★ Top Answer
In your 2010 Mazda3, it's recommended to use a full synthetic Mercon ATF fluid like Valvoline MaxLife, priced at $30 at O'Reilly's. This fluid works well for both topping up low transmission fluid levels and doing a complete flush. For your regular engine oil, go for a synthetic SAE 5W-20 motor oil to fill the 5.3 quart reservoir. Unlike the ATF fluid, you can adjust the engine oil viscosity to suit your location; opting for a thinner oil can improve engine performance.
