★ Top Answer
The recommended transmission fluid for the 2012 Mazda3 is either Mazda FZ-ATF or DEXRON VI. The manual transmission requires 6.1 pints, while the automatic transmission initial fill is 3.7 quarts and total fill is 8.2 quarts. This fluid is a hydraulic type that assists with gear shifts, transmission cooling, and lubrication of moving components. It is advised to replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Signs of low or deteriorating fluid include unusual transmission noises, a burning odor, or visible leaks from the vehicle. The cost for a fluid change typically ranges from $110 to $140 for labor, plus additional expenses for parts.
