    '16 CX-5 Sport 2.5L Drive Belt tensioner is leaking

    I saw on RockAuto they have a Gates and ACDelco belt tensioner for $67 max.. I believe both of them provide lifetime warranty on the part. I was thinking of going with an AC Delco part.. Do you guys recommend using either brand?

    '16 CX-5 Sport 2.5L Drive Belt tensioner is leaking

    I took my 2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L to the dealer for an oil change and the dealer is telling me that the Drive Belt Tensioner is leaking. The vehicle has about 51,700 miles on it. The part is about $150 and another $170 in labor to install it. They said the belt is fine. Anyone has had this...

    Costco Interstate battery test

    The one thing I noticed was that when I turn off the Cx-5 and lock it with the key fob, I see the security light flashing on the dashboard every few seconds. I imagine this must drain the battery somewhat overnight when it is parked. Also, during the day time when it is parked.

    Costco Interstate battery test

    So I emailed Interstate battery support and they replied stating that the new battery should test at 550 CCA. They said it could be possibly defective and advised me to take it to an authorized interstate distributor in my area to get it tested. I'll probably take it to Advanced Auto parts...

    '16 CX-5 sport battery

    I bought the OE heat shield from the dealer and took it to Walmart. They were able to install it around the Costco Interstate group 35 battery.

    Costco Interstate battery test

    I just got Walmart to install my new costco interstate battery (35-3) on my '16 CX-5 sport. For some reason they did a quick test on the battery.. Apparently according to their diagnosis its showing 402 CCA out of the 550 CCA its rated for. I just got the battery last week, how can it drop so...

    '16 CX-5 sport battery

    So I managed to get Walmart to put on a new replacement battery cover for the interstate battery. They also re-imbursed me for the cover they had originally not put on.. They did a battery check on the new interstate battery that I had bought from Costco & installed at Walmart, and they said...

    '16 CX-5 sport battery

    So when you installed the Costco Interstate battery, did the heat shield fit on properly on the new battery? I assume you got the Group 35/Fitment 3 Interstate battery from Costco? How do you like the battery?

    Sorry but I had to be in the office for an important meeting. I hope you can trust service places to do the work properly.

    '16 CX-5 sport battery

    Costco does not install batteries. They just sell them.. It's up to you to install it yourself or find a place that does installations, such as Walmart. If for some reason they could not put the sleeve on they should have told me and given me the sleeve instead of discarding it. I suspect the...

    So I went to Walmart last week and got my original battery on my cx-5 sport replaced with an Interstate 35-3 battery I bought from Costco. I opened up the hood today to find out that they did not put the heat shield back while installing the new battery. I called the store and they said maybe...

    Battery Suggestions

    So my '16 CX-5 sport needs a new battery per my dealer. The car has a start/stop button. Does the vehicle need a special battery from Mazda, or can I just go to Costco and get the Interstate Group 35 battery? Would the Interstate battery work? On Costco's site it says it's compatible.

    2016 Cx-5 sport oil change interval 5000 miles or 10,000 miles?

    I have a '16 CX-5 sport and live in South Florida. The dealer recommends oil changes at 5000 miles instead of 7,500 or 10,000 miles. Aren't oil changes supposed to be at least at 7500 miles with synthetic oil? Drive about 10,000 miles in a year. I know Toyota recommends oil changes on their...
