According to the service manual, 2.3 litters.
Then, around 2 and a half quart.

I use Red Line. 75w-90 is recommended for tranny.
As for Diff, what kind of Diff is installed ?
LSD, Open or Torsen?

Use MT 90 as it works much better than MTL or that atf/manual fluid (which btw was recommended by a mazda dealer, they suck)

See the Factory Service Mnual at this web site under How To's / Manual. The gear oil specs are listed in the first few pages of the appropriate chapter. It will also show the correct method for adding oil, as most people do this incorrectly, especially with the TII transmission.
