    Comparing 87 to 91 octane for the 2.5L non-turbo engine

    To OP: You're going to get furious debate on here about this issue. You'll get all the pseudo scientists trotting out all the documentation in the world showing that there is no difference in using 87 vs. 91. Then you'll get all the pseudo scientists trotting out all the documentation in the...

    Poor Gas Mileage, getting worse and worse

    I change my air filter every 25k just to be safe. Every few months I run a tank of 94 octane with fuel injector cleaner. I go WOT once in a while to "blow out the carbon". I do everything I'm supposed to do. I just don't want to lunch my motor doing the fuel system thing through the vacuum system.

    Poor Gas Mileage, getting worse and worse

    We drive mainly highway, minimal city driving. I was averaging about 9-9.5 L/100kms, sometimes in the 8's. I check tire pressures often, same routes, same passengers. Nothing changes. Same gas station even (Costco). No I have not. It only has 100k Kms on it. Still a while for plugs yet.

    Poor Gas Mileage, getting worse and worse

    I know this has been discussed before but here we go again. 2017 AWD CX-5, GT no tech package. 100k Kms on the odo. My gas mileage has been getting steadily worse and worse. I currently sit at about 10-10.1 L/100kms. Previously I'd get somewhere between 9 and 9.5. Is there some sort of magic...

    Replace rear brake pads and Rotors @40,000 Miles?

    Rears are garbage. I had to have pads and rotors done in June of 2020 with only about ±50k kms. Which isn't terrible but the car was only 3 years old at the time.

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    Not everyone is an electrical engineer and understands things the same way. Maybe I was mistaken on the exact specific way of this particular theft. All I'm saying is that thieves can sit in their vehicle to grab your code and then steal your car. I mean if you want to get absolutely specific...

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    The fact that a similar thing can be done without even getting close to the house is what I am driving at. The picture is somewhat incorrect. What I am saying is that the signal relay theft is happening, but the people aren't going up to the house as depicted.

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    ALL of the thefts with video show the thieves never even approaching the house, except to steal the vehicle. You are incorrect or at least partially wrong.

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    Incorrect, The theives sit outside in the car with a device and then the car unlocks. There is literal video footage of them. The little graphic someone posted is wrong. They can do it from a car on the street.

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    Ottawa, There have been a plethora of stories about Toyotas being stolen. As I said, one lady had her SUV stolen 4 times. She did all the right things and it still got lifted. Just google it, it's not hard.

    Are you concerned about signal relaying theft?

    Incorrect, the city I live in has had massive amount of thefts of vehicles because of this. This is not isolated. One person in my city had her Highlander stolen 4 times! She used all the boxes, kept the fobs away blah blah blah. All of it. Faraday boxes do not work btw. The only safe way to...

    Airbag Light Flashes After Prolonged Exposure to Cold

    No, never figured out what the code is or the flashing. Once the vehicle warms up, I restart the vehicle and the flashing goes away. Once I bring my truck into the shop for it's next oil change, I will see if they can pull the codes (if any).

    CX-5 Service Recommendation

    Isn't this one of the easiest things to change on your own? Took me like 5 minutes.

    CX-5 Service Recommendation

    For the PCV service, Wouldn't they need to disassemble a good chunk of the motor to get to the PCV or did it change from 2016.5 to 2017? I know I just looked this up a few days ago and to get to the PCV, it's alot of work.

    Is the stock catch can/system replaceable on a 2017 CX-5?

    Can the existing stock catch can system/setup be replaced/cleaned,/maintained? Now I know some of you might say "Well, just put in the Corksport Catch Can system if you're going to go through all that hassle". Yes, that is a good point, but maybe just replacing the existing system would help...

    Airbag Light Flashes After Prolonged Exposure to Cold

    That's what ends up happening. Everything warms up a bit, then I restart the Truck and voila, the airbag light goes off. I just want to know if anyone else has had their airbag light flash when it's really cold.
