Official summary
Always be sure to use the correct automatic transmission fluid when replacing atf. Using the wrong atf may cause shift quality complaints or may even damage the transmission. Note: atf m-v (type m5) is not the same fluid as mercon®v or mercon®lv atf. Atf m-v (type m5) has a greater viscosity than mercon®v and mercon®lv atf in low temperatures. Atf m-v (type m5) has a greater anti-judder specification than mercon®v and mercon®lv atf. Transmission fluid flushing should only be performed when instructed by the workshop manual or any other mazda publication.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
