Very good job Igor, but I would not spray solvent into the bottom of the trans for fear of contaminating the new oil. I would spray cleaner on cloth only and wipe gasket area instead.
Reasonable notice, but there is nothing to be worry about, because what I used is a quick evaporated surface cleaner, which disappears without any stain. So it doesn't make any influence on oil.
...not according to Mazda Fluid is "lifetime", there is no mention of it in the owners manual, and the dip stick is so small and unreachable that it isn't meant to be touched except in dire circumstances.
I know I may be lazy. But since its "lifetime" fluid I assume the filter is too. So I can do a easy drain and fill like on a older Toyota? I feel like a drain and fill at 60k and a at 100k do fluid and filter.
I do mine every 20,000 miles. Why wait ? Fluid and filter is cheap. Yes drain and fill. Plus when you go sell your car you have record of keeping it pristine.
Nice job. Quick question, how's the performance with the gasket? I've seen online that people mostly recommend using RTV because they've had leaks with the gasket. Also, saw that the complete flush can have a negative effect and cause slippage - Scotty Kilmer and ChrisFix had some videos about it. any comments on that??
It's ok to use gasket, if it's soft, if gasket is iron, leaks can appear. If you want to use RTV, it's good too, but make sure you use specialized one, and give it some time to get dry, before pouring the oil. If you change oil often, then no issues will occur.
I work as a professional Automotive technician here in the United States I watched his video very carefully and I must say he did a very good job he did everything the way I would have done it he cleaned it properly he used brake cleaner which evaporates quickly, every move he made was correct
The 2020 CX-30's (2.5 L AWD) front differential, has a major problem. The fill plug has a metal bracket that partially covers it. You cannot remove the plug as it is. Could you make a video that would show how to move the differential enough that drivers could do a fluid change? Mazda fixed the problem on the 2021 and newer CX-30's. Maybe it would be possible to swap a older bracket with a newer one? So far Mazda has blown me off for any kind of a fix. The dealerships have told me that the differential is "unserviceable". Thanks
You have to love Mazda for easy unobstructed access for this job. My wife's previous Lexus had a few sides right next to the frame making it a little difficult to do this job. I also see you are using red Idemitsu ATF instead of the Mazda FZ blue. I know it's been said that Indemau makes the blue Mazda FZ fluid but the the exact specs may be a bit different other than the meaningless blue dye. Here in America we have easy access to Valvoline Max Life ATF which says it meets Mazda FZ spec but I'm leary about using it.
It has a dipstick with temperature marks. In my case, oil was cold, there were no leaks, and gearbox worked good. So i pour the same volume of oil that i drained.
@@igorpestun8703 not saying you were wrong but i've read elsewhere on camry's and others sometimes the volume removed is not correct and it is better to level set every time.
Idemitsu fluids are Good, when I service my CX-9 Mazda Oem fluid is what i used , I'm Not really sure compatible aftermarket oils are available.? I service every 50K ( Drain and fill ) Changed filter at 100K ,even though the dealer says you don't have too. Transmission has been flawless.
Igor, how do you know the right amout of fluid to fill up if there is not dipstick; The old fluid capacity is unreliable bc some oil has burned from use, so does mazda has a recommended refill capacity for the transmission fluid/filter change?
Hello, it has a dipstick, it's very short because located almost at the bottom. On this particular case it was first oil change for this car, transmission worked well, oil was cold, so pouring back the same volume of drained oil is ok.
Hello great video👍🏼I have a 2016 Mazda cx5 with 99,000 miles and the transmission had never service it yet, do you recommended to do the service? Thank you
Amazing job Igor 💯! From your experience, how reliable is automatic transmission on Mazda CX-5, of course with good maintenance? In another words, if you have to choose between manual and automatic transmission, which one would you take? 😊 Keep it up with great work!
Hello, I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5. I have looked for information on changing the oil and the service manual says that the oil is for life. The question is, do I do maintenance or not? Do I change the oil and filter or not?
Hello! No oil is not for life, it says deliberately to make you change the gearbox in future, because it's more expensive. Change oil regularly. What is your mileage for today? If it's too big already, changing oil might lead to transmission issues or even fail.
