    2021 CX-5 Rusty door hinges

    Just use vinegar straight. The 'mix' was for Barkeeper's Friend (which is a powder). But wipe it dry as soon as you can after waiting 15-30 mins, and then spray WD-40 immediately after that to displace any remaining moisture.

    CX-5 NA Oil weight 0w20 or 5w30?

    Huh? I very much doubt the latter.

    2021 CX-5 Rusty door hinges

    This^ Or use some white vinegar or 'Barkeeper's Friend' (mixed into a paste) instead of the Iron X. Both are mild acids, and will have the same effect as Iron X or other phosphoric acid solutions, yet are much milder/less caustic than the latter. Wipe off and spray with WD40 to keep the...

    2017 CX-5 GT Android Auto Upgrade Questions

    The kit is for wired, but once you've installed it, you can then buy a cheap wireless adapter puck that just plugs into the car USB port. I got this one for the wife's car and it works just fine. It's actually tiny (the pics make it look huge) but there are MANY others to choose from...

    Just got a 2016.5 CX-5 - Tips, Tricks and MPG

    I agree with you, though more because of oil drainage & wear rather than heat differentials. On my CX-50, I installed a module to disable i-stop.

    Battery Dead .5~1.0V voltage drop normal?

    Many (most) modern cars have the switch built in to the door latch. If the door is showing 'open' when it's closed, the latch is faulty.

    Battery Dead .5~1.0V voltage drop normal?

    I doubt this would work. The fuses are dead shorts using very short pieces of 'wire', thus have extremely tiny resistance. Even if 5A were going through a single fuse, I would (guess) the voltage across that tiny resistance is within the margin of error for a consumer multimeter. But by all...

    Is a 5.0A Parasitic Draw a lot?

    PLEASE don't start multiple threads for the same thing! As I said on your other thread: "The circuits in the car will still run for a time after turning off the ignition. Leave your meter IN PLACE and come back after ~20mins or so, and report back the reading then."

    2024 CX-5 with 5,000 km questions

    A lot of that can be due to the wheel/tire combo. Lower profile higher performance tires can have a huge impact on steering responsiveness.
