    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    The 22 has almost 71k on it now. I changed the plugs on the 2018 a few weeks before I traded it in. Those A-premium plugs worked just fine with the CX-9 and the JB4. It was only a few weeks of driving, but its good to see another decent budget alternative to the Mazda OEM plugs.

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    Yup I'll keep you posted. In the meantime you can also keep an eye on the Buy/Sell section of the forum, if you haven't already been watching it.

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    I believe that's only for the 2021+ Mazda3 and the CX-30, and the 2023+ CX-50. But for the Mazda6, CX-5 and CX-9, they still use the V1.

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    Yep I still have it. I'll keep you posted if I decide to sell it, but for now I think I'm going to install it on the 2022.

    Horrible gas mileage in brand new CX-5

    I have, and I don't think its worth it for the mileage increase alone. With the 2.5T, it's worth it if you can take advantage of the other benefits it provides, like the increased performance at higher RPMs or if you have something like a JB4 piggyback tuner. With the N/A engine I would just...

    Mike's 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition

    Sure thing, I'll keep you updated. I haven't driven on all-seasons through winter for like 10 years, so I should be able to get a good idea of how much winter tires can improve things.

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    No, I left them on. When I stopped by the dealership, they offered me a trade-in based on how the car presented at the time. It felt wrong to remove things after we had already agreed to a deal. Thankfully I had already changed the CorkSport intake out to the OEM one for winter, so that's going...

    Mike's 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition

    Over the weekend, I traded in my slightly older CX-9 for this one, a black 2022 Kuro with red interior and almost 71k kms. On a whim, I decided to stop by a dealer to check out a black 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition. I've been keeping an eye on used inventory lately just to see if a good deal comes...

    Mike's 2018 CX-9 Signature

    Sooo I did something.. on Friday, I met with a dealer and agreed to trade in my 2018 CX-9 to get a 2022 CX-9 lol. It was good times with the 2018. I learned a lot of things along the way, and I'll miss it dearly - especially the machine grey metallic paint. The nappa leather interior and...

    CX-5 Transmission: Drain and fill vs flush vs oil pan drop drain/fill?

    It's a safe assumption, but something you'd want to clarify with the dealer first. Just tell them you heard that a special adapter is needed to flush the transmission and ask if they have it.
