It is nuts that putting in a new battery messes things up on newer cars. My 2018 is due for a new battery, this reminds me to use the memory saver when I do it.

Unfortunately I don't know anyone who is a Costco member. I see that there are people selling Costco shop gift cards on ebay but they mark them up too high.

Welp my battery is cranking slower in the morning so I best buy a new battery. I see that the Walmart EverStart Maxx Lead Acid Automotive Battery, Group Size 35 12 Volt, 640 CCA is $139.84. Is this still the best price for a group 35, 640 CCA battery?

It is probably just advertising, but the cheaper cheap oil shows it is only 2 stars on the back, and the 'Advanced' shows 4 stars on the back. It makes one think the cheaper cheap oil isn't good. Look at the back of each of these Super Tech oil jugs: Cheaper cheap oil Cheap Oil

I checked my pockets after I changed it and didn't find any money😉 :)

I am going to switch from Castrol to Pennzoil. Today I see that Pennzoil is $23.78 at Walmart. Castrol has gotten expensive. Pennzoil

My OEM battery is now 5 years old. It seems fine but I thought I would check out the battery thread. It doesn't look very hard to change the battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uin8ssvUusw

Mazda will say there's nothing wrong with that filter. If there is a ''louver' there is a hole. Each row bends in opposite direction.

Only time will tell. And it is true that the more complex something is made, there is more that can go wrong. Thus far I think my engine is reliable, but if it does crap out I would denounce CD like yrwei52 does. I denounce turbos because I had one that went bad, and I think all of them will...

I live in NJ. It is an expensive state. $860 sounds about right for all 4 and replacing the fluid.

If I have an engine problem I will certainly post it here. I have a 2018 first year model with CD. I have low mileage though.

Rental companies have Mazda's with CD in their fleets. They would be the ones to find any issues, with all different people driving the cars hard and putting on a lot of miles.

I had the whooping sound and it self resolved when water poured out of the AC system, there was a small puddle of water under my car on a humid day. That was a while ago.

Careful. She might want a divorce for making her sell her CX5 :)

I don't think so. But don't worry about it, the 'bad' pumps rarely failed in the cars that had bad pumps. If you are not included in the recall you have a good pump that will outlast the vehicle.

You can try rubbing compound.

How many on this forum have the NA with CD? Maybe there aren't enough of us to have a good sampling. I drive a lot less so it will be a while before wear shows CD related damage.

The mufflerless CX-5 sounds horrible!

I use my phone for navigating and voice commands through the car's speakers, and have the larger Mazda nav screen to see the roads. It works good that way.

Wow. There isn't even an excess amount of corrosion.
