ATF change frequency
I searched past threads but could not find an answer to this...
I own a 1994 touring-X, JDM. A sticker under the hood lists some maintenance to be performed. It says about the transmission oil: - manual (MT): lifelong fluid, do not change - automatic (AT): change every 12 months with ATF-M3 Mazda dealer says the touring-X does not require this yearly ATF change anymore than other AT car of their lineup (hard to believe, imho). Where is the truth ? Thx ! FYI, other info given by this sticker: - Engine oil: 10W-30 every 6 months or 5000km - steering fluid: ATF-M3 every 12 months - oil filter: 20000km - fuel filter: 100000km |
depends on alot of things how hard you drive the car temp etc.. fwiw a would never go 4 oil changes before changing my oil filter. and i have changed my manual trans fluid 1 since i got the car. if you can afford it do it it can only help an already strained trans keep going!

FYI, other info given by this sticker:
- Engine oil: 10W-30 every 3K Miles - steering fluid: ATF-M3 every ~24 months or 20K-30K miles - oil filter: 3K Miles - fuel filter: 15K miles That would be my advice, forget what the book or any dealer tells yah. |
