You didnt read what I wrote or need glasses- and I dont decipher grade school acronyms - I said 0W-20 was " conventional "and the 5W-30 rec by Mazda is conventional ....the 0W-20 is full syn gf-5 which I said I use OE from Mazda - and I will write what I like - restate , that both the C8 GM...

About 6 mos and 12k into my 23 CX5 P -I was washing it and noted an uneven seam on the drivers side front bumper where it meets the quarter panel . It may be minor but stiil / The bumper is not steel and qp is so its a place where not only to different materials meet but the bumper is affixed to...

The car care nut was a Toyota Master Tech and has rebuilt countless engines ..by the book , and I stumbled across this because he normally is discussing Yodas or Lexus- Well it seems that the engine and transmission technology have him bitten by the Mazda bug , and he explains in great detail...

0W-8 in what ? I found another video of the car care nut -Master Tech who rebuilt Yoda engines for years strangely HIGHLY RECOMMENDING the Mazda CX5 Turbo !!!- ...says Mazda invented the new patented open valve on compression stroke intake valves - and its on the CX5T/NA and Yoda wanted it so...

I keyed on your post for 2 reasons -- I have a Rhoudim White / Parchment CX5 and Ive never seen another white / white since I picked it up ( its a 23 ) - Then I saw your inquiry on oil -- Thats a slippery question -- and Ive been back and forth on it - You sound pretty well educated on cars...

I didnt even see that you were a moderator - and thought we were making some good points , theres always more than one way to see things- Being able to disagree and not take any issue or subject down a path which deviates into the personal area is a sign of maturity , and thus good debating...

19s look beefy and able to take a curb hit - great combo The car care nut ( who is a lifetime Toyota engine builder/mechanic ) tells why he likes the Mazda CX5 Turbo (22) same as 23.24 - surprisingly it appears Mazda sold intake valve timing tech to Toyota and thus the new love affair between...

My discourse is a search for the truth , and what is and isnt. Its not about you. If you choose you bow out of the discussion , thats fine , but using some personal angle insinuating that I am " off topic " or some other cop out instead of sticking with fact based opinions is weak. I gave an...

Ok we somewhat agree -- yet the " car " was not designed to run on 87 ..it will run on 87 -- it has more power , less knock potential and better fuel economy on 91-93 and is a high compression combustion engine which is unlike all other vehicles in its category- It is capable of running on...

I know its a stretch ...but ceramic coating improves fuel efficiency -- I believe I mentioned it in another post -- although minor , it does even more so on aircraft - Thanks

If that 2 is a stick - its worth its weight in gold -- totally overlooked car - poor sales , but unreplaceable gem - handles awesome with alloys & good rubber

my bad-- didnt read the op again- I would say thats something to consider and have it checked out by a brake expert -

What does the department of Housing and Urban Development have to do with the CX5?
