    2016 CX-9 Fuel Filter Replacement Tips?

    Good luck with your car shopping but it seems like it all started with letting a lube shop work on your car. However, given the mileage and year of the vehicle, I do think it's a good time to get something newer.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Door handles and mirror caps?

    Replacement parts are painted from the factory. I think the cleanest way (if you're looking for black) is order OEM replacement painted in black

    2016~2023 Improving/maximizing fuel economy

    Comparing with hybrid is frankly apples to oranges. If it makes you feel better, one thing the crv can't achieve is to seat 7(or 6). :)

    2016~2023 Improving/maximizing fuel economy

    I think I read somewhere that each 100# = 1mpg. So the extra occupants + cargo would yield -2 mpg. Also, the EPA estimate was likely achieved at lower highway speed and so I think considering everything, your 5mpg hit was reasonable

    2016 CX-9 Armrest Replacement

    Honestly I wouldn't bother because the padding sucks on the armrest so a new one likely wouldn't help. Maybe the newer models will have improved padding? But I couldn't find the exact part number. #8...

    Cracked Cylinder Head (2018 CX-9)

    I think it's normal for the level to fluctuate. If you really are losing coolant, you'll smell it and you'll have a stream of green crust running down the block.

    Oil filter housing cross threaded? 2020 CX-9

    As other people mentioned already, The filter should spin on freely with zero resistance. If it doesn't, then something is wrong. If you force it and a thread breaks off then you'll have a bigger problem. I say leave it for now if the leak is not too bad
