Mazda B4000 Truck (2007 year). Instruction - part 17

CLUTCH FLUID (IF EQUIPPED)

Check the fluid level. Refer to scheduled maintenance for the service
interval schedules.

During normal operation, the fluid level in the clutch reservoir should
remain constant. If the fluid level drops, refill the fluid level to the step
in the reservoir.

Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid designed to meet Mazda specification.
Refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this
chapter.

WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product
label. For MEDICAL EMERGENCY INFORMATION contact a
physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

1. Clean the reservoir cap before

removal to prevent dirt and
water from entering the
reservoir.

2. Remove cap and rubber

diaphragm from reservoir.

3. Add fluid until the level reaches

the step in the reservoir.

4. Reinstall rubber diaphragm and

cap onto reservoir.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

• Refer to scheduled maintenance information for scheduled check

and change intervals.

• Transmission does not consume fluid.
• Check fluid when transmission is not operating properly or if you see

a leak.

• Fluid level must be checked at normal operating temperature, 20 miles

(30 km) of driving.

To check and add fluid:

1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) to reach normal operating

temperatures.

2. If driven in hot weather, city traffic, pulling a trailer, allow

transmission to cool for 30 minutes before checking.

3. Engage parking brake, start engine.

4. Put your foot on the brake pedal and move the gearshift lever slowly

through all of the gear ranges.

5. Shift to P (Park) and leave the engine running.

6. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean with a dry lint free rag.

7. Install and fully seat the dipstick into the filler tube.

8. Remove the dipstick and inspect

the fluid level. Level should be
in the cross-hatched area.

9. If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250ml) increments through the

filler tube until the level is correct at normal operating temperatures.
Refer to the Maintenance product specifications and capacities
section in this chapter for the correct fluid type. The use of any
other non-approved fluid may cause internal transmission damage.

10. Fluid can be checked at ambient

temperatures between 50–95°F
(10–30°C). DO NOT ADD fluid
until the transmission is at
normal operating temperatures or the transmission will be overfilled.

Low fluid level

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid
level is at or below the bottom of
the dipstick.

High fluid level

Fluid levels above the safe range
may cause overheating, shift and/or
engagement concerns and internal
transmission damage. If an overfill
condition occurs, excess fluid should
be removed by an authorized dealer.

Brake fluid will drop slowly as the brakes wear and will rise when brake components are replaced.

Fluid levels below the MAX line that do not trigger the brake warning light are within the normal
operating range, there is no need to add fluid. If the levels are outside the normal operating range,
the performance of your brake system could be compromised, seek service from your authorized
dealer immediately.

Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle. Do not mix different colors or types of

coolant. Do not use Mazda Extended Life Engine Coolant (orange in color). Refer to Adding
engine coolant, in this chapter.

Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with

the vehicle on a level surface.

Automatic transmissions that require MERCON

t V should only use MERCONt V fluid or fluid that

is specified dual usage MERCON

t/ MERCONt V. Refer to scheduled maintenance to determine

the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause
transmission damage.

Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size and

if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set
by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.

Traction-Lok axles use 4.75–5.0 pints (2.2–2.4L) of rear axle lubricant. Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of

Additive Friction Modifier meeting Mazda specifications for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14
mm) below the bottom of the filler hole.

If submerged in water, the rear axle lubricant should be changed.