@@igorpestun8703 , hello, thanks for answering, the mileage of the car is 116.817 today (188.000 km).... I don't know if the previous owners changed the transmission oil... what do you recommend?
@@camilo9421 Yeah, it's already a big mileage for one oil. What would i do is to try change oil slowly, step by step. You can change one liter per week, and then change it full with filter. It is dangerous for gearbox to change all at once, because dirt that contains inside can stuck the valve body, and transmission might fail. Or you can change it with flushing on special machine, and after change oil, change filter and pour new oil, it's more expensive but more safety. Anyway keep in mind that gearbox might fail, because it's too high mileage for one oil already.
@@igorpestun8703 thank you very much, I will take what you say into consideration... what I realize is that the maintenance standards change according to the country... here the transmission oil is generally known to be changed at 200,000... .(124,000 mln). the engine oil every 10,000 km (6,213 miles) .... thank you very much again I think I will change a liter per week and then everything. 😉
I have a 2016 cx-9 with 116,000km, the transmission has just started to jerk a little when upshifting or downshifting from 4-5 & 3-4. Transmission fluid has never been changed.

Unfortunately, i ithink it's too late to change oil. I wouldn't fix the problem. Changing oil on this high mileage can ruin the transmission. You can try to change oil with flushing, but keep in mind that gearbox can fail after that.

Hello, I have a CX5 , 2015 AT with 178000 km. .Definitely I must change the oil, the question is if is like in the video or I must pay for a change with an automatic device?
Hello, We have already discuss this question in the comments below, you can check them, the most important point is, that on such a high mileage it is dangerous to change oil rapidly, because all dirt that keeps inside the gearbox can be flushed with new oil, and transmission might fail.
Many auto transmissions on other car makes use gaskets. Gaskets are simpler and faster to install. RTV - what size bead would you use? You also need to wait for it to set. Why on earth Mazda decided to use RTV is beyond me.
Mazda recommends not changing the automatic transmission filter because it's not a paper filter, is this right ? They recommend I just change the transmission oil.
Hello Igor, I saw in the comments that you recommend the transmission fluid flush every 45,000 km ----> How often do you recommend the transmission filter change? Thank you!
What is the name of the gasket you used? Because I tried buying the Wix Gasket and Filter Kit and it did not line up with the holes even though it said it was genuine fit.
@@michaelburgos758 well, it is a serious situation, just oil change can ruin the gearbox. Check comments below, there are a lot of discussions what to do in this case.
What year is that CX5? If it has red ATF, its pre 2012 Post 2012, all new mazdas used blue FZ ATF. If its post 2012, why are you using red ATF? The FZ has no service interval, but there is nothing stopping you from taking a tiny sample to see what colour it has become and a drain/top-up x2. I have not heard of anyone having a problem with FZ ATF even without toping up.
@@igorpestun8703 I agree and to that end I had an email conversation with a Mazda Engineer from Rayong, Thailand, near where I live about 3 years ago. The FZ is a longer lasting ATF than the red stuff. The TCM continually monitors its performance and adjusts the timings to remove shift-shock and shudder of the transmission. He stated that it would be possible to do a drain/top-up and the TCM will notice the change in performance and re-adjust. He stated that the ATF cooler should prevent overheating of the ATF, but a dashboard alarm will illuminate if the ATF exceeds 130C. In which case a drain/top-up x 2 would be appropriate and prevent problems.
...correct. so the 3L left in the TQC will mix with the new fluid and you'll have 60-70% new solution. you can drive the car for 10-15 min, mix all the trans fluid, then drain pan only (don't remove pan), and replace what was drained. Again, you won't get all of the old fluid out, but you have put more new fluid in than what lives in the the TQC...
Wow why doesn't anyone warm up to 50c or 155F and check level? There was some fluid in the filter. Yet another Mazda with a shorter life :( If not using the factory ATF-FZ? At least you could have added some lubeguard additive!
