What have you done to your CX-5 today?

@N7turbo I sent you a private message; in case you are curious to continue this conversation.

Latest little maintenance step: Battery terminal cleaning.

Got rid of the minor corrosion, neutralized the acids, put on a pair of anti-corrision felt discs. Used a spray-on protectant on the terminals and cable ends, once the cables were reconnected.

Huh, I am not seeing it here.

'16 2.5L NA, 80,400m. Changed spark plugs (NGK); Cleaned throttle body. Not completely satisfied as there was carbon buildup that was caked on the back. Did the best I could with cleaner and rags. Probably could have done a better job with a toothbrush, but didn't have one handy.

Did the ghost touch repair. (disconnected the ribbon) and put new panels over the scratched piano black on the center console and door cards.

Is that an actual plastic replacement or some adhesive-backed decal?

I bought my cx-5 2021 GT this week and it came fully detailed but I spent time to coat all my rubber seals with silicone spray.....

.....and then I stood back, took a look and smiled a long while! Great car so far and missed owning a Japanese made car!

Can you list what those seals are?

They are a plastic covers. You just stick them over the scratched panels. If something happens and you need to open up the area for maintenance or a repair you will have to pop them up. No big deal they are cheap.

Today I did my first oil and filter change on our new 2025 Signature at 830 miles, and prepared a sample to send off to Blackstone for analysis. I used the Mazda 1WPY-14-302 filter and Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 and will do 5,000 mile changes from now on.

The Turbo uses the filter 1WPY-14-302.

The only difference appears to be the pressure required to activate the bypass, but it must be so for a reason.

Thanks, I corrected my post as I got the 2.5 turbo filter confused with my 2.0 MX-5... one letter difference and they even look the same.

Ahh yeah, same here. I keep both in the garage.
