks a lot!
@@DraftProject I am also careful to find an exact fitting one too. I don't like feeling any play in that bit when I insert it in a plug or bolt. I know there is often a very tiny bit but I at least try a few for the best fit if I don't know the size. What is worse is that some cars have those bolts that need a triple square bit. Some call it a splined bit. Some people might attempt to use a Torx or Allen bit in those. That is a big mistake unless it is so loose it is about to fall out!!! On a Volkswagen I had the brake calipers were mounted with those. You can imagine the frustration of ruining one of those bolts in such a small place. To make it worse those bolts are infamous for being easily ruined if the bit is not all the way in because it was crammed full of dirt.
@@charleshines2142 I really appreciate the information that you had given me. It really is a pain in the ass. It's like telling us that these cars with special bolts should only be serviced in the dealers. Specific tools like the ones you've mention are pretty hard to find. Therefore, it is not DIY friendly, leaving us the choice to take it to a shop, or force it, destroy it and change it with an alternative bolt.
Thank you very much!! Take care!
Buen dia, yo tengo un Toyota Yaris R XLE 2017 y acaba de cumplir los 200,000K, nunca he cambiado el aceite de transmisión porque eso dijeron en la agencia pero tengo la duda si por tanto recorrido que tiene ,valdra la pena hacer el cambio de aceite de transmisión? o podra dañarla.
Saludos desde México
Yea change it I had the same vehicle with 200k and I did it it was much better
¡Saludos! Lo siento por la respuesta tardía. Cambiar el aceite nunca dañará la máquina siempre y cuando se haya utilizado el fluido correcto y se haya hecho correctamente. El fluido de por vida o nunca cambiar el aceite solo resultará en daños y un rendimiento degradado. El filtro y el aceite se ensucian con el tiempo, por lo que deben cambiarse en un intervalo específico.
Los distribuidores que dicen que no necesitan cambiar el aceite son una estafa y una forma barata de mercadeo. No existe tal cosa como líquido de por vida.
Honestamente, 200,000 Km están atrasados para un cambio de aceite de transmisión. Cambie el aceite y el filtro para aumentar la vida útil de su transmisión. Definitivamente sentirás una diferencia al hacerlo.
Espero que esto ayude. ¡Muchos gracias! Cuídate.

Greetings! Sorry for the late response. Changing the oil will never hurt the machine as long as the correct fluid has been used and it is done properly. Lifetime fluid or never changing the oil will only result to damage and degraded performance. Filter and oil get dirty overtime, so they need to be changed at a specific interval.
Dealers who says that they don't need to change the oil is a scam and kind of a cheap way of marketing. There is no such thing as lifetime fluid.
Honestly, 200,000 Km is overdue for a transmission oil change. Please do change the oil and filter to increase the life span of your transmission. You will definitely feel a difference from it.
Hope this helps. Thank you very much! Take care.
Where did you get the transmission filter for your Mazda 2? What part number is it's?
I just bought it at the dealership. Part number is FZ11-21-500.
Does this tutorial apply to a 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring?
Some of the aspects and other concepts applies, so yes. The only thing that makes a difference is that Grand Touring has different engine, so it could have different parts, fluid level and others. But it still has an FZ transmission since it has a Skyactiv engine.
