Hi All,

I have some doubts about Mazda 3 2.0 Hatchback Year 2011 make. I have already clocked 80k KM mileage on my ride. Everytime i asked SC whether i need to change my ATF fluid, they claim ATF fluid and "Strainer" - Gearbox Filter change is only at 100K KM. It is been 4 years and i am getting a little worried. Can someone please shed some info on this matter?

The cost of the strainer, oil seal, ATF gasket, oil - Macron V inclusive labor is about RM900 with Bermaz PJ. Furthermore my car warranty expired.

My question is:

1. What is the actual mileage for a ATF fluid change for M3 2.0?

2. Am i entitled to warranty if i decide to change the ATF fluid together with parts with Bermaz PJ?

3. Is it really necessary to change the strainer, oil seal, gasket?

4. How many litres i needed to change the ATF?

4.1 How many litres of ATF oil without changing the strainer?

4.2 How many litres of ATF oil with changing the strainer?

5. Can i use LIQUI MOLY ATF - TOPTEC 1200 fully synthetic oil for my ATF?

Please help me to understand this better?

Thank you my sifus!
