    Scissor jack not fitting properly to lift vehicle, doesn't match illustrations? (2016 CX-5 GT)

    I haven’t seen one that deep. If you find one, please post a link. If you can find a tall block, maybe you can cut a deep groove into it. my Quickjack came with big blocks. Suppose a 1” deep groove could be cut into them

    Scissor jack not fitting properly to lift vehicle, doesn't match illustrations? (2016 CX-5 GT)

    Sorry, not following your point. The block has a groove that the pinch weld goes into. Are you suggesting you want a block that fits into the groove that is deep enough where the sides come in contact with actual frame? I’ve been using the blocks I linked to for quite a while with no issues.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Tire rotation and oil change on my 2018 sport using my 5000tlx Quickjack! Love that thing.

    2018 CX-5 Rear arch trim replacement?

    Anyone remove and replace the driver side rear wheel arch trim on a 2018 cx5? I think 2017/19 are the same. I have a couple of fasteners that broke off it and so it needs to be replaced. There is what appears to be a latch around the top of the trim, not sure yet how that is removed. I’m...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Coolant questions

    2017~2025 CX-5 Coolant questions

    You want to use Asian green fluid, you can buy at Walmart or other parts stores.. Just because you are below L does not mean you have a leak. Over time, fluid evaporates. Fill it half way between L and H and monitor it...

    Radar detector in the CX-5?

    In my 2019 there is an outlet in front of the shifter in that little storage area. Unswitched. btw, radar in a cx5 is a nightmare with constant falsing. The only detector that I’ve found to be good at filtering is the uniden r7. At a minI I’m, you need a detector that allows for a lot of...

    Is 30,000 miles on a 2020 CX-5 too high?

    You’ll likely need tires if they are still on stock.

    Which tire would you choose?

    Op, why are those your only choices? I wouldn’t choose any of them. I’d look for pirelli, Michelin or continental. check walmart. I also would replace two at a time, both front or both rear. if you are on stock tires, they are likely almost shot by now. Too much tread difference between tires...

    ATF...Change or not?

    Why would you do maintenance faster than Mazda suggests? i trust Mazda engineers know what they are doing, which is why I bought a Mazda in the first place. I have not read about widespread failures to engines or the power train on Mazda vehicles, is there evidence otherwise? I follow the...

    CX-5 Console USB Port issue

    Reviving this thread as my usb doesnt really work. I have carplay/aa, which works fine, but the other port is terrible. We plug in our phones and can see on the screen that it’s constantly connecting and disconnecting. We’ve tried multiple cables, including an Apple cable, but same results...
