Brake Fluid / Pads / Rotors all go in at same time. My 2nd Car I did it at 65K miles of highway driving. In CX5 I got the rear brake TSB done - so new pads in rear and new fluid, so again I will be looking at 60K-70K miles or so. If I set my CX5 to OCI - it would recommend an oil change every...

If I have to guess its the park selector switch which has been a failure point. As it is relatively simple to change I will give it a go if it breaks down. At this point no such issues.

When I slide my gear selector to Park - I hear a distinctive thunk sound which I don't remember earlier. I have always used parking brake before putting it in Park and removed the Park brake after putting it in gear. It could be one of those issues like the door lock mechanisms which are...

2020 Mazda6 has 2.5T in GT GT-R and Signature. Not seen or heard about 2020 CX5 if it will have 2.5T under GT trim which I had predicted.

Skyactiv X is not coming to USA anytime soon, over in Europe it is doing pretty good. Same power numbers as 2.5 in a 2.0 config with 20% or more fuel economy. Gas is cheap in the US, same Mitsubishi PHEV outlander goes for top dollar in Europe and is sought after - here dealers have to discount...

Mazda has admitted their pricing strategy on the new 3 was off and hence sales tanked even though profit per car was better. The diesel could have been a feeler to see what customers will pay, where is a benchmark for a CX5 sized car in terms of max price which is nice for a brand to know...

both the websites have weird shipping costs. 20 bucks for wiper inserts + oil filter, oil filter alone is 9 bucks with shipping. I might get 2 or 3 oil filters but wiper inserts seem ok on eBay

It would be a dream if my CX5 took 13 gallons - its best is 12 gallons. 13 @ 29 would be 350 miles, still bad compared to many 500-600 mile per tank cars. Even the newer hybrids like Insight have a small tank - tank range should be more of a factor as it takes time to fill up and time is … money.

I just filled up 10.4 gallons and had a range of 50 miles so probably 10.8 ~ 11 gallons when light comes on and this is what I normally fill up. Surprisingly as it was when I bought it up my real world mpg seems to be 0.4 to 1.5 mpg higher than what the car calculates. 28.8 vs 29.4 this time...

You will have modify in order for touch screen to work. There are many mazda3 forums where the instructions are listed. Stock software version disables touch as soon as you start moving above 5 mph. Any software update will wipe out your mod and you may need to install new. If you get a chance...

My CX5 transmission oil will probably get drained and filled at a Toyota dealer. Is it possible to clean the dipstick with a long nozzle power washer? and follow up by a rag before taking it in? Or to even clean it you need to remove the airbox?

Once there was fruit here Who banged on how great was the CRV ridin' Then he vanished for ever On CRV forums crying about fuel fumes in his cabin

142K for 8K is spot on. 4K buys nothing nowadays - understand that this is 2016 model year car, if it was 2012 I would have said 8K is too much. So the suspension and transmission are not getting hammered in city driving or towing. 8K is pretty nice for a CUV. Only others that you can reasonably...

The fact that single owner drove it for so long makes the prior accidents seem less scary. At 142K miles your main concerns should be the belts and transmission. Belts have worn out for few members in the 150s and 160s K miles. It really depends on whether someone towed with it and usage...

^^ Boland, got a Q on Transmission Filter - for this you had to drop the pan? And do you feel it was worth it. How did your Tx fluid look at 45 / 75 and 110? This is kind of different interval then what most owners do here which is 5000 miles apart.

I ditched my Matsuda dealer and go to my trusted yota dealer. I bought my own oil and will get my own washer and filter from next time onwards. First oil change was free (Only 28 bucks for the oil). The oil used by my Mazda dealer was pretty awful - cx5 felt sluggish and mpg was down by 2. When...

Search MAzdaswag .com its a dealer's website. It has the Taiwanese filters for 6.80 bucks. I don't knw if shipping is free and have never used them. They are my backup.

https://www.amazon.com/LFOTPP-Navigator-Sunshade-Navigation-Reflective/dp/B07JJJ74XB It costs 12 bucks. I am not sure if this fits CX5 Gen 2 but you can try.

No. It gets top quality oil and good oil filter. Everything else is to save money. If it has even a single repair under 100K its a fail, if it has none at 150K - its a pass and will be sold at 150 no matter what. The biggest downside for Mazda vs Toyonda is that the depreciation curve for those...

OP do you have a price estimate of replacement ?
