Tomorrow I am taking our 2011 CX9 AWD in for a drain and fill of the transmission. I was going to do this at home via the 3 qts at time routine, but without a transmission dip stick, I don't have an easy way to put fluid back into the transmission. So, I am just going to pay the transmission shop to do it. I am providing the fluid. I am not doing a flush, just drain and fill.
Now First off, reading our manual (which doesn't give a change interval for Transmission or Front Differential), the Transmission takes 7qts of JWS3309. If I am correct, the Transmission and Front Differential share the same fluid and that 7 qts will cover all of that? I bought a case of the Mobil ATF 3309 fluid, but just wanted to see if I am correct in understanding that.
Secondly, again reading the manual (which again doesn't give a change interval for Transfer Case), the Transfer Case takes .562qts of SAE 75W-140. I am going to have them inspect this fluid, and I suspect that since we're at 60,000 miles, this will need to be replaced as well. From what I have read in previous threads, this fluid gets pretty trashed from the heat and could be nasty. I plan to run to the store here shortly and pick up 1qt of Syntheic fluid. Probably Castrol if they have it.
Thirdly and Lastly, again reading the manual (which actually does state a change interval for the Rear Differential if you Tow, Drive in Dust, Sandy, Wet Conditions, Low Speeds, Short Drives - Winter I consider Wet Conditions), the Rear Differential takes 1.1qts of SAE 80W-90. I changed this fluid at 50,000 miles and posted this thread with the odd fluid color that drained out (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/show...ok-at-the-facroty-Diff-Fluid-50-000&highlight=). The manual says to change this fluid every 28,100 miles (odd number) if you meet those conditions. If you don't, then I guess it's like the other driveline fluids listed above and you're on your own. I don't plan to change this fluid this visit, but just wanted to see if you all are actually changing the Rear Differential Fluid every 30,000 miles or so.
Thanks,
Ryan
