I have three Mazda dealers in my area, I know lucky me. None of them charge anywhere near my guys price most are $60 not including tire rotation and for synthetic blend. my guy does synthetic blend and tire rotation for $40. On a quick note, I emailed signed up for their coupon specials from...

I’ve had more fuses blown in my 30 years of driving and all but one were at the foot location fuses. The one time it was in the engine bay (relay) was because the fuel pump wasn’t running (Nissan versa hit pot hole). Long story short, it was still a fuse in the foot well area that didn’t look...

I was not aware of Mazda upgrading the spare last I heard if you had a blow out of the front, you would have to take a rim from the rear, move it to the front and put the spare on the rear. I was referring to people daily driving 17 inch skinny rims. I’ve done it and on a front wheel drive car...

They sound great BUT. They increase the heat being pulled into the engine there by decreasing power output (especially during summer months where it will cause the engine /intercooler to heat soak sooner)…check out YouTube. There’s been many test done that proves factory air boxes with k&n...

I have a tuner on cx-5 but when it’s not on, I still put in premium fuel. I rarely use regular. I ran test and I am 100% sure there is no better gas mileage by running 87/93 or 94. When the tuner is not I still run 93. During summer months I run 93 or 94 as I drive the car hard. Plus I run, k&N...

I didn’t go all out as you’re doing. I simply replaced the Bose subwoofer sitting in the spare tire one with a JBL11” sub and JBL AMP and a 2loc pro and it hits as if I have a box back there. The base is definitely there but it’s not that hard hitting base that you can feel in your chest.

Might wanna get some mudflaps for those larger rims as they stick out there will definitely be throwing up some stones mugs and whatever else is on the road.

I agree we do need an extra gear or two, and that should easily put the CX five into the low 30s for the turbo version. Also increase the shift speed by a little. But the problem is that Mazda uses this older/proven transmission that’s been around for a while and known to be good and last a long...

I think it’s BS every 40 K miles for plug changes. Unless you’re living in a Third World country where gas is pretty bad and not controlled. In the US, we have a lot of stringent rules to ensure that gas is pretty consistent. When we pulled out my old plugs they look perfectly fine and even...

30,000 on a Mazda motor really isn’t that high. And it proves that the chances of you having the dreaded cracked head/issues with the motor or rather unlikely. If it’s CPO than 30,000 miles is still OK my last ‘19 CX five I bought in 2020 or 2021 with 38,500 miles.

Everyone needs to remember that used car market is still pretty high. When I recently totaled my Mazda. I got a check for how much I bought it for two years prior. Mine was a 19 GTR.

Try avoiding the Mazda pens as they always apply thickly, have to shake it out for like an hour to get it to the right color and consistency and it’s pretty noticeable. Pay for a service that does Dr. paint chips they can easily blend the color so it’s less obvious.

I would rather have the red strip around the bottom of the car, similar to how Subaru does some of their Forrester’s. What Mazda did as far too subtle. And for the life of me, I can’t understand why they won’t do a Mazda speed version.

Mazda is not known for putting down heavy coats of paint, which is why they tend to chip/flake so easily. I recommend getting it done ASAP. When you purchase your car just make sure to shop around and definitely do not have the dealer do it as they outsource it to their own shop that gives them...

Over the years I’ve done lots of rim and tire changes and always felt lighter rim and tire packages. Make the car faster. As people have mentioned, if you’re have the turbo model, the smallest you can do is 18 inch rims. They did test on some show on YouTube, and found 19 was the best balance...

They claim it’s lifetime fluid but I beg to disagree. 100,000 miles for normal driving and 60k miles or less for towing.

I’m more concerned with the fuses at the foot well that I use to add on for miscellaneous lights, Soundsystem, remote start, etc.

I never go to dealers for oil changes. They always charge 2 to 3 times what my normal place charges and because they put it on the Carfax. There’s the proof that Mazda requires showing oil changes were completed. Also, I like to add: Lucas Oil 10130 Pure Synthetic Oil Stabilizer - 1 Quart...

I put it on in 2020 when I bought the car (CPO)…car got totaled (few months ago) and when I went to see it it recently…still looked good. I applied 2 coats of the stuff. One bottle was adequate. Use microfiber cloths to apply...

Looks good and hopefully sounds good as well, but there’s no power to change out the muffler. Just replacing a cat back exhaust especially when you’re not replacing the catalytic converter itself with a high flow cat/cat delete. I’m debating on and exhaust cut out. They have the electric ones...
