Changing Transmission Filter Mazda 626 Sign In

2001 Mazda 626
V6, 2.5l
Automatic Transmission- GF4ael
67,000 miles

Hi - getting ready to replace transmission filter on my 01 v6 auto. I picked up a filter from Advance Auto, the Brand is Pro-King. Wanted to get some opinions as to the quality of this brand, or is their a brand of filter that is better for this trans. Or should I get it from Mazda? Thanks

Filters are usually an aftermarket product. What you may want to do though, double check with the dealer on what kind of trans. fluid your vehicle uses. If it is a synthetic, you can't just throw Dexron in it or the trans. will fail.

Thanks for the reply and will call the dealer. One last question. I have been told that the trans filter in there now is a wire screen, but the aftermarkets are more of a filament (cloth?). Should I be concerned? Can a tranny flush still be performed with the new aftermarket filter?

If the manufacturer calls for just a screen, you can just do the flush. Your best bet is to see what the manufacturer recommends.
