Transmission Fluid Exchange Service

Reasons Your Transmission Fluid Needs Service

Your Mazda's transmission fluid maintenance schedule is outlined in the Maintenance and Care section of the owner's manual. It is important to know that Mazdas equipped with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY have lifetime transmission fluid that only requires an exchange alongside a transmission part repair or replacement. However, if you begin to experience any of the warning signs of defective transmission fluid, it is an excellent decision to get an inspection and maintenance service as needed to restore reliable performance.

The Mazda Transmission System and Fluid Exchange Maintenance 101

The transmission system distributes engine power into drive wheels through a complex arrangement of gears, pinions, computer controls, and sensors. Transmission fluid serves the transmission system as oil that keeps the moving parts lubricated and as an energy-transferring hydraulic fluid that transfers engine power into the drive wheels. Given the transmission's value to a vehicle's reliable performance, it is an excellent decision to ensure the transmission fluid is in good condition supporting the transmission's operation.

Warning Signs of Defective Transmission Fluid

With transmission fluid serving in a dual role as lubricating oil and hydraulic fluid, you'll never want to risk driving with a transmission showing signs of a malfunction. If you begin to notice any of the following warning signs of defective transmission fluid, we invite you to Seacoast Mazda for a transmission inspection and fluid exchange service:

• Gears slip
