    Safety recall for CX-70 and CX-90

    The only thing fuel gauge I've noticed on my CX70 is even when I put as much gas as I can in it the fuel gauge still doesn't read as full. It's very close but not quite to the full mark. I've tried it with the car parked at different angles with the same result. My Mazda app shows 99% as the...

    What grade oil do you prefer?

    We live in Houston so 95% of the year it's hot. My next oil change I'm going to use 5W-30. I saw that same You Tube video and it convinced me to try it.

    The outside looks like the twin to my Turbo S Plus!

    87 vs 91 Octane and 2.5T Torque/RPM specs

    My wife drives our 2023 turbo. I switched from 93 to 87 octane over a year ago. No difference in feel or mileage for her. I guess if you were in the upper rpm range you might feel a difference but for everyday driving I can't. Same with our 2025 CX70 Premium Plus S.

    How easy is DIY for the spark plugs?

    We're on our third CX5. Haven't done the ones on our 2023 turbo yet but the other two cars were very easy. Make sure the engine is cold when you do it and I'll second using a torque wrench is good advice.

    Sho's 7th Mazda!

    Ours is averaging 29.5 mpg so we're in the same ballpark. Like you I'm very surprised and impressed with the mileage. Keep up the posts!

    Added a CX-70 to the Stable

    Congratulations! Very nice looking car. We have the Premium Plus S. I have been using 87 octane in it for the past 4000 miles and notice no difference in power or gas mileage. Most of our driving is suburban or on the highway. To date averaging 29.5 mpg.

    Tire recommendations for the CX-90 PHEV?

    I found them listed on Tire Rack. I would assume Discount Tire would carry them too.

    Tire recommendations for the CX-90 PHEV?

    My 2025 CX70 Premium Plus S only has 5500 miles on it. However, when it comes time, I'm leaning towards the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus tires. Good wear rating handling and all- season performance. I had those on another vehicle and they performed well. I'm hopefully a couple years...

    Mazda CX-70/CX-90 ready for Primetime?

    I've got a CX70 PP+ S. I've had similar experiences as you with the exception of point 5. To date (4K miles) I'm averaging 29.8 mpg. I started out with 93 octane but after the first few tank fulls of gas switched to 87 and don't notice any difference. My driving is suburban over here in the...

    This Forum Lacks Excitement and That is WONDERFUL!

    No complaints here. Our 2025 CX70 PP Plus S just turned over 3700 miles. What I'm really happy about is I'm averaging 30 mpg on regular gas. I started out with premium 93 but then tried 87 octane. No difference.

    Anyone replace PCV valve?

    My son now owns our 2016 CX5 GT. 155K miles on it. PCV valve is original. No issues.

    First Transmission Drain and Fill on 2016 CX-5

    If it was a very dark red color I guess it's possible that it's the old original very dirty FZ fluid. If it's a bright red then no way.

    Question about stop/start and different trim levels

    Our 2023 CX5 Turbo doesn't have it. However, our 2025 CX70 does.
