- Quick tutorial on replacing the transmission pan and trans filter on a 2017 Mazda 3. Pan was replaced due to damage and filter was replaced while having the trans pan already off.
I wish you were my car's mechanic! You did everything flawless what was supposed to do without cutting any corners. Have a 2011 Mazda 3i and don't trust shops from experience. Was it's best when I got it and the same up until took it somewhere for a specific break petal issue I was aware of when bought. Sparing pages of detail got car back compromised in many ways and not fixed.
If you have an issue with Mazda transmition: First try to program/update your transmition : Start the engine then after 30 seconds press on the breaks little hard. Then N then Switch off then M1 for 5 seconds and just press start, then N start the car then M2 for for 5 seconds then M1 ….wait till you see tachometer going up & wait till it goes down. It worked like magic no clicking sounds especially with reverse.
Thank you for another excellent step-by-step video with all the details to make a tranny fluid change in late model Mazdas!
Appreciate this upload homie. Not exactly the same, but I have an 08 Mazda 3 Hatch and this gave me the confidence to conquer the job. 💪🏼
Awesome video!!! Thanks so much!! Will be replacing transmission fluid soon.
2014”5 mazda 3 2.0L 4.2 quarts came out with filter change. Great video detailed.
Very great tutorial. Good and complete.
Excellent content. You have a knack for teaching/training, good pacing, no extra confusions. More Mazda "general maintenance" content is always welcomed!
Questions about checking transmission fluid. Car Running vs Turned off? Checking fluid @ specific fluid temp?
Car should be running and at optimum temperature of 50 C or 122F
Thanks for a great video. I noticed the original gasket was red. There is a Red Permatex Automatic Transmission RTV Sealant, specifically for transmissions. Any tips on what is better Mazda Gray or Permatex? Thanks
Good work. Did the rtv exactly how is supposed to be done
Hi great video quick question have a mazda 3 2016 what is the recommend mileage to change my transmission oil.? Thanks
I have a 2014 with the 2.5l . I drained the factory atf at 110k miles. 4.5 quarts came out when measured . Dropped the pan and that had another .5qt in it. So 5qt total. Not sure if the 2.0l is different in capacity
That hard shift into drive and reverse might have something to do with the transmission control module. My 08 did the same thing. I found a used transmission control module on eBay and it fixed the problem. I bought that control module used because a new one at Mazda's was around 900 dollars, ouch.
Great video! This may seem like a lame question -- but its the second one I've seen where the original fluid come out red -- but the new fluid is blue. What's up with that?
Another GREAT video! Thanks! Let me ask - do the Mazda transmission pans include a magnet? I saw the new pan you had, and didn't see a magnet. I think of this because one of the steps I have done in the past is clean the "fuzz" off the one that I typically saw in there on other car brands. The fuzz is obviously metallic particles....worn from the trans. Just wondering if these have them?
These do have them. you have to reuse the one from the old pan since the new one doesn't come with one. I didn't show it in the video but I did reuse the old one before installing it. Nothing gets past you Stephen. LOL
Nice job 👍 👍👍👍👍👍
Do you have to replace at least the front wheel on the passenger side as well because it is a all wheel drive?
I have tried twice now to respond to you, and both times my response shows up, but then when I refresh the screen - they are gone. So I will try just adding my response as a "new" comment, OK?
So thanks for clearing up the magnet issue. I wasn't 100% sure Mazda used them, but never saw an auto trans pan without one. Thanks for this info.
And also I saw that you used a single edge steel razor to clean the aluminum surface that the pan sits on. People have said using a blade like that is risky, in that it could cause cuts, dings, scratches (which they say will cause leaks). But you did it very carefully and skillfully, and I liked how it worked. So you have "inspired" me to give that method a try! Thanks!
Thanks bro!❤
Hey bro, do you need to replace the pan or can you reuse your old one? Did you only replace your one cause it was damaged?
Thank you so much☺️
How many miles did the car have when you did the transmission oil change?
Great video excellent work! I’m looking to change my transmission fluid but unfortunately none of my local Mazda dealerships want to perform it. If you don’t mind me asking, where in Texas are you located?
What dealership is denying work ? Lol I've been to Greenway mazda and Jeff Hass, no problem there
Same problem. My local stealership won't do mine either. Did it myself but didn't change the filter (or remove the transmission pan).
is it done the same way for a 2014 Mazda 3 2.0L?

Great video! Can you confirm a couple things?? 1. Will this Mazda RTV work for a 2013 3 Skyactiv AT pan? 2. Do you reuse the pan bolts or replace? Thanks!
The Mazda RTV should work just fine. AS for the bolts you are good to reuse them.
@@CARDIAXPLAYS Thanks so much for the reply and the info! Looking forward to using this vid as a guide!
Great video! You check the fluid level cold??
I'm wondering the same thing. Did you ever figure that out?
