Question:
What are Mazda's service recommendations for automatic transmissions?
Mostly nonexistent. The manual is silent on the question of when to change the fluid. And what's more, the old drop-the-pan method won't work at all on the CD4E, since it has no bottom pan to drop. There's a side cover over the valve bodies, but that's it. Still, either transmission can be serviced using the new fluid-replacement systems, and most of the Mazda techs I've talked to in recent years believe that the old two-year/30,000-mile interval that used to be considered the norm for transmission service is good for the 626.
