Actually, Mazda does not fill the shifter extension housing with any fluid from the factory...
So, all stock cars which have never had the transmission serviced should be dry.
IIRC, even the FSM does not instruct you to do so?
Most of us do - it doesn't hurt anything.
One negative is that if you DON'T have good shift boot covers (all THREE of them! - well, at least the most expensive, inner one with the metal flange), it's going to make a mess!
