Hi Dave, I took delvery of my CX5 diesel im March of this year. After a month of ownership, I had a couple of queries for the technician in the dealers workshop, one of which was the engine revs on occasion being high at start. I was told by the technician that the high revs were due to the...

Thanks to everyone who responed to my earlier posts, the information I have gleaned from the forum has been very helpful. I am still searching for a solution to help prevent the increasing sump oil levels due to failed DPF generation cycles, but finding a solution is made more difficult by not...

Lack Of Reporting On Oil Level Rise In Any Publications Broadbean, It is pretty incredulous that discussion or reporting of this problem has not been evident in any of the mainstream motoring 'on line' reviews or in Which magazine. I chose to purchase a CX-5 on the basis of all the Motoring...

Me Too! I purchased my CX5 in March of this year and so far it has done 1100 miles. It has the 'C' type dipstick and I assume has all the upgrades that have been discussed in this thread. My Brother in Law has a 4 year old petrol 6 and remarked in passing that he bought petrol because of the...
