    Skyactiv Transmission Fluid Analysis Thread

    I think the lifetime fluid is fine. That said, we all fantasize about making it to half a million miles, and changing fluid isnt bad, if done early and regularly. This is why I try to buy vehicles with drain and fill capable transmissions, and it was a selling point for my RDX.

    CX-60 PHEV reveal on March 8th

    Yes, but a turbo cx5 is 3800#. How much will a 2.5L + battery pack tweener weigh? Im guessing 4500-4700.

    CX-60 PHEV reveal on March 8th

    This is a CX9 sized vehicle. I am frustrated by this. I wanted a 300bhp CX5, not a 300bhp CX9.

    CrossClimate2 10,000mi review

    Toyos suck, man. They really do. I recommend just getting CC2's if this doesn't keep them fixed.

    You're not wrong, they both posted total trash timeslips. That said, the Acura ran in the same conditions... I have a friend who is my roommate and he has a new sti. Stock it was trash. Cobb stage 2 and an intake and it woke up. That said, the RDX I drove made me smile, and there are plenty...

    CX-60 PHEV reveal on March 8th

    Me, too, but when I figured out the cx90 and cx70 were to be on the same chassis, that hope kindof evaporated. Think more MDX, the way its looking, imo. I was hoping for the same as you.

    2019 CX-5 Folding side mirror when locking; LS stopped fully folding. Tips?

    Own the vehicle for a few years. Seriously though, Switch the ignition ON. If the power window lock switch is in the unlock position, switch it to the lock position. Press and hold the front passenger's power window switch and rear left/right power window switches on the driver's door at...

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Having had LX25 and CC2 and Altimax RT43, the CC2 is the better tire, followed by LX25.

    Off Topic So slow I'm ashamed...

    I have an indoor pet. Also, I leave my PC on. Fans and cpus with heat sync units will clog. I had to do surgery on my amd phenom 2 after 7 years. Now it works fine, no overheating, but the sync was fully clogged.

    I didn't have one, I had a cx5. So I did post and do this. I brought the cold weather issue to light. I also pondered the 6.8 second 0-60's I kept getting. All documented on here. Why did car and driver get 5.8 to 60 and I got 6.8 to 60? Why indeed. Regardless, I have not smiled as much after...

    CX-60 PHEV reveal on March 8th

    From what I understand, the CX60 is on the CX70/90 chassis, so this will be as big as a CX9, just without the 3rd row seating installed. There are 2 platforms, 3 SUV's (CX50 as a 2-row, and CX60-90 as 3-row configurable). While the CX5 continues on as the 2-row platform along side the new CX50...

    I love my liquid cooled PC. I bought it in 2017, and it's been issue-free until today, minus a failed PSU bearing (nothing to do with the liquid cooling). While I would be monumentally butthurt if it took a dump today, but I can't say I haven't gotten my money's worth in near silent, efficient...

    Here is another video that makes me seriously question the data from C&D/Motortrend "in the real world". We can argue about the launch on that STI all day, but it doesn't start to pull on that RDX until the top of 3rd gear. My roommate right now actually has an STI (2019), and the car is damn...

    2019 CX-5 Folding side mirror when locking; LS stopped fully folding. Tips?

    I had many failures with these. Always when it was hot out, and often during road trips. Dealer will fix.

    Zf8, you're correct. Their Q5 base does use dct and I forgot.

    My temporary roommate's wife has a q5. An audi is not a Mazda. You'll spend more in 1 service visit routine for Audi than an entire year on a Mazda. The DCT also needs servicing, etc. They are very dissimilar cars. The RDX is much more like the Mazda. The Audi needs either a dealer, or a good...

    Yes. No Audi dealer local. Maintenance is also much more a pain.

    I drove a 2019 and experienced none of these issues. The data doesn't lie, but there's more to it going on. The car felt strong. I do not know how to reconcile the data vs what I felt driving it, but it was significantly more fun than my cx5 was. Especially the corners. Regarding acceleration...

    Winter is here and my CX-5 Turbo is now a 2.0L!

    That's annoying, but I hope you're squared away.
