2014-2018 Mazda 3, 2.5L manual trans fluid, engine oil, & air filter change

Показать описание

Engine oil: 4.8 qts 0w-20 full synthetic (I run 5w20 in the summer)

Manual transmission fluid: 1.8 qts 75w80 or 75w90 Gl4 trans fluid (I went with ammsoil)

Splash guard bolts are 10mm (8 bolts total) and I used a small flat head and needle nose plyers to remove the 6 push pins

Engine oil drain plug 17mm

Transmission drain and fill plugs I managed with a 15/16 as I did not have a big enough metric socket

Great video. One old timer thing i would add. Best practice is to loosen fill plug FIRST! Not likely to be a issue on a Mazda3 BUT if for some reason you cant get it out AFTER you drained the tranny your stuck. BTDT.

I just want to say I appreciate and thank you for posting this video. Not many videos are out there on this transmission fluid change type at all I have a 2.0 L Mexico built thats a 6spd same transmission setup

After 150 miles, shifting is smoother but still could be improved(still a bit rough down shifting). Found a service bulletin about these years sometimes requiring additional bleeding of air from the clutch master/slave cylinder from the dealer if your pedal is lower than a certain height from the floor. Will try this soon and follow up with a video of this process

Great video! I have a 2015 and was wondering about the transmission fluid.

Hi, nice tutorial. Just bought a used (112k km) 2014 manual mazda 3 2.0 and I was thinking about doing an oil change for this gearbox, as 1st to 2nd is quite rough or notchy I, I don't know how to explain it. Did you see any changes after the fluid change ?
