    Mazda CX-40 Rumors

    IMHO they should just make the CX-5 the CX-50, Scrap the Current CX-50 and be done with it. CX-5 is a killer, just don't mess with success.

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    There's a whole lot of actchually's going on in this thread. How about, you use whatever oil you want and if you blow up your motor we all get to say "Neener Neener Neener, you're a big fat weiner!".

    I have the car booked in this Saturday for 4 Michelin Defender 2's. I have them on my CX-5 and they are fantastic. I hope they perform just as good on the CX-30.

    Does Your Napa Leather have a Chemical Smell?

    That smell is all the chemicals they put on the leather that are "off gassing". New car smell....off gassing.

    I was told that the belt tensioner is leaking, that's why it's there.

    Join Redtiger’s Testing Program: Test the F17Elite Flagship Dashcam!

    Since this is still open, I'm throwing my hat in the ring. 1. The dashcam(s) would be installed on my 2017 Mazda CX-5 GT No Tech, and/or my 2023 Mazda CX-30 GT (non turbo). Neither vehicle has had a dashcam. 2. I do not have any testing experience but I have been the equipment manager for my...

    New CX-5 Owner - AWD question

    Michelin Defender II's on my 2017 CX-5 and I can get it to cut loose. Similar to the above, you gotta hammer it a bit in order get the rear end to come out.

    A reminder to run Top Tier fuel and avoid cheap gas

    I really like Sherwood. He is super thorough. What gets me about some of his videos is he leaves out massive critical information that could shed light on the problem. For example: In this video he says that he doesn't know where the guy gets gas. Ummm, isn't this a critical piece of...
