A replacement starter came in, of course ever since I ordered it no more sticking..
Sounds like you fixed it without getting your hands dirty.

Another example of severely under-filled rear differential from factory. Someone has precision-measured the fill capacity for 2016 CX-5 AWD which is 0.78 quart, and that is very close to your quart. Spec says 0.45 quart, which is 73.3% off the true capacity!Got around to changing the rear differential fluid today. Had to position car heading downhill backwards with rear tires on ramps. This gave me enough space to slide under the car and access the drain and fill plugs while still leaving the car somewhat level. I had no skinny sockets to remove the plugs so I had to use a 15/16" wrench on both. It used about 3/4 quart to refill, although not that much was drained out. I was concerned the fluid was going to drain all over the exhaust, but the stream missed it by about 1/2 inch.
An OEM starter costs only $48 shipped? Is it a used?
Yeah that seems to be the fact of life. Replace the original starter at the next occurrence of sticking *
Full day detailing wife*s brand new CX-5
Reload car wash
IronX chemical decontamination
Reload car wash
2 rounds of Clay Bar
Carpro Essence Xtreme Polish
final clean with Carpro Eraser
2 coats of CQuartz UK 3.0 ceramic
Tomorrow will finish it off with Gliss coating over Ceramic and DLUX on all exterior trim.
Next weekend pull tires and ceramic coat rims, and then Carpro leather the interior.
I bet it looks good!
When I detailed my CX-5 that I had for 6 months or so, the IronX did not seem to react (meaning there was no iron) and I only had a few paint contaminants that the clay picked up on the hood (although I had already run the Mother's Clay Bar 2.0 over the entire car after the initial wash).
What was your experience? Did you have any iron or paint contaminants?
I was glad I used ironx as the hood was purple after. A minute, and loads along the side and back.
The CX-5 is white so its great the it will stay clean longer, but with respect to polish and gloss, its pretty tough to make any wow factor like black or metalics
OK, looks like we need to pay more attention to the belt tensioner as it seems to be a problematic component.Welp ANOTHER failed tensioner, this time all the way to the pulley.

Yeah Im award of this tensioner problem. But now it seems to be more problematic than I thought.This has been known for a long time now. I've replaced mine once. I know plenty others here have as well. I believe there is a thread about it.
