Well, my 4 year old got a little too excited playing with sidewalk chalk and a rock she had picked up off the ground a few days ago. She scratched up a small area just below the front passenger door handle. I pulled out the polisher and an aggressive foam pad, along with Meguiar's Ultimate...

Thanks for the correction, I edited my post above.

There is a dipstick, but it can be hard to access. The hole for the dipstick is also the fill hole, but because of the location, you'd need a very long funnel or two to pour the ATF without spilling it everywhere.

I'm not familiar with the 2013 CX-5, but on my 2018 CX-9 there's a floor vent under the driver's side seat. I've found small toys, stuffed animals, candy containers, etc. wedged in that area. Maybe the keys found their way in there.

The ADD/HUD is definitely something that I have come to appreciate quite a bit. Smart keyless entry is a must-have for me. It's so nice to be able to leave my keys in my pocket and not have to worry about leaving my keys in the car, scratching up my door handle with house keys, or rooting...

Just adding my experience with my own car. I don't have a scan tool either, so what I did was get the fluid circulating and up to temp. Remove the drain plug and let the fluid drain into a clean container for about 15 mins. Then I left the fluid to cool down to ambient temp, with the new fluid...

Please follow the directions on the first page of this thread. It's important to note that there is a callout in that first post to please exercise patience and understanding while waiting for a response from @Candurin. Remember that this assistance and the files are all being provided for free...

I would take it to a mechanic. If the exhaust manifold is what's leaking, then you or the mechanic will need to figure out where it's leaking (engine side or exhaust side, or both) and get the required parts. That should fix the issue at the exhaust manifold, but may not fix other issues you...

If possible I would recommend bringing an RFID box to keep your keyfob in. I think that keeping the keyfob within a close proximity to the car will keep the proximity sensors on the car active (same sensors used for the smart keyless entry). This can prevent the car from "going to sleep" and...

Sorry to hear of your experience @scaleautoworks. Hopefully your dealer can salvage this.

Any competent mechanic should be able to do that for you. You can get the gasket/sealant and the new pan (if needed) from the dealership, along with the replacement ATF.

I'd recommend sticking with warranty offered by Mazda only. I believe Toyota Financial Services now handles Mazda's warranty sales, and yes you should be able to buy the warranty online or over the phone via any Mazda dealer in your country. The standard inline-6 is a good motor, it's just a...

Congratulations! Hope you and your family are doing well!

Most people who service their transmissions regularly do it at 30k-50k mi intervals, and they'll typically drop the pan the first time so that they can replace the transmission fluid filter as well, since the filter would have caught any of the metal wear from the initial break-in of the car...

Damn, looks like someone will be getting a great deal on quality coilovers soon lol. I would have loved to snap these up, but after installing springs, I'm actually pretty happy with the ride height now.

Nice! I used to have my plate mounted there too for a while. Had to find a different solution when I was removing the plate to take off the front bumper. The screw that holds the plate holder onto the threaded rod that screws into the frame, stripped off. I decided not to buy another rho-plate...

Exterior-wise, I like almost everything. Rear looks especially good, minus the decision to replace the Mazda emblem. I really like the lower trim treatment on the doors, nice little callback to the original Kodo design of the 1st gen CX-5. I don't like the little "tabs" on the top of the fender...

I figured I might as well submit my official application. 1. The dashcams would be installed on my 2018 Mazda CX-9 Signature, which currently has a Viofo A129 Duo dual camera setup installed. 2. My testing experience is fairly broad, with experience testing car products (maintenance, cosmetic...
