    2016 CX-9 Fuel Filter Replacement Tips?

    Why would a bad filter cause gas to leak from the engine? Could it be something related to the reinstall of the new head?

    2016 CX-9 Armrest Replacement

    Honestly I wouldn't bother because the padding sucks on the armrest so a new one likely wouldn't help. Maybe the newer models will have improved padding? But I couldn't find the exact part number. #8...

    Cracked Cylinder Head (2018 CX-9)

    I think it's normal for the level to fluctuate. If you really are losing coolant, you'll smell it and you'll have a stream of green crust running down the block.

    Oil filter housing cross threaded? 2020 CX-9

    As other people mentioned already, The filter should spin on freely with zero resistance. If it doesn't, then something is wrong. If you force it and a thread breaks off then you'll have a bigger problem. I say leave it for now if the leak is not too bad

    CX-9 2.5T Engine Coolant Leaking TSB

    @Favre95 I can feel your frustration thru the screen. To be fair, corporate level failed you by not standing by their product and the dealership failed you with crappy work. I hope once the link to submit claims is verified, you can submit your case for a full reimbursement.

    Mazda Warranty Extensions for Cylinder Head Leaks for TSB01-002/23

    We're not in April so that's a good sign! Is it me or is the verbiage specifically for engine failure due to the coolant issue? So another word, the warranty extension is to only cover the coolant issue.

    Metallic noise front-driver side when getting in 2020 CX-5 (36k miles)

    That is definitely a doozy to track down especially it only happens once a day. It sounds metal on metal so I don't think it's bushing related. And since your damper assembly has been replaced, I'm actually stumped.

    Which oil is best for the 2.5L Non-Turbo CX-5?

    I blend Mobil 1 + Pennzoil + Costco so I get performance + quietness at a great price.
