    Daytime running lights on 2022 CX-5 can't be disabled?

    Can someone point me to the sequence to turn running lights on or off? I can't find it. I turned mine off years ago and forgot how.

    Brakes, Brakes and More Brakes…Help! 2018 Mazda3

    Figured I would purchase brake pads now so I have them when I need them. Got the Raybestos Element3 EHTTM, seems that people like them.

    Brakes, Brakes and More Brakes…Help! 2018 Mazda3

    How many miles do the rear brake pads last? I don't put many miles on my car but I'm thinking about changing my rear pads. I too have a 2018 Sport CX-5.

    Mazda Oil Filter Question

    Mm I just noticed that the ebay filters have printed on them Genuine Parts. Maybe the company making them is called Genuine.

    Mazda Oil Filter Question

    I was looking at oil filter prices today, and it appears that the Japan filter is now less money than the Thai filter. But they are calling the Japan filter PE01-14-302B/302A. Not sure why there is a slash 302A in the description. Anyway a pack of 10 Thai filters is $123.99 and a pack of 10...

    Mazda Infotainment Settlement

    Years ago there was a class action settlement against Paypal. I don't remember what the case was about. But I received a check for one penny. I never cashed it, I think I still have the check somewhere. I went and found it, the check is for two pennies, not one. And it was versus Ebay, a Brice...

    Clunking noise from driverside front has mechanics stumped

    My CX-5 makes a clunk that I feel more than I hear, when I first pull out of my garage. My car has to roll for it to happen, it doesn't do it putting it in gear or giving it gas. Then after one time it doesn't do it again until the next day. So it seems like something sticks over night and...

    Oil low? 2021 CX-5 26k miles

    Dealerships are strange. They know your make/model year falls into the valve seal issue, they can even check for a leak with a simple test. Why do they resist doing the work. I guess it is the reason Tchman2016 said. Burning oil can potentially clog up the catalytic converter. Yryei52 proves to...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Sport Mode Driving issues?

    I've been being hard on my car by doing short trips. Then yesterday I didn't let it warm up, backed out of my garage and parked it in the driveway to get the lawn mower out, and later pulled back in the garage. So today when I started my car the engine didn't sound great, it was making a taping...

    SkyActiv Oil Analysis Thread

    I don't believe that there is some sort of magic break in oil. Honda had that recommendation to help with the environment. But changing the oil early isn't necessary, and most people don't change the oil early. I admit that I changed mine early, I don't think I ruined my engine, I may have...

    SkyActiv Oil Analysis Thread

    Volkswagen also fudged the numbers on their emission tests and were caught. The engines were probably burning a lot of oil from people changing it too soon and they hid it :ROFLMAO:
