2017 Mazda 6 Transmission and Coolant Drain Fill

In this episode, my 2017 Mazda 6 is approaching 120k miles and it is recommended to drain/fill the coolant. While the transmission fluid is "lifetime" I replace every 60k miles to prolong the life of the skyactiv transmission.
You will need:
1 Gallon of FL22 or Equivalent. If using concentrate, you will need another gallon of distilled water.
4qt of ATF Type FZ Transmission fluid
14mm Crush washer
8mm Torx socket for drain bolt
10mm socket
Long transmission funnel for filling the transmission
Radiator funnel with wide mouth for filling radiator

Good video. I have a 2017 6 GT. With 72k miles.just did a coolant drain and fill. Next is to do transmission fluid drain and fill. How much are the transmission fluid from dealers?

Hi mate after how long we have to change transmission fluid because I live in Australia they say lifetime??

Some don't change at all. I have heard reports of cars having 250k+ and not changing and it's been fine. The skyactiv locks in all 6 gears so it's not hard on fluid at all. But I use the car for Uber and lots of stop and go for hours so it was worth it for me due to the miles I accrue and how long I will be keeping the car.

Im in Australia. Do not take his advice. I have pulled many transmissions apart, lifetime means until it flogs itself. Change your fluid and filter every 80000klms.

How many gallons of coolant needed.!

@Drive2Freedom 29 күн бұрын

I bought a 1 gallon concentrate which makes 2 gallons at 50/50. Its enough to drain it twice.

Waste of time unless you change transmission filter.

While changing the transmission filter is a more thorough approach, multiple cx-5's on the forums have passed 250k with no transmission fluid changes and are just fine. These transmissions lock up in each gear so wear is minimal. My 6 is now at 124k miles and havaen't had any shifting issues. If anything, after the first change I can now go from 6th to 2nd without any "clunks" which I believe perhaps it was originally low on fluid from the factory.

You are so misinformed.
