Such an awesome and very imformative video. Thank you so much. Thank you for all the information in the description too. This video needs to get noticed more.
My local Mazda dealer service department does not remove the pan, or replace the filter when they service the transmission. They stated they use a fluid replacement machine to totally replace all the fluid, which is more than comes out by removing the pan.
Ok. The pan and filter change are not done often since they require so much time and effort. Normally you could drain the old fluid and fill with new fluid and not remove the pan and filter. I did this because of the mileage and not knowing if the transmission fluid had ever been changed.
I believe some manufacturers do use a rubber gasket. When I was researching to do this job I couldn’t find an already made gasket and everything I found recommended using the method with RTV silicone gasket maker.
They are crush washers so they are designed to crush at the specified torque setting to help make a seal that won’t leak. If you reuse them you risk a leak so I would recommend changing them. They are inexpensive.
Hey, I was curious if you ever plan on changing the differential fluid? I also have a mazda cx-5 (2015) with 90,000 miles and was wondering when and if you’d do so
Getting a new pan would definitely be an alternative. I think you can get one for less than $40 and that would eliminate some of the time and hard work scraping off the old gasket material.
TY most complete video I've seen so far.
You’re welcome!
I've used a tiny bit of paper glue for kids to hold that bolt in the socket for the dip stick
Good idea

Thank you.
Excellent video. Truly appreciate the thoroughness (torque settings, socket sizes, links to materials used). Fantastic. Thank you Paul!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the excellent video. My daughter has a 2013 CX-5 that needs fluid replacement. This really helps me.
You’re welcome and I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for the Torque Settings
You’re welcome!
Great vid, thank you sir!! Getting ready to do mine.
You’re welcome! I hope everything goes well.
This is awesome
Thank you.

curious to know your opinion on this. though originally they use that paste as a gasket, what if we just used a rubber gasket instead?

Can I just use the old washers? As long as they’re not in a noticeably bad shape

My daughter’s CX-5 is not AWD (All-Wheel Drive) so there is no differential fluid to change.
@@PaulNaylor3okay, thank you!
You’re welcome.
The rear differential is every 30,000, and the transfer case is every 60,000. Told by my local Mazda dealership.
why not just get a new pan instead of trying to scrape all that
