Additional Notes

  • The Mazda MPV, LW (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover transaxle-type units across all four configurations listed for the 1999-2005 generation, meaning the gearbox and differential share a single fluid housing rather than operating as separate components.
  • The 2.0 16V (1999-2002) and 2.5 V6-24V (1999-2002) transaxles both carry a fluid capacity of 2.7 liters, paired with a change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.3 16V (2003-2005) transaxle also holds 2.7 liters, which aligns with the earlier petrol engine figures, though the change interval shifts to 100,000 km or 60 months under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.0 CiTD (2003-2005) diesel variant carries a notably lower transaxle capacity of 2.3 liters compared to the 2.7-liter figure seen in the petrol configurations, suggesting a physically different gearbox unit is fitted to the diesel model.
  • All four configurations specify normal use conditions, meaning the stated intervals are not applicable to severe-duty operating environments such as frequent towing, extreme temperatures, or predominantly short-trip driving.
  • The 2003-2005 petrol and diesel variants share the same 100,000 km distance interval, yet the time-based limit differs in practical terms from the earlier 1999-2002 models, which used a 72-month ceiling against the later 60-month ceiling despite a shorter distance threshold of 90,000 km.
  • A 2.7-liter transaxle fill is a moderately sized capacity for a front-wheel-drive minivan unit, consistent with combined gear and differential lubrication requirements in a single integrated housing.
