The lubricant table names Mazda Genuine ATF-FZ for the automatic transaxle and nothing else.
2.0 is 8.2 US qt. 2.5 prints 8.2 and 8.5 US qt. The 2.5 turbo and the diesel are 8.5 US qt. The note says these are approximate and the level is checked with a dipstick or a reservoir gauge.
Manual transaxle oil, transfer-case oil, and rear-differential oil have their own rows. They are not ATF-FZ.
A dipstick procedure with temperatures and a hot level is not printed next to the ATF-FZ row. This page does not borrow one from another Mazda.
Engine oil is a different fill. It is on the oil guide.
