Mazda CX-5 FAQ

Common Mazda CX-5 Transmission Questions

Skyactiv-Drive pressure control solenoid wear — very common on CX-5 at 80k+ miles. P0961/P0962 confirm it. $400–650 repair.

Yes — Mazda ATF-M5 only. Do not use Dexron or generic ATF in the Skyactiv-Drive.

PCS solenoid: 1 day. Full rebuild: 2–3 days.
