How Many Liters of Transmission Fluid Are Needed for an Axela Transmission Fluid Change?
2 Answers
An Axela requires 5 liters of transmission fluid for a one-time replacement. If opting for a circulation replacement method, approximately 10 liters of transmission fluid are needed. The recommended replacement interval for transmission fluid is every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid serves as a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, protects the transmission, and extends the service life of the transmission components. It is crucial to replace the transmission fluid promptly once it reaches its service limit, as deteriorated fluid can accelerate wear on the internal gears of the transmission. The Axela is a compact car produced by Changan Mazda, with dimensions of 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, and 1445mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2726mm. It is equipped with two naturally aspirated engine options: a 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter engine.
I've been driving the Mazda3 for several years. Last time when I changed the transmission fluid myself, I prepared 5 liters but only used about 4.5 liters for the automatic transmission model. For manual transmission models, it requires even less, usually just 2.5 to 3 liters is sufficient. I remember the owner's manual recommends changing it every 80,000 kilometers for optimal safety, which helps maintain smooth transmission operation and prevents sudden jerking issues. If the fluid change interval is too long, the degraded fluid can accumulate sludge and affect driving performance. I find synthetic oil works better - though more expensive, it lasts longer. DIY fluid changes are simple and cost-effective, but make sure you have all the proper tools like a funnel to prevent spills, and always check the dipstick to avoid overfilling or underfilling. In summary, always consult your owner's manual to confirm the exact specifications for your model rather than blindly following online advice.
