    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Some info, Mazda states that you can use 10W-40 or 10W-50 in the first gen. https://owners-manual.mazda.com/gen/en/cx-5/cx-5_8dw2eo14k/contents/07030400.html Mazda rates the 2nd gen up to 5W-30 or 10W-30.

    Thanks for providing your experience. I buy my oil and filters on Amazon so there are no worries.

    I just don't get the view how this is somehow a scary problem. If you somehow, really, actually needed to, you could change your oil back to 0W-20. You don't have to do any or all service at a dealer. I have 1 year left on the powertrain warranty. I'd still make this upgrade day 1.

    Time for an oil change soon. I will definitely stick with 5W-30, it provides a better driving experience. You can't hear the sound of the engine over the sound of the tires most of the time. This is a day one upgrade in my opinion.

    2023 CX-5 Turbo vs Premium Plus

    Unless you're getting a really good deal, or have a lot of miles on your '21, why not keep the 2021 Turbo? How much is the change going to cost? It's the same car. If you will stay within the 5 year 60K powertrain warranty, I would consider keeping your current CX-5 a while longer.

    It's important to note that the Toyota RAV4, the world's most reliable SUV, doesn't have any engine problems whatsoever. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/MAZDA/CX-5/SUV/AWD https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2019/TOYOTA/RAV4/SUV/AWD

    Mazda corporate is terrible, why do people always recommend to contact them?

    It's that annoying drivetrain sound starting at 13:08 and recurring at random times. I've driven a Lexus RX hybrid that didn't make that annoying sound. I would find that noise really aggravating. Also a lot of road and tire noise at highway speeds. I was checking it out out of curiosity because...

    Toyota makes a really good product but it has gotten ridiculous. You are supposed to pay thousands of dollars extra just for the privilege of the Toyota dealer giving you THEIR business, not the other way around.

    The new Prius looks good but check out the pricing on the new Prius. They are selling them for $6,000-$10,000 over MSRP, everywhere. It's called the Toyota tax. https://priuschat.com/threads/thought-i-would-be-driving-a-new-2023-prius.239094/...
