First, I'm not a Mazda representative.
* Check warranty. Call dealer for service.

*** The following is for information only ***
* you need to access under the vehicle. There are two plugs (site and drain).
* Some differentials may only have the site plug. Draining may require the use of a pump or complete disassembly of back cover.
* Check the used fluid for metal flakes (use a magnet).
* Check the fluid for color and burnt smell.
* Removing back cover may be a preferred method if checking a car/truck for damage.

SOURCE: Where do you fill the transaxle with oil?

Yes, engine oil is fine, and the fill plug should be like the drain plug but higher.

I have mazda 6, and my problem is the P0744 A/T light is always on.

You have done everything but diagnose the problem
& the resulting PO 744 OBD Code

You have internal transaxle issues pertaining to the Torque
Converter Clutch Circuit

A trans shop or dealer would be the place to get a start on

1996 Honda Accord EX Manual trans. Where is oil level plug. what kind of oil?

Hi there,

All Honda manual transaxles use the Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) as the original factory fill. This oil is similar to a 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity engine oil, and this oil can be substituted temporarily. However, the manufacturer recommends the use of their MTF when changing the fluid.

Level Check

The transaxle fluid should be changed every 90,000 miles (144,000 km) or 6 years under normal driving conditions. In severe driving conditions the fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or every 2 years, whichever occurs first.
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface. If the vehicle is raised, make sure the vehicle is safely supported and level

NOTE: Do not confuse the drain plug with the fill plug.
The fill plug is in the mid section of the transaxle. The drain plug is near the bottom of the transaxle.
  1. The oil level is checked by removing the oil fill plug on the side of the transaxle. The transaxle fluid should just meet the lower threads of the transaxle fill hole.
  2. Remove the oil level check bolt from the side of the transaxle. If oil runs out, or if oil can be felt near the threaded fill hole opening, reinstall and retighten the bolt to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
  3. If the level needs to be topped off, pour oil in slowly until it begins to run out then, install and tighten the filler bolt to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
