The Axela requires 5L of transmission fluid. If a circulating replacement of the transmission fluid is performed, approximately 10L is needed. The replacement interval for transmission fluid is every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid refers to the lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, protecting the transmission and extending the service life of the transmission components. The Axela refers to the Mazda 3 Axela, a vehicle produced by Changan Mazda, with dimensions of 4582mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1458mm in height. The car features the MZD Connect Mazda infotainment system for the first time, built on an advanced human-machine interface that prioritizes driving safety, offering a technologically advanced and user-friendly driving experience.

I've owned several Mazda Axela cars, and the transmission fluid capacity varies by model. Generally, after draining an automatic transmission, you'll need about 6-7 liters of new fluid, but this depends on the specific year and engine - slight differences exist between 1.5L and 2.0L versions. When doing the replacement yourself, always consult the owner's manual or have a repair shop measure with professional tools. Don't rush to fill it completely - proceed step by step. The dipstick has cold/hot markers, stop filling when reaching the midpoint. Overfilling causes leaks while insufficient fluid leads to component wear. After my DIY change, I noticed smoother gear shifts. Remember to use manufacturer-recommended ATF fluid types and inspect every 60,000 km to avoid costly transmission issues down the road.

As a car enthusiast who loves tinkering, I once helped a buddy change the transmission fluid for his Mazda3 Axela. The typical refill volume ranges between 5-8 liters, but you should always check the manual since specifications vary greatly across different configurations. Drain all the old fluid, clean thoroughly, then refill with new fluid—pour slowly and steadily. Using an oil pump makes the job much easier. When purchasing transmission fluid, ensure it matches the required specification (e.g., JWS3309) to avoid compatibility issues. DIY saves money, but prioritize safety—wear gloves and goggles, and avoid environmental contamination. My experience suggests test-driving for a few rounds post-refill to confirm normal operation. Regular maintenance extends lifespan and improves driving feel.

Having driven for over a decade, safety awareness is crucial. When adding transmission fluid to the Mazda3 Axela, precision is essential—refer to the manual for a typical drain-and-fill quantity of 4-7 liters. Avoid overfilling or underfilling during operation to prevent lubrication failure and component damage. The safest approach is to visit a 4S shop or professional service center, where they have precise measuring tools and standardized procedures. If DIY-ing, warm up the vehicle to check fluid temperature for accuracy, and change the fluid every two years for added security. Neglecting this may lead to sudden malfunctions, compromising driving safety—don’t risk major hazards to save small costs. The manual’s detailed instructions are the most reliable reference.
