Change the transmission fluid?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Congrats on making it to 130K! I bet you have 130 more! Keeping up with maintenance is super important and good for you to be on top of it! Given the mileage of your Mazda 5 and the importance of transmission fluid maintenance, it's generally recommended to have the transmission fluid changed although it's not explicitly mentioned in the manual, it does say to check the level twice a year. When you or a tech checks the level, the condition of the fluid can be determined. It should be clear and not dark. It's also should not smell burnt. If you have any other questions feel free to call us at 877-913-1554! We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area!
