I was told today by the people that changed my oil that my battery was weak. I know how to test it with a multi-meter while cranking the engine. The engine can not start while doing this test and I was wondering if I pull fuse 3 which is labeled injector eng.sub does this disable the injectors...

Mine is a 2019 GT and it happens when I'm just driving. I haven't noticed any particular car position when it happens. It happens when driving straight, stopped at a traffic light but I haven't noticed it happening in a turn.

I know this has been on here before but Occasionally I hear a noise best described as a whoop. It doesn't occur regularlyand my best guess is that something is venting. Does anyone have more information?

The thicker the oil the more it lubricates that's a fact. The thinner oil is recommended primarily to save gas. Going up a little in weight doesn't hurt just don't go as far as 90 weight gear oil. You could run straight 30 weight oil and it wouldn't hurt. In Florida I run 5 or 10w20 in the...

Even independent mechs want to make a buck. I would venture to say if they told you you didn't need it you don't. Dealerships have higher overheads than independents so they try to get everything out of you they can. Of course this doesn't mean all independents are honest but all things...

If you sell it for 39k and that could be a big if you still would be losing money albeit not much. You wouldn't recover the money you've spent on driving it if only for 1500 miles.

One thing you may consider is pressurising your coolant system with a gauge and do a leak down test.

All gas is the same no matter where you get it. If a tanker delivers to one station and doesn't empty the truck he goes to another station no matter who if they pay for it. I've always used the cheapest I could find my whole life and had no trouble. By the way there's more energy in a gallon of...

All I can say is that if I keep my city driving speed to within one or two miles of the limit I get a true 30 mpg.

I got gas last Saturday and checked my mileage. It was an honest 30mpg. This surprised me because it was all around town driving. I find that if I drive the posted speed or very slightly above I get wonderful mileage. My only hate is that the tank is so small. I guess it's so that the weight of...

Drive the speed limit. You won't get a ticket! Save gas also!

Citroen had this suspension and people loved it. I don't know all the particulars about it but maybe Mazda ought to take a look at it. Work out the positives and negatives and possibly improve it if possible.

Maybe Mazda should consider something like the Hyundai Santa Cruz. They might base it on the CX9 so it isn't too small. Of course they could start from scratch and come up with something great. I can't look down the road at the marketing possibilities but I bet it would be a hit. I don't think...

All the cars I've ever known that had timing chain problems the chains weren't dependent on oil pressure to maintain tension just lubrication for the tensioner which was held by a spring. I let the oil run low in mine once and stopped by the store to get a quart and never had problems but it...

Mazda being a small company I believe tries harder and gives more for the money. Their reliability is right up there with some of the top like Lexus and Infiniti. My CX5 is just right for my needs.

Just passed 30k miles and am happy with them. I may replace them with the same thing when the time comes!

I've noticed deep scratches and a possible fracture on the passenger side B pillar cover. I have researched and found they can be obtained fairly cheaply but can find no info on how to remove them to replace. Anyone help?

No the one I'm talking about is by Dongar Technologies. Just unplug the rearview mirror and plug the adapter then plug mirror in and plug camera into remaining plug. Simple as that.

I have a 2019 GT with the homelink. Amazon has an adapter that allows you to plug a dash cam in without any trouble to the back of the mirror. Can't remember the name but you can look on amazon.

One man's meat is another's poison. My opinion is the exact opposite of yours but I'm not a professional race driver. You voice what seems like your opinion like everyone else ought to feel the same way instead of couching it in terms making it evident that it is your opinion. You don't like it...
