Where is the transmission fluid dipstick located on 1999 BMW 323 auto
A 1988 Mazda 323 typically requires about 6.5 quarts of automatic transmission fluid when performing a complete fluid change, including the torque converter. It's always advisable to check the owner's manual for any specific requirements or recommendations related to your particular vehicle.
To change the gear oil in a 1989 Mazda 323 with an automatic transmission, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, remove it, and check the fluid level. Then, drain the old fluid by removing the drain plug, if applicable, and replace it with new fluid through the dipstick tube, using the manufacturer-recommended type. Finally, check the fluid level again, ensuring it's within the recommended range, and replace the dipstick securely.
