    What grade oil do you prefer?

    This is the video. He talks about how Mazda mandated 5W-30 in all turbo engines. They only recommend 0W-20 if it has Moly. My local Mazda dealer buys 0W-20 in bulk and its not the same thing. When I asked them about 0W-20 with Moly years ago after I bought my 2016 CX5 they had no idea what I was...

    What grade oil do you prefer?

    I know it comes with 0W-20 in USA, but I am thinking of switching to 5W-30 at the 5,000 mile oil change interval. An oil change video on YouTube by a Mazda tech on a CX90 convinced me it’s probably the correct path to go. I also used 5W-30 in my QX70 with good results. Thoughts?

    I’m back on the wagon again - CX-70 Turbo S

    Thanks @Antoine I probably won’t do many mods since it’s pretty well equipped as is. However I’ll get some lower grill inserts to match the main grill once they become available. But I installed a new dog seat cover for the pup. Trying one of these platform style ones out this time.

    CX-5 turbo detuned during break in?

    If this was even remotely a possibility, then it wouldn't be shifting at 5,000+ rpms. It would upshift long before winding the engine out.

    My dealership made an "oops"

    Our opinions are all shaped by our experiences. Ive had screwups at both dealerships and Indy shops.

    2020 due?

    Its a waste of money for auto manufacturers to create and maintain their own navigation systems when so many mobile apps are much better and more useful. Non smartphone folks can stick with their Garmins or Gazetteers.

    Yo Monty- Im sure space does have some impact on the CX9 purchase decision, but folks arent writing it off for that reason alone unless theyre pure spec sheet type people. That 2.5T is programmed perfectly for the CX9. But folks would never know unless they got behind the wheel. Id rather...

    CX9 suffers from American stupidity. Americans are ingrained to believe a 3 row crossover needs at least a 6 cylinder engine. How many 2.7T I4s Silverados is Chevy selling?

    Then its functioning as designed. Nothing random about it.

    Danged Automatic!

    At 5 mph youre probably in 2nd gear, which can suck for rapid acceleration as it will take some time for the vehicle to downshift. Id use manual mode in those situations to be safe.

    Car and Driver: Every 2019 Compact Crossover SUV Ranked from Worst to Best

    There are a ton of Subaru commercials in my area, probably because they sell well due to our messy winters. But the ads focus on safety, reliability, dogs and a slight eco-conscious mindset.

    Torque Steer

    I had an AWD first gen GSX. Then I stepped up to a 3000 GT VR4. Good times!

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Weird that the 6 doesnt experience this problem because these led drls were pretty much identical between models.

    Daytime running lights dim/flickering

    Ive seen 5 or 6 different CX5s the past few weeks with one or two failing or dead led drls. Crazy. There really should be a consistent plan to help owners out. Everyone on here is coming back with different estimates/costs.
