As I posted in a different thread on here, I just purchased these same plugs last week from Amazon. Identical to A, B, C & D above. The resistance readings on mine were all within spec. I went one step further and contacted Niterra North America. After I sent them pics of the plugs and the code...

Installed them today. Pic is of the NGKs I took out with 74,715 miles on them. 30 minute job. Engine runs fine. If you are going to do your own plugs, I highly recommend using a spark plug socket like this one. It has internal clips to hold the plug securely, makes the job so much easier and...

Actually, I just made sure that it was Amazon as the seller. Both times I ordered I got genuine NGK. Here's the link to what I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P179CW4/

I received my plugs from Amazon. A visual inspection (per the numerous videos online) made them appear to be genuine. Then I did the resistance test as specified in this video and they passed (values were 5.22, 5.46, 5.94 and 6.24). And finally, I reached out to Niterra North America. I got a...

Oh I definitely will. I did check the ones I got in 2018 and they were legit, so I'm hoping the supplier is still selling the legit ones. If not, back they go. And by the way, this video is excellent on how to spot the difference. https://youtu.be/vpH4O14EBxA?si=GoD4I6SelELwiaEu

I just bought 4 of the NGK plugs (94124 - ILKAR7L11) for $38.88 on Amazon (they arrive today). It's the same supplier I bought my last set from in 2018. I installed those at 66K miles and I now have 135K miles on my CX-5, so time for another change. The NGK plugs have performed flawlessly.

As search on here about mufflers pretty much comes up with just folks wanting to change theirs out for performance gains. My question instead is has anyone had to replace their muffler because it was failing? Mine seems louder than it used to be, but it doesn't leak or anything, it's just a bit...

It is an involved locksmith process if you only have one fob. If you have 2 fobs, you can program a 3rd one by yourself (procedure in the owner's manual) and just have the emergency key cut at a hardware store. So when I lost one of my fobs (2014 CX-5), I bought 2 replacements online and had the...

Chuckling at all the above comments as I'm in somewhat the same boat - I turn 70 next month. Last month, with great effort as usual, I swapped out my Blizzak DM-V2 snow tires for my summer Michelin Sport Pilot 4 A/S tires. I always wash and wax the tires/wheels that I take off before I store...

Love my DM-V2s. 3 years and 15K miles on them and they still look and feel new. Getting ready to put them back on again soon.

Can you post a link to that video please? Thanks.

Finally received these a few days ago and put them on today. They are a pretty thick vinyl and are very well made. The entire back is a strong adhesive, they are easy to place and conform nicely to the curves in the plastic. Hopefully they will hold up long term. Front Rear

Thanks!

Just to throw in my 2¢. If you are doing the work yourself, be sure and buy the OEM water pump belt and not some other aftermarket brand. When I replaced mine I could not get the aftermarket Gates belt on no matter what I tried while others on here who got the OEM had no problem installing...

No, he didn't. Since I have 2 sets of wheels (these original 19" for the summer, and an OEM 17" new-car-takeoff set that I bought shortly after I got my CX-5 for my winter tires), I thoroughly clean and wax each set when I take them off and before I store them in the rack I made in my garage...

I just ordered a set of these carbon fiber look door sill protectors from colorfulcar dot com. They are peel and stick. They look pretty good, but we'll see when they get here. Cheap enough to ditch 'em if I don't like them. I just ordered the 4 piece set to cover the inner plastic sill since I...
