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.

[@DraftProject]

That's great to hear! Thanks a lot!

[@chanmoua]

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

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

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.

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, that's one thing to consider too, so these people could make extra money. Thank you very much!

[@eddyr3691]

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.

[@fixdelacroix-france7985]

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

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

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!

[@johncasady7552]

Thanks for doing this video

[@DraftProject]

Thank you for the feedback and advice too!

[@K03sport]

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.

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@sebbbou5455]

Do you need gasket remover spray solution or just with plastic blade its easy to remove the old one?

[@nebhosspin1252]

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

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@vanquishstorm3806]

Excellent vid. What type of RTV silicone did you use to re-reseal the pan? Permatex Ultra Grey gasket maker?

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@SleepyWavves]

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!

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@vanquishstorm3806]

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?

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@vanquishstorm3806]

@@DraftProject I see.. The filter that I purchased for my 2010 Mazda 3 sport included the rubber gasket.

[@DraftProject]

@@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.

[@Edgar_Drake]

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??)

[@diyersamateur5486]

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

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@jimcastillo8950]

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?

[@DraftProject]

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.

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!

[@DraftProject]

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!

[@jdswift78]

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? 🙏😊

[@DraftProject]

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!

[@dougharding5231]

Another mechanic on KZbin 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.

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.

[@Rizqi1010]

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.

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@Ninja_Drummer]

Great video, what is your opinion on tusing the cork/composite gaskets that sometimes come with filter kit versus the RTV silicone?

[@DraftProject]

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.

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.

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 !

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@mekaniko4021]

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?

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@PadillaT97]

what is the torque indicated in the manual for tightening each bolt?

[@DraftProject]

Sorry, I couldn't provide the torque specs since I don't have a service manual for this job. Some of the resources in the video are sourced from the internet and forums.

[@alan-cl1rj]

​@@DraftProject It's frustrating that the Mazda manuals have very limited information on servicing. I have a Mazda CX-30 AWD 2021 and I often have to cross-reference to different models/years to get things somewhat close to what manufacturer recommends. It's a good thing I have a bit of experience from other DIYs otherwise it would've been a nightmare since there's not many videos either (almost none at all for CX-30 AWD). Thanks a lot for these videos though, they're great help!

When I try to run the engine with the air box off so that I can check fluid level the engine will run very rough and seems like it’s about to kill. Did yours do this? I ended up just estimating level with engine off cuz it killed the first time I tried it and the second time I left it on for about ten seconds before shutting it back off. The whole car was shaking from how rough the engine was idling and it did not sound good at all. I thought maybe it was the engine being “shocked” by the extreme increase in air flow so even tried starting it with air box on then very slowly pulled air box hose off of throttle body in hopes that it would allow the engine to slowly adjust to higher air flow and not run rough like it did before but as soon as the air box hose was removed about a third of the way off throttle body it started doing same thing.

[@DraftProject]

What I did is I removed the lower part of the intake box and left the upper part. It is very important to leave the upper part because the ECU needs the signal of the MAF sensor. You can see on the upper intake box, there is a built-in sensor. This is very important because this measures the air flow of the intake system. Once disconnected, the ECU will be confused, leaving the engine idling very rough. Try to leave the upper part. It may be hard but it's the only way to go. You just have to carefully reach for the dipstick. Actually, this is normally done on a car lifter. But in our case, we don't have that kind of access not unless you can jack the whole car very high. Hope it helps. Thanks a lot!

[@PW-dw7vf]

@@DraftProject very helpful. Will do this and check levels again. Thanks so much!

How many litters atf oil to be use for mazda 2 skyactive?

[@DraftProject]

Mazda Skyactiv ATF FZ Drain and Refill only (Without changing ATF filter) - 4 liters (With ATF filter being changed) - 4.5 - 4.7 liters Reminder: Please do measure the drained fluid. There are instances on other owners that they only drained 3 liters instead of 4 liters. Checking it will help you determine how much fluid you need to put back in. Also, don't forget to check the dipstick. Hope this helps. Thank you very much.

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

[@sayyro7447]

Yea change it I had the same vehicle with 200k and I did it it was much better

[@DraftProject]

¡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. In English translation: 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.

[@rafamerengues8935]

For the atf oil, what the manufacture volume?

[@DraftProject]

Unfortunately, I couldn't answer that since I don't have a service manual. Sorry for that. I always recommend measuring the drained fluid, so you will have an idea on how much fluid you need to pour into your transmission. Based on my experience, sometimes they drain from 3.5 to 4 liters for this vehicle.

[@redbustourguide]

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

[@DraftProject]

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!!

[@redbustourguide]

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.

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@kyyyy21]

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

[@DraftProject]

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

[@robertocarlosvasquezmanjar8688]

Cada cuanto kilómetros se cambia el fluido de aceite?

[@redbustourguide]

Where did you get the filter? Did it come with the oring?

[@DraftProject]

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.

[@shackled8636]

how different woud this be for a manual transmission?

[@DraftProject]

Manual transmission is a lot simpler. They don't have filters inside. You only need to change the fluid (drain/refill).

[@hamishr2367]

New fluid is now blue rather than red?..or is the older fluid just brown?..very good tutorial

[@DraftProject]

New fluid is blue. Once used, the color of the fluid changes to red due to oxidation which is normal. Thank you very much!

[@davidsandoval6537]

Question, I’m a novice and relatively new to the whole working on cars. I have a Mazda 3 2016, manual transmission this is where I gets silly but am I able to use “Automatic Transmission Fluid” or is it just called that.

[@DraftProject]

Nope. Automatic transmission fluid can not be used on manual transmissions since they have different oil viscosity and properties. Just ask your nearest dealership for the right manual transmission fluid for your vehicle.

[@davidsandoval6537]

Thank you!! I’m here now lol.

[@davidsandoval6537]

Also found out I don’t have filter

[@DraftProject]

@@davidsandoval6537 Yes. I forgot to mention that manual transmissions don't have filters. They only need oil. A simple drain refill would do the job. Glad to hear. Thanks man!

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.

[@dobermanguy9437]

I am only doing a drain and refill I hear it's very dangerous to change all of the fluid but then again to each its own whatever I'm draining I'm putting back in and that's it they say it's kind of dangerous to do all of it at once

[@DraftProject]

I also heard it from other people especially from the dealer itself. Upon experience, I guess it won't be dangerous if did correctly. The moment it becomes dangerous when done incorrectly like having or putting insufficient oil, wrong way of measuring fluid level and more. Filters do get dirty overtime, and it comes to the point that it needs to be replaced as well as the fluids.
