2007 Mazda 3 transmission filter & fluid change

[@TheSniffy1]

Thanks for making all these Mazda videos makes it much easier for me to work on my car!!!!

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Happy to help!

[@oiliranmarket1526]

Hello dear friend, can I ask why you don't change the gearbox oil with the device?

[@JoseMartinez-ll3yl]

Thank you for the video. My additional step in the process is to purge the old ATF that remains inside the transmission (not the reservoir) by using the Outlet hose until I see the new ATF coming out, in sets of "stop-refill-purge-stop-refill" process while keeping a steady amount of the specification level. I schedule to do this every 40K miles using Castrol Transmax High Mileage. Thank you.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Yup we can do that process too. But this time we want to change the filter too so the flow of oil inside will become better and cleaner

[@JoseMartinez-ll3yl]

@@asianmechanicguy6483 Yes, I change the filter too. Maybe I'm overdoing it with the filter? How many miles would you say for the filter and how many miles for only the fluid exchange? My car has about 234,000 miles on original engine and transmission.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

here in canada we use kilometers i dont know about miles i change the tranny filter 30k-60k kilometers it always depend on ur car manual and mostly i change the filter together with the tranny fluid if the owner agreed its always it depends ..but always check ur owners manual or search it in google

[@JoseMartinez-ll3yl]

@@asianmechanicguy6483 Thank you. Interestingly, there's no schedule for changing the ATF on my owner's manual. However, Hayne's manual states every 60k miles (100k km?). Regardless, it doesn't specify when to replace the ATF filter. Whenever you are to replace the exhaust system (manifold, cats), please make a video! Thank you.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

sure i will bro....

[@joetan4125]

After I changed the filter and gasket like you did, my car makes a whining noise as soon as I put it into gear and now even in park it whines. I shut it off, I must of done something wrong. Can you think of anything that I may have done wrong? I think I pushed the filter too hard into it's hole. I remembered I snapped it in then I pushed it a bit and I felt it snugged in a little more.

[@brianlee677]

Thx for video hope this will help my hard shift into 3rd.

[@bensillitoe3303]

Do you still have this problem, my third has been crunching

[@brianlee677]

I do still have the issue though I changed fluid and filter and added 1 quart Lucas Transmission fix and it has helped substantially smoother shifting.

[@NIS_ONE]

Nice. Just what I was looking for. Thanks brother 👊

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

No problem 👍

[@jwhit4075]

Good video, would you be able to link to the type of transmission fluid you bought?

[@danwils4554]

Hi great video just wondering if the 4 speed and 5 speed gasket and filter kits are the same

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

not sure i think check ur engine size cuz mostly if we go to autoparts store here in vancouver they usually ask for the engine size and this car has a 2.3 liter engine i think

[@danwils4554]

@@asianmechanicguy6483 thanks for that advice mines a 2.3 litre aswell so ill definitely be letting them know

[@chrisbradley1192]

Nice, informative video. My OCD compels me to ask: Did you remember to tighten the drain plug lol?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

everything is tighten

[@zackerygulick7339]

I have a 2007 mazda3 hatchback. Recently it has been having issues with getting speed once I hit 40mph. I believe it is the transmission fluid though. I checked it and the fluid was not red so this video helped me out a lot! But I do have a question… when you shift your car from park to drive or reverse does an electric buzzing sound happen?? Mine does it and has been doing it ever since I got it but have thought nothing about it. But now the buzzing sound lasts longer.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Nope no buzzing sounds

[@zackerygulick7339]

@@asianmechanicguy6483 would you know by chance at all have an idea of what it could possibly be?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Salamat po. Working on my car right now.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Welcome 👍

[@viewfromtheroad2656]

Torx bit number 8 is awfully small for a 14mm bolt. What size did you actually use?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

maybe yours is a replacement plug or mine or maybe no. 8mm allen socket not torx bit

[@MrTubeniko]

How much transmission fluid did you drain? And is the procedure the same on the 2L models? (I am assuming they would all have the same gearbox).

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

i forgot how much did i put it in but i had a trick fill it up until cold mark on the dipstick run it for 10 mins check the dipstick it should be on warm mark if its not then add more

[@ruhtra5602]

Maganda pa ang kulay ng transmission fluid mo. For my 2009 Mazda 6 2.5 liter engine with FS5A-EL automatic transmission drain and fill is around 2.7 quarts of atf fluid. Transmission flush around 8 to 9 quarts. Salamat sa video mo. pero sa Mazda 6 naka harang ang front crossmember. Ngayon lang ako magpapalit ng filter 185,000 miles na pero flush ang ginagawa ko every 30,000 miles. Salamat ulit.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

no problem kabayan are u mechanic too bro

[@silvericeman92]

Would the procedure be same for a 2006 mazda3

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

not sure bro this mazda has a 2.3 liter engine hatchback ..

