Traction-Lok axles use 4.75–5.0 pints (2.2–2.4L) of rear axle lubricant.

Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier meeting Mazda
specifications for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles. Service refill
capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6
mm to 14 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole.

Brake fluid will drop slowly as the brakes wear and will rise when brake

components are replaced. Fluid levels below the MAX line that do not
trigger the brake warning light are within the normal operating range,
there is no need to add fluid. If the levels are outside the normal
operating range, the performance of your brake system could be
compromised, seek service from your local Mazda dealer immediately.
