    Just needed to clean the battery terminal as there is a lot of the acid build up on the negative terminal. After removing the terminals and cleaning them, and putting them back on, will I need any radio code as things get reset? 2016 CX-5 Sport

They apparently couldn't find a leak back then. Well, the oil leak seems to be back and showing on the...
