How much transmission oil does the Axela use?
2 Answers
The Axela uses 5 liters of transmission oil. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, and its functions are to ensure the normal operation of the transmission and extend the service life of the transmission components. Taking the 2020 Axela as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4662mm, width 1797mm, height 1445mm, with a wheelbase of 2726mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2020 Axela is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 86kW and a maximum torque of 148Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. It uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
I'm an enthusiastic car owner who often helps friends with vehicle maintenance and have personally tackled the transmission fluid change for my Mazda3. For a manual transmission, around 2 liters of fluid should suffice, while automatic transmissions typically require more, generally between 3.5 to 5 liters depending on your car's specific model year and configuration. My advice is to always consult the owner's manual—it provides the standard reference. Never skip this step, as insufficient fluid can lead to inadequate lubrication in the transmission, accelerating internal wear and causing gear shifts to feel rough. Regular replacement is crucial; aim to inspect it every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, and always use the correct fluid type, such as Mazda-recommended ATF for reliability. DIY changes might save some money, but it's easy to overfill or underfill—best to leave it to professional technicians to avoid issues like leaks or increased fuel consumption.
