Very interesting video from Japan, and this guy had put 5 strong round magnets underneath the pan to attract more metal sludge/shavings. I was surprised to see there were that much in there after only 13,121 km (8,153 miles). It says these magnets had been put on for 10,000 km. He took out 4.2 liters (4.44 US quarts) used ATF with pan removed and the fluid looked discolored and thinner compared to fresh fluid. The guy did the second ATF drain and fill which collected another mixed 3.57 liters (3.77 quarts) ATF. Approximately he changed 50% of ATF at first change, and another 50% for second change. So effectively he had changed 75% of the ATF.
From spec sheet there are two versions of SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission. FW6A-EL、FW6AX-EL has a total ATF capacity of 7.8 liters (8.24 US quarts) and GW6A-EL、GW6AX-EL has a total ATF capacity of 8.0 liters (8.45 US quarts). 3.5 - 4.9 liters (3.70 - 5.18 US quarts) are the estimated fresh ATF needed for drain and fill. Of course it says Mazda genuine ATF FZ is required for fluid change.
The video says the Mazda FZ01.21.500 filter is screen type so the guy just washed it clean and re-used it. I remember the window sticker says the automatic transmission is 100% made in Japan. I was wondering why this filter is made in USA?