Yes, according to manual it is necessary to heat it, on the other hand, if there were no leaks and transmission worked well, it is possible to pour the same volume you drained. Oil was a client's choice
@@igorpestun8703 I see the comments about not draining all of the oil. Will the new oil mix with the old? In that case, just make oilchange more often? Problem solved.
Hello Igor, thanks for the video. I have a Mazda CX-5 2018 Grand Touring and I don't know if the previous owner changed the transmission oil. Mine is 103,000 miles/164,800 Kms and I would like to have this oil changed and the Rear differential oil as well but I'm scared that it might cause problems in the future. What should I do ? Should I just change the filter and the oil located in the oil pan which is approximately 4.3 Liters or should flush the whole transmission oil ? By just changing the 4.3 Liter on the oil pan and filter should be better than nothing and might not cause any issues or slippage. Please, let me know
Hello. Well it's already a high mileage for oil, changing it now, might lead to transmission fail, cause of all dirt and wear contaminations which already inside. Maybe you should start changing oil step by step, try to change liter per week, during month. And then flush it flush it with 4 liters and change oil with filter. Also, we've already discussed this question in the comments below, read them also.
Great video. I have a Mazda Cx-9 2020. The car has 80,000 kms on it. Is it safe to change oil transmission? Thank you & looking forward on more Mazda videos.
@@igorpestun8703 : I'm not into conspiracy theories. If you're correct, that means that manufacturers would sacrifice reliability reputation for a bit of extra revenue. That doesn't make sense at all…
@deasystems it is not specific for Mazda. All the car manufacturers says their transmission oil is lifelong. Because they know it will work fine during the warranty period and they will change it for a high fee after it breaks.
mazda fz fluid. call your local dealer parts counter. be prepared for a small fortune. plan on 4-5 qts of just dropping the fluid but not dropping the pan. 6 qts if dropping the pan and changing the trans filter
Nice work bro, hey where can I contact you for an issue in my mazda 3 2014, have a leak btw motor and Transmision, the agency told me it could be the motor or Transmision seal. It has 140 thousand km
Hey! Thank you! I don't think it's possible to meet, because currently i live in russia. You was told correct, it's gearbox or engine seal, more possible it's engine leak.
@@igorpestun8703 I changed the fluid. And it was pretty much like in your video. The transmission holds about 8 qts, and doing it like this will get about 4.5 qts out of it. Thanks for the help!
Здравствуйте, я хачу себе cx5 2019 купить, бензин, какой мотор хороший? Что лучше автоматик или ручная скорость переключения, мне вопщето и мерседес б 200 нравится вот не знаю кто из лучше 😅
Only use Mazda atf!!! Also he forgot to follow Mazda procedures as stated in service information. Trans fluid needs to be 122°F, then check level. With the replacement of the filter, your filter holds an extra .5qt to 1qt you need to account for. When all done, you need to put transmission in intial learn mode on your scan tool to relearn shift data with new fluid. Thank me later.
The transmission was cold, so the fluid did not expand. He replaced with the same amount of fluid of the same temperature. The fluid is the same used by Mazda. Mazda does not make transmission fluid. They buy it from Idemitsu, color it blue, and then slap their label on it. You can thank me now.
I would not buy a MAZDA. I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. It burns oil from day one. I took it to MAZDA and they found a bulletin identifying my car by VIN as one of the ones that burn oil. They said in order for them to fix it, I had to wait for the engine light to come on. What sense does that make? My car's warranty is going to be up by then. This company doesn't stand behind their cars.
Make sure pcv has not failed. Failed pcv can cause oil to burn. Might have been faulty from the start if you are burning oil. Is it the turbo 2.5 or normal 2.5l engine?
@@lgsprings5623 dude, dont let up. Mazda makes good stuff but thier turbos are garbage. Look up cx7 data and show them. 2. Make sure oil is burning and not leaking. 3. Cant drive it hard, just cant. Car not meant to drive hard.
