MPS6 Fluids
Found on MS6 Fluid Notes & DIY Pictures and figured it'd be worthwhile here too
based on US dollars, quarts or gallons
=============================================
> Fuel Tank
'06 MS6 Manual - 15.9 us gal
> Power steering fluid
'06 MS6 Manual - ATF M-III, M-V, or equivalent (e.g. Dexron® II)
dry fill- 1 quart
> Brake/Clutch fluid
'06 MS6 Manual - SAE J1703, or FMVSS116 DOT-3
system flush- 1 liter
> Coolant
'06 MS6 Manual - 8.5 us qts (2.25 us gallons)
Type- Mazda FL22
Mazda OEM - part# 0000-77-508E-20
It seems that only mazda has coolant called "FL22"
Whatever, per their own service bulletin-
"FL22 coolant is compatible with current (Green) ethylene glycol coolant."
Bulletin No: 01-033/07

> Engine:
5.5 - 6 qts
7 quarts with Balance Shaft removed
'06 MS6 Manual - 5W-30
There's a strong argument being made that 5W-40 or even 10W-40
is better as the slightly thicker viscosity will not seep past the seals
in the turbo and may help prevent the smoking turbo syndrome.

**NOTE: My amsoil rep no longer stocks Synthetic Gear Lube SAE 80W-90 (AGL), and states the SVG is substantially better. I have heard from a few folks happily running the SVG in the MS6 rear dif without adding the SlipLock additive, seems it's not needed for the MS6. I removed the AGL from this list, but if you find it locally it will be fine to use.**
-RedLine

$10.95/qt retail
**NOTE: Not recommended to run RedLine 75W-90NS - doesn't contain the friction modifiers for limited-slip rear diff**
(retail pricing from maufacturer websites september 2008)
DIY Pictures:
Trans:
both plugs 24mm (note: you will need a box wrench or similar to get at the fill plug)
Transfer Case/PTO:
drain plug is 24mm and refill plug is 23mm
Rear Differential:
drain plug is indeed 24 mm. and the refill plug is indeed 23 mm.
helpful hints:
the plugs are all either 23 or 24mm (see above for specifics)
the crush washers (if you are replacing) are part numbers:
Trans oil plug washer - A601-17-117
T-case oil plug washer - 9956-21-800
Diff oil plug washer - 9956-41-800
A pump of some kind is highly recommended for all three locations.
-Basic, inexpensive hand pumps can be had from almost any parts store
