Correct OEM Mazda ATF for 2002 Protege 5?

[97tbird]

Not for me, but a friend owns one and thinks the trans is slipping, and needs an ATF change. It's a sport shift auto (where it has the manual shiftability). He wants to take OEM Mazda ATF to the local mechanic. I find conflicting info on the web on which is the correct ATF. Some sites state Mazda M5 ATF, and some state Mazda M3 ATF. Anyone knows which is the correct one? Thanks.

According to the handy dandy application chart they give us at work, Type M5 0000-77-112E-01 is the correct fluid for your application

Ah! Thanks much, bdc! Will pass it onto friend... (also just found an online ownner's manual which confirms M5 (or M-v)

Ya Mazda makes this chart that basically looks like what you would use for a kid's placemat with all the fluid apps on it.

Cool - does it apply to newer Mazdas after the divorce, too?

As does Ford https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/main/quickref.asp But you already knew that....

You can tell it has been used a wee little bit.
