Sooo I did something.. on Friday, I met with a dealer and agreed to trade in my 2018 CX-9 to get a 2022 CX-9 lol. It was good times with the 2018. I learned a lot of things along the way, and I'll miss it dearly - especially the machine grey metallic paint. The nappa leather interior and...

Here's a link to the CX-9 workshop manual if the helpful information posted by @Mazdiod2 isn't enough. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2016-and-up-cx-5-service-manual.123880695/#post-6797452 Click on the link for the CX-9 (TC), which is the 2016+ generation.

It's a safe assumption, but something you'd want to clarify with the dealer first. Just tell them you heard that a special adapter is needed to flush the transmission and ask if they have it.

Got it, thanks!

Checking the tire pressure is a good idea, but usually if the car isn't PDI'd correctly at the dealership, the tires would be overinflated, which would affect ride quality but also improve fuel economy. Underinflated tires decrease fuel economy. @Mike2000z28 you should also keep in mind: this...

Normal operating temp is about 90c. Right in the middle of the temp gauge.

I should note, though - a highway drive may not be a good idea with such a new car. Since the car is still in it's "break-in" period, you don't want to be cruising along at the same engine RPM for an extended period of time. Usually this means no road trips or long drives. I think a 5-10 min...

I could see this mileage being possible with short commutes and city driving. If you took the car for a 5-10 minute drive down the highway, your mileage for that drive would be much better.

That's the one

I used a polish and a small rotary polisher on my 2018 CX-9. It worked well but the scratches will just come back. Piano black suuuuucks Here's a link to my process, and a before and after pic. I recommend taping off the silver trim if you're using a machine polisher to avoid accidentally...

Washed the car a couple of days ago. I noticed the water was no longer beading up on the paint, indicating that the spray-on coating I had applied in April had failed. So, I reapplied another coat of Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. It rained the next day. :cautious:

I think it'll help. Can't hurt to try, like @Silly Wabbit said. There's really no downside outside of the short period of relearning right after the process - for me it I could barely tell the difference aside from the improved shifting.
