What does Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) do?
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) provides the lubrication to the moving parts, wear and corrosion protection and is there to transfer the mechanical power of the automatic transmission. This is why regular servicing of an automatic transmission is vital to change this fluid (and its filter where fitted) in line with manufacturers recommendation. Failure to do this can result in many issues, such as transmission overheat, solenoid failure, jerky gear changes and even total gearbox failure.
What is an Automatic Transmission Fluid Flush?
A transmission fluid flush is a process in which the fluid in an automatic transmission is flushed out of the transmission (gearbox) and replaced with new Automatic Transmission Fluid (AFT). The flushing process, when done correctly, replaces nearly 100% of the old fluid with new fluid, including fluid in the torque converter and oil cooler lines.
Mazda
The Mazda Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer, initially established in 1920 as a toolmaker but went on to start building cars in the 1930s.
How popular is Mazda in the United Kingdom?
An innovative engineering based company, Mazda has over half a million vehicles on the roads in the UK. Their popularity has made a steady climb over the past 10 years; it’s no real surprise with their provision of smartly designed vehicles and unique philosophy.
Luxurious yet affordable motoring
Mazda philosophy: Jinba Ittai—drive together
Mazda professes to create each car around its driver—engineering them to move their drivers both literally and emotionally. They call this ‘Jinba Ittai’, and this inspiration comes from Japanese tradition, a natural connection like that between a horse and rider symbolising a ‘oneness’, where the car is merely an extension of the driver.
Zoom-Zoom
Possibly Mazda’s most popular marketing slogan, established in 2000 and trickle fed through many further campaigns to help them become the well-recognised household brand they are today.
It’s fair to say that Mazda likes to do things a little differently. They make strong, bold choices, and aren’t afraid to put their efficient larger engines in their cars where other marques are working on smaller, on-trend turbocharged options.
Mazda: easy on your pocket—fun on the roads
The current UK range includes models to include tourers, SUVs and the ever-popular MX-5 convertible. Despite often seemingly going against the grain of motoring trends, Mazda makes cars that are affordable to buy, economical to run and great fun to drive.
How often should I have my automatic transmission fluid flushed?
Most manufacturers recommend replacing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you tow anything, or do mostly city driving with more frequent changes of gears, it may be wise to change your ATF even more often.
What happens during an automatic transmission service?
There are many different processes required depending on the manufacturer, some of which may include all the following or just some:
Mechanics will raise the vehicle and increase the gearbox temperature if required by the procedures.
The gearbox drain plug will be removed, or a syphon pump inserted down the filler tube.
If the vehicle has a filter, the sump is likely to be removed so the filter can be accessed.
The parts will then be cleaned before a new filter is installed and the sump refitted with a new gasket or sealing compound.
The gearbox will then be refilled with the correct ATF for the gearbox and application in accordance with the manufacturer's procedure.
In some cases the refilling operation requires diagnostic input as well as manual.
Once refilled to the correct level and run through its selection routine, the vehicle will be test driven before returning it to the owner.