So when you're sticking that pan back on, and all that silicon gets squeezed into the transmission compartment, will that not negatively effect the transmission performance?
Yes. It's best to clean out the inner silicone.
So maybe a stupid question, but do you check the trans fluid level via the dipstick when the car is off or when it is running? Seems like you are doing it while the car is off but many say to check when it's running?
on the Mazda site it says to turn the engine on and check the fluid when the engine is warm. Its really difficult the check the trans fluid while the engine is running on a skyactive Mazda. Just make sure the engine and trans are at operating temp when you check it. That's what I do and I've never had an issue.
@@CARDIAXPLAYS Appreciate you! I do have an OBD, so I'll use this method. Any advice on what mileage it makes sense to change fluid on the AT? Feel like fresh fluid is never a bad thing, but had someone suggest to me that it was pointless before 100k lol
Hi, can you fill from the top on the manual transmission as well? Assume this one is auto? I have a 2014 skyactive 2.0l 165hp. Thanks
Yes. Is believe the fill port is in the same location.
What is the recommended transmission fluid replacement interval?
On SkyActive engines Mazda really doesn't have any service interval for transmission fluid change. They say it should last the ownership of the vehicle. As a technician its hard for me to agree with that but I have to follow Mazda's rules. Changing the fluid around 60k miles is a good rule of thumb. Its not going to hurt anything. If I had a new Mazda I would replace it around 60k. Even my service manager thinks its crazy that the fluid is considered lifetime.
What is the advantage of using that silicone sealer vs. a gasket? I know it's OEM but that's a whole lot of extra time at 25 hours compared to a gasket.
Do they make a gasket?
@@toddsmith1617 I saw somebody using one in a YT video -- and Amazon sells filter & gasket kits. I don't know if Mazda makes one.
No need of gasket? Just put the rtv? Very nice vedeo btw!
so I got a 2010 Mazda3. When I put it in Drive it produces a hard "Knock." When I put it in Reverse it does the same. So, I removed the pan and replaced it with a new one. Since i was down there, I changed out the filter and the 6 solenoids. Hell, I even changed out the (I only found 2) Sensors: speed sensor and Input sensor (I think that's what they are called.). They are, practically, under the Battery "holder box." Well the problem persists. I replaced the transmission fluid with the same amount that I extracted. But the Dip stick doesn't give me a reading. Had I not put in the transmission fluid any other person would say there is no transmission fluid in the pan, but I know there is.
Anybody got any suggestions? I'd really appreciate all the help. Thanks so much in advance.
2010 huh? I believe those years of mazda 3 had Ford engines in them. On these older Mazdas I personally check to see if the TCM can be updated. sometimes just doing a software update on the TCM (transmission control module) can fix the hard shifting from Drive to park or from Drive to reverse. Im just saying from personal experience.
@@CARDIAXPLAYS ...You know, that's what I feared, but I was trying to ignore the Elephant in the room. I heard that was/is very expensive. thanks so so much though.
@@FunDuudeI’m sure my TCM is toast as well. Apparently they’re known for going bad on these cars due to poor placement. There’s a company called UpFix that rebuilds them.
Did you torque the nuts on the new wheel before you drove on it? Seems like you only used the rattle gun 🤔
I'm not gonna lie to you. I've literally lost sleep once because I couldn't remember if I torqued down a customers lugs. I've made it a religion to always torque the lug nuts every time I remove a wheel or replace a tire. Its just not worth it.
@@CARDIAXPLAYS ah ok so just not shown in video but you still did it. All good.
I had to get the last place that replaced my tyre, to properly torque my wheels after I told them to do it and they said 'all good' without actually doing it. I'm glad I asked them, "what torque did you set it at?" before I left because I only found out they didn't do it when they gave me a blank look. After that I made sure I watched them do it. Not sure if I will go back there because it seems these guys and I'm sure many others don't give a toss if their customer's wheels fall off.
@@alexChook It is a bad habit to not torque your wheels. That's just playing with someone's life.
I didn't see a magnet in the new pan. The magnet from the old pan should be cleaned and put in the new pan.
Please provide advise when should I change transmission oil for my Mazda cx5 being driven 20150 km, I am not satisfied with the service center saying that the oil can be used until the end of the car's life.
Some recommendations are at 50 to 60 thousand miles, I will change at 40 thousand on my cx5
On Skyactive engines Mazda really doesn't have any service interval for transmission fluid change. They say it should last the ownership of the vehicle.

Of course - it’s a she and probably staring at the phone during the on purpose (accident). Luckily no injury.
Outstanding job ,,,,1 question checking the fluid level is engine running or is engine off.
hey did you ever find out the answer for this? Cause some vids have it on and some vids have it off. And if you changed fluid on yours, how did it go?
@@Nexxorcist Car should be running and at optimum temperature of 50 C or 122F
hi i wOnder how much is that filter cost?is it same as 2022 cx5?
