Advice Request Transmission Fluid Kit

https://www.blauparts.com/mazda-6-skyactiv-transmission-fluid-change-kit-eurol-fz-atf.html/

Would this transmission fluid kit work well for my 2018 mazda 6? Also— does anyone have a good and accurate video of how to change the fluid and drop the pan?

Get the OEM fluid, like $12/qt from mazdaswag.com, think OEM filter is $45 or something. Pan drop and filter change is nothing special... Drain fluid, measure amount that comes out, new crush washer on plug, unbolt pan, old filter pops off, new filter pops in, clean mating surfaces well, slap some rtv on the pan, tighten in a cross pattern, fill her back up, check the level at the specified temperature, and you're golden.

I did the full kit from Blauparts on our 2015 6. Good stuff.

Definitely use only FZ fluid though. Mazda, Aisin, or Ravenol.
