This is my Transmission Oil Colour
6, 2.3L petrol Sport
It's a little pink, but mainly brown. What do people do? Get a mchanic to replace all of the gear oil (flush), or just drain what comes out - not all will come out - and replace (change)?

HI. Dipstick is black metal unfortunately. Here it is on paper too. Doesn't smel burned to me. Bought this car at 125,000km, don[t know if ATF oil has been changed. Probably not.[img]https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mazdaforum.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-20180625_211417_007570ba799b93b81e73c34bb27521b740 ac5469.jpg

p.s. I need to change RHS CV joint and probably a rear hub/bearing. Seems quite soon at 125kkm.

CV joints are very uncommon, even the rubber boot lasts a long time.
Rear bearing is bad luck, altho someone may of hit too many curbs &/or pot holes.
I used to work for Mazda in NZ & now work for Mazda in Queensland.
Mazda Australia has stopped supplying genuine Mazda ATF to suit you vehicle, & instead recommends using Castrol Transmax Multivehicle.

Rubber is absolutely perfect. CV is not .
I wonder whether the Sport suspension takes its toll on CVs and particularly bearings. Tried to re-lube inner and then outer CV when I started to hear noises - grease was disturbingly liquid - (it started clicking only when engine cold to begin with (could warm vehicle without movement and it would solve clicking) - but now have clicking while turning sharply so I think deifinitely outer CV). My 95 corolla has done 340km and still has original CV's
Thanks for tip, will look for Castrol Transmax Multivehicle.
