In 2013, the Mazda5 requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 8.5 quarts. This fluid acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission components from heat damage, similar to how oil functions. The cost for changing the transmission fluid in your Mazda falls between $130 and $160 for labor, while parts are priced at $60. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles. Signs indicating the need for a fluid change include a grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and delayed movement after putting the vehicle in gear.
