Hi, My 2010 Mazda 3 2.5 S needs to have the transmission fluid change (50k). I understand that the transmission needs a ATF M-V type fluid? The OEM fluid from the dealer would cost $14 a quart. What do you folks use aside from the Mazda ATF? I want to use synthetic fluid for the...

My 2009 Mazda 3s is coming up on 30k miles and I was just wondering what would be the best option for replacing the auto transmission fluid? Being that I drive in manual mode 99.5% of the time and the liquid that I've been testing from the dipstick is light/moderate brown, should I just drain...
