AAA installed a new battery in my 2016.5 which appears to have slightly improved engine smoothness and pick up......am I imagining this?

My 2016.5 CX5 was purchased new in 2017. The car has 41,000 miles. Do the spark plugs needs replacing at this point? If so, I'd love to have a go a replacing myself....is this feasible for anyone with zero mechanical experience such as myself? For the sake of saving $$$ I'd like to have a go...

Greetings....looking for advice please on oil change for a 2016 Grand Touring, 35,000 miles - is there a special oil (full synthetic, brand?) and oil filter I should request? I've not had an oil change in about 15,000 miles. I'm having the oil change done at my local Pep Boys. I installed a new...

Very grateful for you taking the time to respond.....today I engaged the EPB maintenance mode as a test which seems to helped. Both the left and right brakes appear to be disengaging at the the same time!

What is the best size tire for a 2016 Grand Touring please? Car has 35,000 miles and I currently have on the original Toyo A23 225/55R19....worst riding tires I have ever experienced. Thanks,

Incredible insight guys....thanks.

Sometimes the electrics on my 2016.5 CX-5 die...Meaning I have to use the manual key to open the driver's door. The engine seems completely dead. But my daughter's friend told me to open the hood and touch the engine in a couple of places then try to start the engine again...It worked and didn't...
