You take Mazda's word, i'll take the rest of the world especially when my tranny blew @ 22,000 km. I'm not the only one with tranny issues. as the link said "Flush it often and keep it clean". there are other things that Mazda doesn't do for maintenance that you also need to do, but I would be wasting my breath talking to you anymore.
Actually, why don't you tell me when Mazda recommends changing the power steering fluid or the brake fluid. On my sheet it also says the brake fluid never needs replacing. It also does say "Inspect" steering operation and linkage.
Show me proof on this one.

Long story short, all of the factoids you've written in your relatively short tenure here have done nothing to establish you as a credible source of information; quite to the contrary actually.

FAIL! You avoided the question on fluids completely. So i guess we never have to change those fluids either! FAIL AGAIN.
I don't invent factoids, did you read the links? At least I can find support, as opposed to your "word"? I'll take my support over your "word" every day.
There is always a self proclaimed know it all on every forum, and your the worst. If cars were so perfect the service shops around the world would be in dire straits.

If you two can't play nice I'm gonna hafta' put you in separate rooms.
What I do know about modern ATF's is that they are very specific and modern automatic require specific types of ATF's in order to operate and continue to operate trouble free. In the old days you had Type A for most and Type F mainly for Ford vehicles (and early BMW's which should never have come w/an auto in the first place, IMHO.) That's not the case any longer.
But let's face it guys, it has not even been determined that that's the OP's problem yet. Right?
In fact I'm not sure what to suggest to this OP. Are either of you really that sure of your facts??

I'm 100% certain Mazda doesn't recommend servicing automatic transmissions, and while I don't remember seeing language from Mazda cautioning against transmission flushes, a great number of the manufacturers out there do in that they recommend against such service.

You have taken that quote out of context.
We don't even know if its the trans that's causing the OP's problem. In fact when I began to read about it, I thought it might have been one or two issues that I've had with my car back about 4 yrs ago. .. MAF or Purge valve. Have either of you considered that it could even be a clogged EGR valve?
A CEL code would help this diagnoses, but we don't know from the description if the trans is even involved, yet you two are going at it tooth and nail.
All this bickering has probably scared the OP off, or at least put him off entirely.
Enough with the Flame Wars already.