@@mikeschiavoni5973 I literally got off the phone with Mazda Corporate who had to respond to my BBB complaint. They told me to bring it in so they could start monitoring oil usage. I'm retired so I don't drive my car much so there isn't enough time to determine oil consumption. I'll be out of warranty. I took it in a few months after I got it and they confirmed that it was half a quart low. They didn't document it for my oil changes even though I asked them to. I was an idiot for not double checking. I had a lot going on at the time. I'm pursuing joining the lawsuit and my state attorney general. What a nightmare.
@@lgsprings5623 damm, im sorry. I wish i had asked what was up first. 1/2 qt over 5k is not bad. Certainly not worth stressing over. Shorten oil change interval to 3500k and i bet you will see no loss at all. I should have mentioned i do change my oil much sooner than mazda is directed by manufacturer. Im not a mechanic nor work for mazda but it sounds like everything is ok. I have over 150k and 10 yrs on my engine/transmission and its great. All new cars are doing this oil consumption thing, imo due to extended oil interval to 5k miles. They didnt do any magic to go from 3k to 5k with the oil or pistons, they just made the oil pan larger. You really do have a very nice ride, enjoy, dont stress.
@@igorpestun8703 The reason I asked it is because when I tried to look into the engine bay of my 2022 cx5, the structure of those component you need to take off before you can reach the dip stick is different. I dont know how to take off their airvent component any more
Tried doing this and while it was mostly successful, there's a leak around the front of the pan. I used the Mazda silicone goop to seal it, but is there a better way to seal it?
If the Mazda CX-5 has 40,000 miles(64,000 kilometers) would you recommend getting a transmission fluid flush or dropping the pan and changing the filter? Or doing both, getting a flush and then dropping the pan? Thank you
In case you guys didn’t get the memo, you haven’t been able to trust the fluid change intervals, that are in the owners manual for a long time . Do we really think that any car manufacturer wants our vehicle to last a long time? No, they just want it to last until you’re out of the warranty period
@@igorpestun8703 i decided to remove the air intake and found the dipstick. Its in such a bad location under a hose. I couldn't get any of my ratchets to reach that 10mm bolt.

Hola tengo un mazda 6 2017 automatico con 92.500km debo hacerle el cambio de aceite a la caja de transmición automatica???
hola, sí, tengo que cambiar con el filtro
what's the mileage of this car ?
What year is that CX5? If it has red ATF, its pre 2012 Post 2012, all new mazdas used blue FZ ATF. If its post 2012, why are you using red ATF? The FZ has no service interval, but there is nothing stopping you from taking a tiny sample to see what colour it has become and a drain/top-up x2.
I have not heard of anyone having a problem with FZ ATF even without toping up.
Well, changing oil it is always a good idea. Oil was a customer's choice. I don't remember what year is this car.
@@igorpestun8703 I agree and to that end I had an email conversation with a Mazda Engineer from Rayong, Thailand, near where I live about 3 years ago. The FZ is a longer lasting ATF than the red stuff. The TCM continually monitors its performance and adjusts the timings to remove shift-shock and shudder of the transmission. He stated that it would be possible to do a drain/top-up and the TCM will notice the change in performance and re-adjust. He stated that the ATF cooler should prevent overheating of the ATF, but a dashboard alarm will illuminate if the ATF exceeds 130C. In which case a drain/top-up x 2 would be appropriate and prevent problems.
@@csjrogerson2377 Wow, i see you made a great investigation work! Thanks, good thing to know!👍
My CX-5 is at 94,000 miles, never been changed. Should I follow your method shown here or just leave it alone?
No, it's time to change. But it's better to flush it first. It's already a high mileage.
@IGOR PESTUN so have it flushed and cleaned by a machine then add the new oil? Should the filter be changed out as well? Thanks!
@@dungeonrice6370 Yes, of course. It is necessary to change filter. Change oil, drive a little, then change oil with filter.
@@dungeonrice6370don't use a machine
So, the oil left in the torque converter is not removed?
Yes. It's better to flush transmission first, but it was a customer's decision not to do it.
...correct. so the 3L left in the TQC will mix with the new fluid and you'll have 60-70% new solution. you can drive the car for 10-15 min, mix all the trans fluid, then drain pan only (don't remove pan), and replace what was drained. Again, you won't get all of the old fluid out, but you have put more new fluid in than what lives in the the TQC...
