Thank you for that. I had similar thoughts but now I know. I will take your advice.
Wow, I remember that old post. That was some time ago. I currently have 129,000 miles on the car and I have not touched the transmission again.I plan on using Aisin's version of Mazda FZ ATF when I change the FF in my daughters CX-30.
After reading an older post by DBMaster where he said his Mazda's FF fluid still looked good when he changed it at 60K (IIRC) I plan to wait until 50K. My only real decision is whether I will still add a bottle of LG Red as I've done on every A/T I've ever owned/serviced. Thoughts?
PS: Even though I've used Valvoline Maxlife and Castrol IMV in my Toyota's and Hyundai's without issues I'll stick with one of the blue Mazda FZ type A/Ts on the Mazda (Aisin and Ravenol make them)...I don't want to take a chance on it causing issues.
If the shop told you that, then they aren't qualified to work on Mazdas, since there is no published spec for FZ, and knowledgeable people have said there is no alternative. I would be hesitant to use that shop again.(I verified the shop used MV fluid, which supposedly meets FZ spec
