The best part about this is, you did it off the ground with no hoist. Just like 99% of people watchig this. Great tutorial mate. 👌
I’ve seen many instructional videos as good as this one but I’ve never seen better! Really well done guys.
If you have an issue with Mazda transmition: First try to program/update your transmition : Start the engine then after 30 seconds press on the breaks little hard. Then N then Switch off then M1 for 5 seconds and just press start, then N start the car then M2 for for 5 seconds then M1 ….wait till you see tachometer going up & wait till it goes down. It worked like magic no clicking sounds especially with reverse.

When pressing Start, is that after hitting the break?
Great job! Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Gret job - and kudos for using the correct RTV (ATF compatible)
Good job bro! and well explained Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for this. In order to not mess platking lot with oil, I will take out witn oil pump as much I can, then rest of it drain
Very structured and easy to follow.
I (for my car(s) do/did multiple drain and fills with 20 miles in between vs dropping the pan, then 1 drain/fill every 2-3 years.
Fantastic video thank you
Excelente video brother. Cogratulations

I see some people checking the dip stick while the car is on. Is that necessary?
Same process for the 2.2 diesel skyactive?
Hi, I know Skyactiv transaxle there are manufacturing in Thailand and Japan(not sure), but I never know before the original filter part why must be USA only. But the price no expensive ( In Thailand). Thanks for your VDO.
Also why are you torque tightening the transmission oil drain pan when its not pressurized?
What size of filter bolt and tourqe
If without the filter how many liters do you need
Thanks for the torque spec for the oil pan bolts, however what’s the torque sequence which is very important

Outwards criss cross torque pattern, the video shows the pattern clearly.
Hi , great job Same procedures with manual transmission too?
To properly check fluid level: fluid temp. 122 degrees Fahrenheit engine running. The stick will read considerably higher without the engine running. When the engine is running it's pumping fluid up into the transmission and torque converter lowering the level in the pan. The stick is marked for a running engine. The fluid temp. Is also vital. The temp. changes the fluid vescosity. Temperature makes a huge difference when checking levels. Mazda transmissions are good but you must follow specs. This fill is likely low. Follow the service manual!

Where did you put the floor jack at under the car???????
So how do you guys feel about the supposed "lifetime" transmission fluid Mazda talks about since this is a Skyactiv model?
This is why I l like gear box tranny easy to change fluid. Cvt transmission it’s complicated and no room for error. Otherwise it’s going to cost you grip if mess up this procedure.
Why not Mazda oem FZ atf? With as dirty as that engine bay is i hope they change fluids and filters alot.
Great video, I was wondering if you put different fluids will it cause a problem? Because there will be some left in the converter.

yes, they can be problems if you mix different transmission fluids AND the wrong spec fluid will not work optimally in the transmission. Yes, it initially hurts buying 5qts of Mazda fluid, but you have peace of mind knowing it's the right fluid; no chemistry project mixing in additives to convert the wrong spec fluid

Ya esta bien pasada la transmission, si quieres hacerlo de todos modos, extrae la mayor cantidad de liquido, midelo y rellenalo con fluido nuevo la cantidad exacta que sacastes.

Is it necessary to wait 24 hours to pour the tyranny fluid? I've seen multiple mechanics just wait the 1 hour make sure it seals then they pour the fluid. After pouring the fluid its then recommended to let the car sit for 24 hour so that the seal can cure. Or do I have to wait 24 hours like you did to then pour the fluid?

l would have cleaned off the old RTV from the transmission housing as well. It would suck if the pan would start to leak after all that effort. Also, I buy the original ATF FZ from Ravenol. The Liqui Moly stuff isn't exactly specified for the Skyactiv FW6 transmission.

Everything was superb. Only thing I saw wrong was using a nipple to refill the fluid. What made you use the RTV gasket maker over buying a filter with a rubber gasket? Seems like you are creating work for yourself when you change it next time.

The "filter" doesn't have a gasket, it snaps into place with O-ring then 2 x 10mm bolts. The gasket maker for the pan is O.E.M. far better sealing that old school rubber gaskets that degrade over time.

no, you do not need to drop the transmission pan; however, w/o dropping the pan, you can't change the transmission filter. Also, w/o dropping the pan, you will only be exchanging a partial amount of the fluid (even less than if you drop the pan, but still not all 8 qts). If you don't drop the pan, in my opinion, you would need to drain, then refill the exact amount...then drive for 10-15 miles and drain again and refill the exact amount to get the most new fluid in and the most old fluid out. The main benefit of NOT dropping the pan is having to replace the rtv gasket. The drawbacks are you can't change the filter, clean up the inside of the pan and magnet, and you use twice as much transmission fluid if you do the drain/fill cycle twice. Even getting 4-5 qts of new fluid in is better than none, but you have to realize the remaining 50% is the older fluid.
Hi, i have this situation, Mazda 6 , 2014 automatic, i drive 60 km/h , i stop accelerating and then i push the gas pedal again, doing this i feel a play between transmision and wheels and also a noise' clunk' . Is this normal?

Sounds like you have a very similar situation as with my 2003 Ford Explorer 4.0L SOHC. Let up on the gas, then give it some gas and hear the clunka-clunk sound. It's definitely something you should look into. Perhaps the tranny needs a partial rebuild at worst case, or just some more fluid at best.

I just bought a new pan for this job they're really cheap. Also you should have cleaned the old rtv off the transmission. I bet you that pan is going to leak.

total system capacity is around 8 qts, but you'll never get all 8 out because it is in other parts of the transmission (i.e. torque converter). Doing it this way, just measure the amount of fluid you removed/drained and add that amount back in. Take it for a small drive and check the dip stick with car running and transmission warmed up. Add fluid as necessary.
Whats with mazdadealership and service centers refusing to do this service and saying it will cause the transmission to slip? I've kept up with my maintenance besides that, but i really fear they are lying to me about the trans.
@ahmedaltowaileb
Жыл бұрын
Transmissions are sensitive parts, they don’t deal with combustion which makes them a bit complicated to be diagnosed for problems. Dealerships assumes that because there is no combustion no need to do fluid service on that and transmissions should be kept sealed. Also, when there is a high mileage on the transmission, there might be wear on the clutches and clutches material are just closing the gaps, by doing fluid change you are exposing all those gaps and transmission might act crazy or need rebuild. If you are having no issues with the transmission and not very high mileage, go ahead and do the service.

... it is a liability thing. Once they crack the transmission pan, all responsibilities are on them/the tech. Also, Mazda specs the fluid as 'lifetime', so there is no provision to change the fluid. Same goes for the rear diff (on AWD CX-5). If the trans and diff are ever submerged under water, then by all means, change the fluid. Again, it is a dealership liability issue.
Didn't remove the crusty remains of gasket off the trans housing, just stuck the new over the remains of old. If you're going to post a demo.... at least do the job correctly.
great video. I think you'd save some time with removing the air box again and checking the level after the job and everything if you simply measure what came out and put that amount back in. Assuming there's no leaks that would have led to a loss in the oil level.