Wow why doesn't anyone warm up to 50c or 155F and check level? There was some fluid in the filter. Yet another Mazda with a shorter life :( If not using the factory ATF-FZ? At least you could have added some lubeguard additive!
Yes, according to manual it is necessary to heat it, on the other hand, if there were no leaks and transmission worked well, it is possible to pour the same volume you drained. Oil was a client's choice
@@igorpestun8703 If you dropped it hot/warm it's a different volume when cold from a bottle.
@@CarlBurtons Yes you right, I know. Initially oil was drained cold.
@carl Such hostility! So do you repair cars for a living? You claim Mazda ATF is the only one to use yet you think Lubegard is approved by Mazda?😊
Dang, someone detail that engine compartment! I have breakfast on mine.
Perfect 🎉
It might have been nice to know what product he was spraying everywhere to clean it with.
It is brake cleaner Wurth, Liqui Moly, and Metaco
What cleaner did you use?!?!? Would live some of that.
Brake cleaner
I have a Mazda cx5 wats the time interval for transfer case oil change.
Oil each 45 thousands km oil and filter each 90
Can you tell me the brand of the spray you use and where to buy the filter and the gasket?
You can buy everything online, spray brand is Liqui Moly
Nice, but I would delete the annoying music and leave your narrative explaining what you were doing. Very disturbing music.
Music was awesome
No, the music is annoying!
😂😊
@@jimbo4311I lovebit too😂
Good tunes.
Why not also change the oil in the torque converter ??? You added clean oil to a lot of used oil still in transmission !! !
Yes, you right. But it was too expensive for customer to flush.
I love armchair mechanics
Anyone know how much transmission fluid a 2017 NA CX-5 takes?
4.5 L (4.6.... 4.7)
can you use Valvoline Maxlife ATF? Also can ATF Dialysis method be used instead of this drain and fill? Thanks
Yes, this method can be used, but it's also necessary to change filter. What about Valvoline, I'm not sure
Hi i need to know if i change oil transmission it's need to be reprograming or change it normally. I have cx5 2019
Hello. I've never reprogrammed. Just change normally.
@@igorpestun8703 Thank you, I appreciate it.
2 questions, what is the mileage interval for the AT fluid and is the air filter serviceable?
AT fluid change each 45 thousand, and air filter you can change each 10 thousand kilometers. It is serviceable.
The interior cabin air filter as well as the engine air filter are very easy to change
Do you have a website link for that same exact gasket??
Hello, no I don't have it
what are the cleaning products you were using?
It was Wurth and Liqui Moly "Schnell reiniger"
Can you make a vid including complete transmission flush?
Yeah, sure. If this work on a next car will be negotiated with a customer. I assume it will not be Mazda.
@@igorpestun8703 I see the comments about not draining all of the oil. Will the new oil mix with the old? In that case, just make oilchange more often? Problem solved.
@@FDVUWEB Yes, you right. Change oil often is correct. In this case filter replacement will be more rare.
Hello Igor, thanks for the video.
I have a Mazda CX-5 2018 Grand Touring and I don't know if the previous owner changed the transmission oil. Mine is 103,000 miles/164,800 Kms and I would like to have this oil changed and the Rear differential oil as well but I'm scared that it might cause problems in the future.
What should I do ?
Should I just change the filter and the oil located in the oil pan which is approximately 4.3 Liters or should flush the whole transmission oil ?
By just changing the 4.3 Liter on the oil pan and filter should be better than nothing and might not cause any issues or slippage.
Please, let me know
Hello. Well it's already a high mileage for oil, changing it now, might lead to transmission fail, cause of all dirt and wear contaminations which already inside. Maybe you should start changing oil step by step, try to change liter per week, during month. And then flush it flush it with 4 liters and change oil with filter.
Also, we've already discussed this question in the comments below, read them also.
Great video.
I have a Mazda Cx-9 2020. The car has 80,000 kms on it. Is it safe to change oil transmission?
