    Looking for a hitch to attach a bike rack

    I went with the Draw-Tite too. It has a second hole to take the slop out of the stinger, and looked slightly better to me.

    How do you have your cargo floor height adjusted? Silly question?

    Is this adjustment available because of doing away with a spare tire?

    2022 CX-5 NA oil level question

    I assume it is so, after adding new oil, the oil will circulate and reach an equilibrium running condition, so that after it will drain into the pan the same way it normally does after successive uses.

    2022 CX-5 NA oil level question

    We do not know that. For my 2018 the manual says, and I paraphrase from memory, 5 minutes - (or any amount of time more than that) - after warming up the engine then turning the car off. That could be 5 minutes, or 2 days, after turning the car off.

    CX-90 competition

    I want a CX-5 that is PHEV, better Infotainment, higher towing capacity, look as good as CX-90 (I think the CX-60 is the worst looking recent Mazda). I want play/pause function without going into a menu, preferably on the steering wheel. I hope it isn't shorter than the CX-5, and don't want it...

    Last oil change?

    Not so far from what happens in forums to be taken at face value :) Sarcasm works better when you can keep track of personalities, which I am very bad at on my various online forums.

    Last oil change?

    Come on, the title was a reference to getting old for maintaining a car. Other maintenance, aging, times changing seem on topic. In the title post the OP said "Anyone else facing the same age related issues?" That's more general than oil changes. Apologies if you were being facetious, and it...

    Last oil change?

    Impressive. If you forget to put the drain plug back in, put the oil filter on, or add the oil - then you know you are done. I just did mine the other day and forgot to move the catch pan out of the way of the passenger front tire before I backed out of the driveway. Spilled about a quart...

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    Thankyou. I also just found on my phone settings a toggle for "Taskbar Widgets" that was deselected and I've selected hoping it would fix it. Maybe if not the fix, it may be a prerequisite for what you are showing.

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    That looks a lot better on your wider 2023 screen, than on my 2018. For me, in that view, the map is square and too small a field of view. My full screen is about the size of your map portion. Lots of necessary space is wasted on the music app.

    I haven't seen how to access it, or any screenshots of such. I'll search some more, but please give more detail if you know.

    2020 CX-5 GT - New Android Auto rolling out for 2023?

    I just got it today. So far I hate it. I like the map to be full screen, but still able to pause my audiobook on audible. Now I have to eather lose 30% of my map, or not be able to pause/resume. If my 2018 had a pause function on the steering wheel, or even command knob interface, then I'd...

    Mazda Nav update email?

    Yeah, I found it very rude that there is no mention of fee in the email, or app they want you to install. Fortunately I'm so unimpressed with the Nav compared to Android Auto, that its a very easy decision to forego spending any money whatsoever, let alone what they want to charge.

    2022 CX-5: No Parchment with Turbo spec but 6 more HP?

    Funny, I started researching cars for my wife's next one back something like 2016. That's how I found the CX-5, of which she was not enamored. I ended up getting the 2018 for myself, and had to nurse my old car along for her because she couldn't settle on anything. For a long time, she was...

    Powerstop Drilled and Slotted Rotors Pros/Cons?

    I haven't shopped for since a couple years ago, but just want to give an endorsement to the geomet coated blanks. They have held up great and look way better than the stock rotors. I got my rotors and Powerstop Z23 (I think) from Rock Auto who had the best price.

    Replacement Key Fob for 2020 CX-5?

    3 years ago I ordered a 3rd key fob for my 2018 from OEM Car Key Mall for $53.10. I had it programmed at a local locksmith, I think that was $80.
