2020 Mazda CX-5 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Mazda's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mazda CX-5? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your CX-5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my CX-5's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Mazda CX-5 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Mazda's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Mazda CX-5? Yes, your Mazda CX-5 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your CX-5 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
