You guys have me ready to turn off my TCS to see if I get the same results on my next rides. Mine gets good mpg as is, I will see if I notice a difference.

I see that some Castrol oils are on sale at Walmart: Castrol Edge Extended Performance Castrol Edge 0W-20 Advanced Full Synthetic

Anyhoo, so the rotors rusted out on all 4 corners at 6,100 miles. The Mazda service center confirmed that it was indeed dangerous and needed to be replaced Is your car parked outside? I think it has to be a manufacturing defect, I never heard of rotors rusting out by 6,100 miles to the point of...

So your tensioner lasted about 64,000 miles. Right?

Starfish did you find any warranty work? Mine is about to expire, I was thinking the same thing, I would hate to miss out on a repair that should have been covered under the 3 year warranty. I guess I don't have anything to get fixed. 3 years goes by fast. I didn't put enough miles on to get the...

Wasn't there a Wheels and Brakes section where people talked about wheels and brakes? Anyway, I rotated my tires and my back brakes look to have 25% left on them, and my front brakes look to have 80% left on them. Is this typical?

Make sure you are reading the dipstick correctly. It is easiest to read first thing in the morning.

I randomly picked one of the old Odd Rod trading cards from the internet, for the picture. As a kid I loved Odd Rod bubble gum cards. I was being a little sarcastic because a CX-5 is meant to be quiet and refined for sophisticated gentlemen and people want to make it louder and faster and some...

People wear gloves so they don't get their hands dirty.

Has anyone dropped a V8 Hemi into their CX-5?

I guess they will reuse the valves and timing chain and everything else, and install them into the new cylinder head and you will have an almost like new engine. You will have to drive it easy at first as it breaks in.

Fantastic pictures. That job is like a million dollars lol. I guess pulling it apart is cheaper than putting in a new engine. Maybe there is a shortage of engines, who knows. The carbon build up doesn't look bad, and your engine is nice and clean.

I agree, me saying head gasket blown isn't accurate. I don't feel concerned about longevity, probably because it hasn't happened to me yet. I checked my filter from the last change, there were a few micro particles of metal in the filter so my car isn't fully broken in yet...

And with so little driving because of C-19, the warranty will be long expired when the engine blows and we will be stuck with a huge bill. Has anyone else with a non-diesel had their head gasket blow?

I looked at 303 cleaner and it says: '303 Automotive Interior Cleaner is safe and effective on: vinyl, plastic, rubber, leather, fabrics/upholstery, carpets, glass, and even LCD screens.'. I'm surprised that it stains plexiglass. Good to know.

What depth of fresh water can we drive our CX-5 in slowly, without having to do any service? I was thinking 10" but after reading the posts it might be more like 3". Watching cars drive through the floodwater on TV today made me curious.

I would think they would fix it for free. I am curious if they will end up replacing the entire instrument cluster.

They probably changed the scissor jack and have it touch the body above the pinch weld because they suck so bad. If the car is not perfectly level or not on hard ground the scissor jack is easy to fall over and drop the car. I think the man who got crushed to death trying to steal a CC used a...
