The Mazda R2 overdrive transmission requires Automatic Transmission Fluid MERCON capacity 3.8 quarts.

The other manual transmission CD T18 takes the same fluid except only 3.5 Quarts.

You can get a cheap pump at the auto parts store for about $5.00 to make this easy. I use it on my Jeeps. Pictures below.

I hope this helps!