Thank you & looking forward on more Mazda videos.
Thank you. Yes it's safe to change oil now.
It's totally safe to do so if you have someone competent doing the work. But why would you do something that the manufacturer doesn't recommend?
@@deasystems Hello, manufacturer doesn't recommend you to change oil, because it's more expensive for you to change entire transmission.
@@igorpestun8703 : I'm not into conspiracy theories. If you're correct, that means that manufacturers would sacrifice reliability reputation for a bit of extra revenue. That doesn't make sense at all…
@deasystems it is not specific for Mazda. All the car manufacturers says their transmission oil is lifelong. Because they know it will work fine during the warranty period and they will change it for a high fee after it breaks.
Какой фирмы фильтр и прокладка? Насколько эта прокладка надежней герметика?
Фильтр марки Patron. Китай. Прокладка довольно надёжная, претензий по ним не было.
good job but you failed in the oil the mazdas have atf fz blue color the oil so at any time that transmission will be damaged
Hello, oil was client's choice. Technically it matches manufacturer's demands.
How do you know that the fluid is not the same as Mazdas? Does Mazda make their own fluid?
Why is that car so dusty? I’ve never seen so much dust on a car, especially the engine bay. Looks like really fine dust too…
have you ever seen a car in the desert regions? Kuwait? UAE? Oman?
What atf oil type should i use on my 2017 mazda CX-5 grand touring?
mazda fz fluid. call your local dealer parts counter. be prepared for a small fortune. plan on 4-5 qts of just dropping the fluid but not dropping the pan. 6 qts if dropping the pan and changing the trans filter
So very true. Another Mazda tech used Castro which makes ATF that meets FZ spec.
@loden888 yes thats the one i went with and its driving great...
Nice work bro, hey where can I contact you for an issue in my mazda 3 2014, have a leak btw motor and Transmision, the agency told me it could be the motor or Transmision seal. It has 140 thousand km
Hey! Thank you! I don't think it's possible to meet, because currently i live in russia. You was told correct, it's gearbox or engine seal, more possible it's engine leak.
@@igorpestun8703 .
Is this the same process for a 2020 Mazda CX-30 with 2.5 inline 4?
Oh, i don't actually remember
@@igorpestun8703 I changed the fluid. And it was pretty much like in your video. The transmission holds about 8 qts, and doing it like this will get about 4.5 qts out of it. Thanks for the help!
Здравствуйте, я хачу себе cx5 2019 купить, бензин, какой мотор хороший? Что лучше автоматик или ручная скорость переключения, мне вопщето и мерседес б 200 нравится вот не знаю кто из лучше 😅

I understand that the manual says ATF FZ and that one does not say
Mazda does not make ATF. They buy it from Idemitsu then slap a Mazda label on it.
@@loden888not sure why you need to mention that, the OP didn't mention Mazda. Only type FZ, which can be had by several brands, not just Idemitsu
This funcionality for Mazda 3 not turbo?
No, it is different
@@igorpestun8703
What is the exact volume of oil to add?
I have the same question too. ATF refilled level never check at all.
@@cheuman1 thanks
Only use Mazda atf!!! Also he forgot to follow Mazda procedures as stated in service information. Trans fluid needs to be 122°F, then check level. With the replacement of the filter, your filter holds an extra .5qt to 1qt you need to account for. When all done, you need to put transmission in intial learn mode on your scan tool to relearn shift data with new fluid. Thank me later.
The transmission was cold, so the fluid did not expand. He replaced with the same amount of fluid of the same temperature. The fluid is the same used by Mazda. Mazda does not make transmission fluid. They buy it from Idemitsu, color it blue, and then slap their label on it. You can thank me now.
@@loden888no. Then explain Ravenol and Aisin making blue FZ type fluid. It's not the same.
Donde puedo comprar ese atf los busque en Amazon y simpre tiene una letra en el empaque, este no lo tiene para poder pedir el mismo

Ottimo lavoro. Troppa polvere in quel vano motore però!
