Automatic Gearbox Oil Replacement

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

Replacing the oil in the gearbox is a maintenance task that is often overlooked, and indeed many car manufacturers do not specify any maintenance; however, it is absolutely essential for the gears to operate in oil that meets its lubricating specifications. Locate the drain plug on the gearbox and drain the oil, clean the plug of any metallic residues (also check for these in the drained oil) and refit it with a new washer. Access the engine bay, remove the oil level dipstick from the gearbox and fill it with the specific oil.
