Are there any recent threads with owners having the cracked head with the 2.5NA? Just curious.

So, I see most people posting about the 2.5 turbo. But don't really see anyone posting about the 2.5NA engine (oil leak or cracked head). Just curious if any owners are having this issue with the 2021 CX-5 sport 2.5NA?

I took my '16 CX-5 sport to the Mazda dealer recently for a synthetic oil change. Car has about 91k. I feel like the accelerator pedal feel heavier than before. Feels a bit sluggish when accelerating to like 40 mph. They claimed that they used synthetic 0w-20 oil in the engine as it states...

Yeah, so on my 2016 CX-5 sport, I get the oil change done at six months and 5k.

Thats fine to change it 5k, and that's when he'll do his next oil change. But the interval can be one year if you only drive about 5k miles a year?

Yes, but you can also drive up to 10k a year or yearly oil changes on these models from what I understand. Or does the onboard computer figure out driving style, etc. and determine the estimated time left in miles and length for oil change?

So, my brother bought a 2021 CX-5 sport 2.5NA with about 19,150 miles at end of March 2024 from a Honda dealership. The oil change was done by the dealership on 2/29/2024 at 19,090 miles. He drives a few miles a day and not much and now has 20,556 miles on the car. When he starts the car it...

I just happened to check 2024 CX-5s for sale online in south Florida. All the sports I looked at had the 'L' in the eighth digit of VIN. This means cylinder de-activation is not included in these models with 2.5NA. This is the only version I would get if I needed a new CX-5.

You are right. Usually for new cars they give great offers if you have really good credit. On used vehicles I am not sure if they offer such great deals on financing. In any case I bought my '16 Mazda CX-5 sport a few years back at a Ford dealership. They were offering me their used car...

Just use any credit union for car financing. I avoid the dealership financing.

It's just better to use the NGK version of the spark plugs. Advanced Auto online will price match Rockauto and then just pick them up at the store. I have the NGK ILKAR711 plugs in my '16 CX-5 and so far, no problems after 11k miles.

Realistically, the car is driven about 10k a year, so technically I can probably use the air filter for another six months after the 3 years.

Well, I think the dealer wants to make quick profit and probably charge me like $60 to change an air filter. I follow the 36-month schedule and will replace it with the Mazda branded filter. So, let's say I only drive about 20k during the 36 months. Can I change the air filter a year later or...

I didn't bother to even ask for the price. I always do it myself and the car is not driven on dusty roads. Normally I just wait till 30k to replace the filter and always use the Mazda branded filter. Also, replace the Cabin filter myself as well. Pretty easy to do.

I just took our '16 CX-5 to the dealer for an oil change at around 86k, and they suggested I replace the air filter. So, I had changed it around 70k. I believe these Mazda air filters are good for about 30k?

I just got the Michelin X Tour A/S installed on 2016 CX-5 sport at Costco and they are very nice. So, took it to BJ's because they do alignments and Costco does not. The guy put it on the machine and showed me the report that I don't need an alignment. Usually, I get the alignment when I get...

I can talk to a mazda dealership about this.

So, did a quick chat with Mazda online. Here's what they just told me: " The Factory Warranties are listed below. These Warranties stay with the vehicle and there is no need to transfer this to another owner. Basic: 36,000 miles or 6/3/24 Safety: 60,000 miles or 6/3/26 Perforation: Unlimited...

The new car warranty expires on June 4th but my brother is the second owner of the vehicle and bought it at a Honda dealership in March of this year.. Not sure if this makes a difference. The first owners according to Carfax bought the vehicle at a Mazda dealership. They probably traded it in...

Then is there anyway to check if the previous owner of the mazda had a Mazda extended warranty? It seems they can be transferred?
