Hi Guys, where do you get good replacement air filters for your CX-7? I looked it up at Amazon and found some in the price range of $10-$20. Are those any good? Thanks in advance.

Seems you're everywhere ... Well, they were quoting $758, and I said the quote I had was $632, blah blah. Then they said the best they could do was $682 ... Hope they do have them in stock ...

Just placed order with my dealership for these KL51 tires. I got a quote of $632 (with everything included) like 4 months ago, but now it's $682. Still a bit cheaper than I can get from tirerack ... Is the price of tires really increasing this fast?

Yes you are right. I checked the report again. It say 4/32". Apparently Mazda recommends a tire replacement when it is less than 4/32". So I guess I will keep running on these tires ...

Thanks to all for your replies. I got my car back with the air filter replaced for $38 ($12 labor and $25 part) plus tax. Well, next time I will do it myself. I think I can get the cabin filter from Amazon for below $15 and and do it myself as well. I also got the quotes for tires from the...

Thank you for your reply. I didn't plan to do the tire replacement at the dealership. I'd rather go to discount tires or other places ... But I'd like to know what tires you guys choose and how do they ride. I know the stock tires are just not good ... I just checked the price for an air...

I took my cx7 in for oil change and tire rotation today, and just got a call from the dealer says that my tires need to be replaced instead of rotated (well I did notice that the small treads are gone, but I guessed I could get another 5k mi on them since I just passed the 25k mi tick). The...

My '07 usually calms down (to ~ 1k) after about 30 seconds, so I decided not to wait this long every single time.

Thanks. Surely there are some sensors in the seat, just thought it would be better if they are covered. (boom07)

Never looked into under the front passenger seat, but surprised to found out that there is this cable running into a harness as shown in the picture. Is this what it should look like? Thought these stuff should be somehow protected and out of direct sight. Thanks.

I guess it's because the idle speed is relatively high, say ~2000 rpm.

May I know what cleaner you used? I've got A LOT OF soot built up, and I need to clean up the inside of my tailpipes every month. The other day I asked the service manager about this, he simply told me that every turbo does this. Thanks.

My '07 does the same. Idles at 2100 from a cold start and drops to 1300 in like 30 seconds. But I still got a clunk shifting to R at this point. And also, shifting directly to D was fine, no clunk. I didn't bother watch the tacho before shifting to R (right away) until I came cross this thread...
