The service manual states that the fluid should be clear with a blue tint. While changing the oil, I decided to check the transmission fluid. I bought a 2015 Mazda3 with 42K miles on it. It always means one of two things: The customer has to buy a new car (hopefully a Mazda from the dealer) or the customer has to pay for a new transmission and a hefty repair bill. Of course Mazda and the dealers don’t want you to change the oil and want the transmissions to eventually fail. You need to change it regularly to prevent sludge from killing your tranny. If you wait until the oil is black and burnt or there is a mechanical failure, it’s too late and your transmission is already dying. The only benefit of changing transmission fluid is preventative. You should change it every 30K-50K miles (and change the transmission filter every other change) as PREVENTATIVE maintenance. However, this does not mean you should change it every 100K miles. This is what car manufactures consider to be the maximum lifetime of a car before someone trades it in. Don’t listen to Mazda nor any other manufacturer about not changing “lifetime” transmission fluid.Įven if they call it “lifetime” it will not last more than 100K miles.
