How Many Liters of Oil Should Be Added to the Atenza Transmission?
2 Answers
Atenza transmission uses gravity manual oil filling, requiring approximately 8L to 9L of transmission oil, while using a cycling machine requires about 12L. Introduction to the Atenza: 1. Safety Features: The new Atenza model comes with safety features including: driver/passenger airbags, front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, seatbelt reminder, rear child seat interface, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, lane merge assist, lane departure warning system, and active braking. 2. Fuel Consumption: The new Atenza is equipped with smart idle stop system and brake energy recovery system as standard across all models. The 2.5L Atenza model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.3 seconds, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 6.9 liters per 100 km, while the 2.0L model achieves an even lower combined fuel consumption of only 6.3 liters per 100 km.
Over the years of running my auto repair shop, I've dealt with many transmission issues on the Mazda Atenza (Mazda6). Typically, the automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges between 4.8 to 5.2 liters, depending on the model - for instance, older 4AT models may require slightly less, while newer 6AT versions need more. When I change the fluid, I always completely drain the old fluid first, then slowly pour in new fluid using the gravity method, checking the dipstick after each liter to ensure the level stays between the minimum and maximum marks. Too little fluid can cause overheating and component damage, while overfilling may lead to leaks. I recommend changing it every 60,000 kilometers - never compromise by buying inferior fluid; always use the manufacturer-specified product to extend service life. During routine maintenance, always check for seal aging to avoid costly major repairs later.
