    2018 Mazda CX-5 Various Electrical Issues

    It might be something unusual, critters are a possiblity, as this is the time of year they plan invasions. Maybe a bad ground somewhere important, as all of the codes refer to various communication modules. Do you drive through deep water on the way to work?

    Change spark plugs strictly by mileage?

    Are you having any driveability issues? Do you drive a lot of short trips and idle the engine a lot? If you idle the engine a lot you might be fouling the plugs without logging miles, so there is that to consider. If you drive the car about 80mph on the highway for several hours it can help...

    From the Sith (VW) to the Jedi (Mazda). Insights Welcome

    Some people don't like the CX-50 as much as the CX-5 because of the body style, I guess. I would go with Miata and keep the alltrack.

    Aftermarket fuel injectors ok? 2016 CX-5

    Is contamination what causes the O2 sensors to fail? They can last a long time, maybe 100k miles, maybe more sometimes.

    AC, Fuse and Cooling Fan issues?

    Does the fan motor turn freely? I'm not sure if relays blow fuses, but a bad motor definitely could blow a fuse.

    2021 CX-5 Passenger Window Switch Replacement

    I think there is a screw in the armrest under a trim piece. I've never replaced the window switch but I think it is accessible when you get everything apart. Breaking clips when you pop them out seems to be completely normal, I broke a few when I was installing sound deadening in the doors.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    I always fill the tank with the non ethanol when I get the chance, I guess it is solely for the increased range. I'm sure I would prefer non-ethanol for the same price as the E10. Supposedly the price of ethanol is lower than gasoline, so it makes sense that the E10 is cheaper. But why do they...

    A Look Inside the Body of an Off-Duty Oil Filter

    Both of the filters looked very clean, even under the microscope. I agree that it looks like the Mazda filter might have better flow as not only the element has more area but the media is much more 'open' .

    2013 CX-5 Fan Running After Engine Turned Off

    The water pump pushed the hot water out of the engine into the radiator. Sometimes it's a good idea to run the engine to circulate the coolant until it's cooled down a bit.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    The times I have checked the computer MPG it was lower than the actual calculated, but I've only done the calculations a few times. I think it was 2-3mpg difference.
