I was doing an oil & filter change on my 2019 CX 5 turbo yesterday. I had only put a little over 4900 miles on the car in the last 13 months and make a lot of short trips so figured it was a good idea. I used the latest GF-6 rated Mobil 1 5W-30 EP oil and a Mazda filter. Anyway, when wiping off...

I check the tire pressures and give them a quick inspection for things like nails in the treads every couple of weeks. It had been a while since I checked the pressure in the spare though. It is a PITA to check as since the valve stem points down, you have to pull the spare from the trunk to put...

I received a survey this morning from the Mazda Insiders Community. It asked a lot of questions regarding rotary engines and also hybrid electric/gasoline engines. It sounds like they are still considering offering a rotary engine at some time in the future. I bought a new 1984 RX7 GSL-SE with...

I was going to make about a 45 minute drive yesterday. Sirius would not load. I pulled over after a couple of minutes, shut off the engine and restarted the car. Still no Sirius. The Navigation feature worked normally. I could only get AM radio, and could not switch to one of the USB drives to...

I have had some experience with driving is snow but it was city driving on the flatlands of Virginia Beach. I now live in the Sou Cal mountains and on a fairly steep street. Yesterday I watched my neighbor with a Ford SUV that was front wheel drive only fail to get moving on the street in front...

I have not been able to find Mazda Moly oil in 5W-30 weight for my CX 5 turbo. The only thing I can find is the 0W-20 weight or the Mazda branded 5W-30 "Super Premium" which I don't even know what it is. Doesn't say it contains Moly on the label, and I assume it is just a good quality synthetic...

I'm not a fan of DRL's and have read the thread regarding the method to disable them. However, I would like to install a rocker switch somewhere on the dash that would allow them to be turned on or off at will regardless of the status of the headlights or fog lights. Has anyone done this and can...