[@silvericeman92]

Mine is also a 2.3 hatchback only difference was as far a so could tell from the video was the year

[@jesscarroll189]

What did you apply between the gasket and the pan?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

its a quick dry gasket maker

[@danieldifeo3699]

Do i need to replace the transmission pan gasket. I have 130k miles and i also have to replace the solenoid A, and B. Any advice? Thanks.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

yup its better to replace the pan gasket anyway gasket is not that expensive

[@subarux4054]

What sort of paste did you put on the gasket? Is there a specific name to it?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

permatex silicone gasket maker from canadian tire

[@anthonyigania8465]

What did you put between the gasket and the pan? Can I get from Canadian tire?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

gasket maker and yup i bought this at canadian tire

[@anthonyigania8465]

Do you need to wait for the RVT Silicone to dry before applying the fluid?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

if its a quick dry you put the fluid right away but if its not then its better to leave it overnight

[@iLovethemToo]

Great instructional video my dude

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

thank you

[@Devo1987]

I changed fluid and filter on my 2006 mazda 3s 2.3 l auto with castrol multi vehicle not import and now I have slippage bottle said M-V compatible was shifting better befor what could I be ?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

drain it and put the recommended tranny oil

[@krisborn]

You removed an electrical connector before you removed the filter. Do you know what sensor this connects to?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

not sure what is it bro might a temp sensor

[@arjunpatel3709]

i have 2007 mazda 3 15000 mile im getting p0753 code shift solenoid A electrical problem do you have any suggestion on the problem how to fix it some one says just replace TCM and it works fine what you think what should i do , your video provide great detail thanks for that , I did changed my Transmission fluid watching your video

theres a big chance its the tcm as this year of mazda 3 has a common problem of the tcm

[@r.nathansinclair9909]

Thanks but I’m not sure what you had said about the manual transmission as I only know very little phillapino 🙏😳😍

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Oh sorry automatic transmission fluid change procedure is different from manual transmission fluid procedure..

[@tonydigregorio3806]

that is so strange. I just came back from the mazda dealership and they said my 2007 3 2.3L had a metal filter that didn't need replacing. also the gasket was just silicone. Now I'm confused.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

go to other dealership for second opinion sometimes people on the dealership frontdesk are not really mechanic they just rely on what the enter in there computer and if they enter wrong info ur screwed

[@alejandrocordon8271]

Hello friend, what type of fluide of ATF is for a mazda 3 2007?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Dexron V1 bro

[@MrTubeniko]

There is a specific pattern of how which bolts need to be bolted - there is a specific order and they need to be bolted at 7nm not any more otherwise you are risking of tearing the gasket. The order should be in the instructions of the new filter/gasket kit you buy, mine was.

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

Yup brother I did bolted the pan in a proper sequence and I did use a very small ratchet for lower torque and in a real world this is what we do for lower torque bolts just tight and snug

[@r.nathansinclair9909]

Salamat po. 🙏🏼

Hi! I was wondering, how much fluid did you actually use? I'm a little confused since the manual says the transmission has a capacity of 8.6 quarts. Is it enough with 4?

[@asianmechanicguy6483]

cant remember how much fluid i put in this car but you cant put fluid up to the midlle of cold and warm level on tranny dipstick then run it for 5 mins check the dipstick it should be on warm level if not add more fluid

[@sendit1158]

YES ITS ENOUGH BECAUSE HE ONLY DRAINED THE PAN WHICH HOLDS ABOUT 4 LITERS, HE ONLY DID A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE, NOT A FULL FLUSH, WHEN YOU FLUSH IT ALL THE FLUID COMES OUTTA THE LINES AND TRANSMISSION WHICH EQUALS ABOUT 8 LITERS OR WHATEVER THE BOOK CALLS FOR

i cant understand why Mechanics pay is so low in NZ, every other trade hourly rate has gone up heaps, but mechanics even qualified is very low since 1980s, im retired now and was doing wofs , but seems most inspectors only qualified to do wof and not qualified mechanic, since so may people die on roads you would think a good qualified mechanic would be highly paid, average is minimum im guessing 22 per hour, if own business you can get full payment to you of much higher rate and even owner / manager doesnt need qualification, its bulshit because panelbeater has to be qualified, electrician and plumber, but cars kill more every day more than any other way!
