    Replaced headrests with.....

    Looks great ! That headrest angle looks to be more natural and comfortable for the driver. Just a question though, are you positive it's from an Acura MDX, the ones on eBay looks different, the angle and stitching pattern and post diameter don't look the same, please see attached picture: Thx

    $3.98 trick to reduce wind noise and make passenger cabin quieter

    Hi guys, I noticed lately during this summer a huge increase in wind noise when driving on the highway. Also, noticed I had to increase the volume of the radio to drown out the noise from outside. I took it to my buddy's shop expecting him to say I needed to replace all my door/frame seals...

    Replaced headrests with.....

    Very cool, can you please post some pics, I know exactly what you mean about the OEM headrests pushing driver's head forward at an awkward angle, I replaced mine with free 2014 Ford explorer headrests I got from my buddy, they are a lot more comfortable. They weren't plug and play like...

    Can someone confirm that this CX-9 is indeed a Grand Touring trim?

    This only applies to AWD models, see if seller will allow you to get under the car to check for any signs of leaking, transfer case is located upfront between driver and passenger seats, see thread in how to section of this CX-9 forum regarding changing transfer case oil, look for the u-pipe and...

    $21 electric sunction extractor/transfer pump for transfer case oil changes

    Ford Edge, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKX all have the same transfer case as CX-9. A member here on this forum did some detective work and actually located the letters "FoMoCo" (acronym for Ford Motor Company) on the transfer case casting with BOTH FORD AND MAZDA part numbers: FORD P/N...

    2013 CX-9 AWD - Transfer Case Fluid Change...Attempt

    All they need is a stubby 3/8 square drive ratchet. I agree with rowlands57 - access the plug from the rear; then cross from above the beam member that's underneath, if the shop can't even handle that, I don't think they're the right shop for the job, or they're trying to make it seem harder...

    getting new transfer case as we speak!

    sorry to hear about your troubles, only thing that I can think of that may cause the grinding sound is the splines from the transmission that connects to the new transfer case, you should bring the car to the dealer and explain the grinding noise and ask them to check the splines of the...

    Conventional engine oil versus Synthetic

    Hi Vlad, your english is just fine, thanks for your contribution, much appreciated, so there's no way to get 5w20 at all in Russia ? that's very surprising, can you order from amazon.com and ship it to Russia (I'm not sure of shipping costs) I've never heard "ticking" before when I use...

    $21 electric sunction extractor/transfer pump for transfer case oil changes

    We haven't heard any issues so far with 2014/2015 AWD CX-9s, but it might just be too soon and not enough mileage yet to know, supposedly there's a newer transfer case p/n AW21-27-500K-9U based on TSB TSB 03-001/12...

    $21 electric sunction extractor/transfer pump for transfer case oil changes

    No problem, glad I can help, yep the electric pump is a much easier method than the suction gun. I'm with you, I plan to swap out the oil twice a year.

    Conventional engine oil versus Synthetic

    In the video below it seems like the conventional oil runs too thick when cold even though it's rated at 5W-30, Also, is anybody running 5W-30 instead of 5W-20 per owners manual. I read that 5W-30 is actually better when the engine is running hot since it has higher viscosity and slightly...

    Suspicious antenna...

    with all three of these present (dipole antenna by mirror, program button, hood switch) I'm 100% positive you have the OEM remote start installed already, funny thing was I didn't even know about the program switch until you mentioned it, I went and looked and sure enough, it's mounted in the...
