Sorry to bring back this thread but I have same noise. I asked the dealer and he had his tech check it out and mentioned that it's normal. So for all of you who owns 2010 CX-9 AWD, have you noticed that 1st gear whine exactly as described by the OP. Goes away immediately after it shifts to 2nd.

umn... been searching and I'm beginning to believe that the Mazda M6 mentioned by the Mazda service advisor maybe Mazdas equivalent to Dexron VI. I now recall him also saying that this is a good fluid for the CX-9. I found this pdf file for Dexron VI...

Well.... blood moon last night, fourth appearance in the last 2 years from what I read. We watched it last night and my brother keeps saying it's supposed to signal bad things to happen. So dealer parts guy was supposed to call me back due to my concern that the wrong fluid was put in. I...

yeah I saw that it was Jw-3309 but when I went to the mazda dealer I mentioned twice and even after I received the product, I mentioned it again. I thought M5 was Mazda's part # or name for JW 3309. So now I called them and spoke to another person and voila... he says that it's not the right...

Umm... I will check with the dealer but further research shows that it shows it to be. Looked at carid.com http://www.carid.com/2010-mazda-cx-9-oils-fluids-lubricants/item-44705623.html Am I missing something?

My CX-9 has ~100K miles. I went to dealer and asked for ATF on 2010 CX-9 GS AWD. He gives me Mazda genuine ATF M5. What's the difference between this and what is stated on the user manual which is mazda jw3309? I'm doing a drain and fill, so I just want to make sure I'm not mixing...

Thanks Avidien. Ahh... I remember this now DIY post but didn't recall that it had pics of the location. Will check it out tomorrow. Thanks much.

oh... on the 1st gear whine, one test I did is put it on manual shift. From stop, I accelerate and I hear a whine which gets louder as the speed increases. then I shift to 2nd, whine goes away. I then let off the gas until it slows down a bit to a slow crawl and while still on 2nd, I press...

astriuminc, yeah I noticed that too. Bought the mustang GT 2012 three years ago, Kia Rondo last year (replaced by CX-9 acquired two days ago), Honda Accord 2008 in 2008. We obviously begin to immediately notice others who has it as well. So far, I haven't seen any on the road for months...

Thanks Avidien. I will check the transfer case. I ordered the Diesel Extractor Scavenge Suction Transfer Pump w/ Hose online as I was planning to change the transfer case oil but that won't come for another week or so. I had thought of this but felt that that couldn't be it since I am only...

umnn... noticed 1st gear whine. all good once it's on 2nd and up. normal???? Checked ATF and level is good but it is time to change it.

Well, I finally picked her up last night and what can I say, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. This is my first mazda and my first SUV. Wife is also pretty excited about it. She drives a 2008 honda accord EXL V6, bought new in 2008 and still only have 40K miles. At any rate, she grabs...

Here's some pics.
