2012 Mazda 3 Fluids

Formulated to meet the specific requirements of Mazda vehicles equipped with conventional (non-CVT) transmissions that require the use of Mazda Type M3 and M5 ATF. Recommended for service-fill in all Mazda automatic transmissions where M5 or M3 ATF is specified. This fluid is also recommended for certain Ford vehicles where M5 ATF is specified. Fuel economy demands and more sophisticated electronic controls have made automatic transmissions not only more complex, but also unique to each vehicle manufacturer. Long gone are the days of having just a couple choices of automatic transmission fluid type. IDEMITSU is the factory fill Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) supplier to most Asian imports. IDEMITSU application-specific ATF products match the exact friction materials and performance requirements of each different vehicle model for which they are made.