Grazie! Sì, il motore è sporco, devi lavarlo
I would not buy a MAZDA. I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. It burns oil from day one. I took it to MAZDA and they found a bulletin identifying my car by VIN as one of the ones that burn oil. They said in order for them to fix it, I had to wait for the engine light to come on. What sense does that make? My car's warranty is going to be up by then. This company doesn't stand behind their cars.
Make sure pcv has not failed. Failed pcv can cause oil to burn. Might have been faulty from the start if you are burning oil. Is it the turbo 2.5 or normal 2.5l engine?
@@mikeschiavoni5973 It's a Turbo. When I took it in they said they checked the PCV. Thanks, for the response.
@@lgsprings5623 dude, dont let up. Mazda makes good stuff but thier turbos are garbage. Look up cx7 data and show them. 2. Make sure oil is burning and not leaking. 3. Cant drive it hard, just cant. Car not meant to drive hard.
@@mikeschiavoni5973 I literally got off the phone with Mazda Corporate who had to respond to my BBB complaint. They told me to bring it in so they could start monitoring oil usage. I'm retired so I don't drive my car much so there isn't enough time to determine oil consumption. I'll be out of warranty. I took it in a few months after I got it and they confirmed that it was half a quart low. They didn't document it for my oil changes even though I asked them to. I was an idiot for not double checking. I had a lot going on at the time. I'm pursuing joining the lawsuit and my state attorney general. What a nightmare.
@@lgsprings5623 damm, im sorry. I wish i had asked what was up first. 1/2 qt over 5k is not bad. Certainly not worth stressing over. Shorten oil change interval to 3500k and i bet you will see no loss at all. I should have mentioned i do change my oil much sooner than mazda is directed by manufacturer. Im not a mechanic nor work for mazda but it sounds like everything is ok. I have over 150k and 10 yrs on my engine/transmission and its great. All new cars are doing this oil consumption thing, imo due to extended oil interval to 5k miles. They didnt do any magic to go from 3k to 5k with the oil or pistons, they just made the oil pan larger. You really do have a very nice ride, enjoy, dont stress.
Cześć wam co ile tyś kilometrów wymieniać olej w skrzyni biegów

Can you make one for 2022 model?
Yeah, if I'll have one in service
@@igorpestun8703 The reason I asked it is because when I tried to look into the engine bay of my 2022 cx5, the structure of those component you need to take off before you can reach the dip stick is different. I dont know how to take off their airvent component any more
Tried doing this and while it was mostly successful, there's a leak around the front of the pan. I used the Mazda silicone goop to seal it, but is there a better way to seal it?
Gasket. Or a good sealant like Victor Reinz. And all surfaces must be dry.
If the Mazda CX-5 has 40,000 miles(64,000 kilometers) would you recommend getting a transmission fluid flush or dropping the pan and changing the filter? Or doing both, getting a flush and then dropping the pan? Thank you
On this mileage It's better to change oil twice. Change/drive/change again. Not necessary to change filter yet.
I have a Mazda cx3 gt with 107k on trans. Can I change trans oil and filter at this mileage? Thx for video!
It depends on in what condition oil is, and was it changed previously or not. Also check for comments below, there are a lot of information.

@@igorpestun8703 did u get the filter from Mazda or another company
@@toby1st45 🙂no, filter was made by "Patron" not the best choice as for me.
Why do people think that only Mazda ATF FZ is the only fluid that can be used and that using anything else will damage the transmission?
Mazda says don't even put FZ in their older transmissions that specify the red stuff. Skyactiv needs FZ. Not worth the risk, just use the right stuff
How often do I need to do this maintenance?
It is better to do it each 45 thousand kilometers.
It's in your Owner's Manual. The transmission oil only requires changing if the transmission has been submerged.
@@deasystems I agree with Igor
In case you guys didn’t get the memo, you haven’t been able to trust the fluid change intervals, that are in the owners manual for a long time .
Do we really think that any car manufacturer wants our vehicle to last a long time? No, they just want it to last until you’re out of the warranty period

So, did it drive or shift any better after the fluid change?
No, it didn't. And this is the sign of a good workable transmission. It means that oil service was made in time.
