    Key fob low battery on dash but new batteries?

    Not sure about 18s but on 2020 the keyfob can go to low power mode and it will unlock the car with the button but not activate the on off switch unless you touch the switch. Check your manual, can not remember how to reset it

    From a 2017 CX-5 to a 2020 with All Wheel Drive

    I think there is more clearance for right knee on 2020 vs my old 2016. I also think it is quieter, maybe a bit better gas mileage with CD and I love the stuff in premium - ventilated seats and key fob auto position seats, folding mirrors, walk away locking and radar cruise. I think the...

    Mixing OEM coolant with aftermarket

    I never used the word proprietary. What I said was if you use an additive not compatible with the seals it could shorten the life. The water pump manufacturer probably told Mazda what coolant formula to use for best seal life. I used the special GM Dextrose coolant in my 2000 Corvette and after...
