Do you think the Nexus tires could have affected the handling during your test drive? Maybe you could find another CX-5 you could test drive to compare.

Were the spark plugs replaced at 75k? You might ask what the fuel/air induction service is. Are your control arms bad?

It seems to me there are several symptoms that could point to stem seals. 1) smokes on startup after sitting hot for a period of time due to leakage of thinned out oil accumulating then the burn off during startup 2) after a good hot drive sitting and idling for several minutes then a burn off...

It might be embedded in the latch assembly.

You'll probably have toremove the interior door panel. It might be something simple. Have you ever removed the door panels (for new speakers, etc)?

I repacked the caliper pins with grease. They can wear out as well, and then need to be replaced. There are some issues with the ebrakes as well.

I bet a winter tire would wear faster in hot weather. Would it be "too sticky" somehow?

I think the most important thing is that the air filter is installed and fits properly so that contaminants can't get around a gasket. Usually the aftermarket filters seem to have adequate gaskets.

Are you going to put them on some different rims, so you can swap them out?

I always let my oil drain out as much as possible, sometimes overnite. Usually I put in a whole 5qt jug. So we are supposed to change the fuel filter every three years? I never heard of that. I hope the dealers don't hear about it.

I did quite a bit better than $250 a tire... I think they were a just bit over $150. I ordered them from Discount Tires Online and had them mounted at a local walmart. There are people that recommend new tires regardless of mileage when the tires reach a certain age, due to deterioration...

I just made a 1200 mile trip and my Scangauge was showing 177 for the coolant. I made a short charge up a grade and I saw 179 but it returned to 177. The outside temperature was in the low 40's and I had the heat on but without running the fan. I haven't gotten any codes and it warms up from a...

general engine noise because the engine is cold? Don't rev it too much til it warms up.

Mine has always done that and I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump.

I've noticed a couple of times when I manually computed my MPG it was higher than the dash gauge indicated. I got 36mpg on one leg of my recent 1200 mile trip (2.0NA 6MT)but not as good on the return. Probably wind. I get noticably better MPG with no ethanol gas, no matter what the octane.

I doubt it will affect the alignment. Make sure the tires have plenty of air.

I have some kind of "amazon version" of the Genius. It's not only important to keep a battery fully charged to ensure a quick start but also too prevent sulfation and ruin of the battery. I kept my original Panasonic battery fully charged and away from heat and it lasted over six years. A...

Splice on a new connector instead of replace the harness might work.

Do you have new tires?

I think if you read the statement carefully, it says the Mazda will get maximum performance from conventional oil. Then it references your local Mazda dealer. That doesn't preclude the fact that while syn oil doesn't improve performance it could result in longer engine and turbo life. If I...
