Sorry I never updated y'all...backstory: My daughter's 2016 CX-5 only came with one key fob so I bought one on-line and called Mazda dealer, $170 to get it working. I called Toyota dealer (where we bought the car used) and the lady said they'll do it for $65.
So I show up at the Toyota Dealer and service manager said lady making appointments doesn't know stuff and the can ONLY program Toyota cars. (They can't even program Lexus!) So, on the drive home, I remember our Battery Plus store advertises they can do it so I dropped it. Guy said they an do it for $70.....SWEET!
Fast-forward 4-hours (and two program tools) and the poor kid finally got it working. Unfortunately, the key cutter didn't make a workable key (even after two runs) but figured that's okay...got two working fobs.
I did a transmission service on her Mazda and also want to drain/fill the differentials but looks like I can only use Mazda gear lube which is $30 a quart at the dealer. This is unacceptable, even Toyota lets us use GL-4 or GL-5 in our other vehicles. What do y'all use for this? (No way I'm paying $30 a quart.)
Her roof rack has a cover part missing and discovered I have to buy a whole new rack, can't buy that part. She just wants me to remove it but, now, I'll need to find the black rubber piece to replace when I remove the old one...back to Mazda Parts to search.
