    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    Unfortunately, that's all I can see with those comments. There are no additional details provided by CR. There is like one mention of "Cylinder Head". I am accessing the information using my library account.

    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    I guess I'll have to wait for a quite a few years before I look at Mazda again. The 2016 CX-5 is at 85k and planning to keep it running for another few years. My Corolla, even after the paint has faded off, mechanically it's quite good with the exception of the VVTi rattle that Toyota is...

    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    I just hope Mazda learns from this experience and does something for its loyal owners. I have always been a Toyota owner and bought our first Mazda cx-5 sport back in 2016 after reading reviews. It was our first SUV and it's my wife's daily driver. We love the CX-5 and it our vehicle for long...

    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    Mazda, I believe only sells their extended warranties if you by the car as certified CPO at a Mazda dealer. Is it possible to buy their extended warranty if the Mazda is purchased at a non-Mazda dealer? I imagine you would have to purchase an aftermarket warranty.

    2.5L NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil Leaking

    I have a 2016 cx-5 sport with the 2.5L engine with 85k miles and it has been quite reliable. My brother was looking for a car a few months back and based on our experience with the 2016 CX-5 and Consumer Reports reliability ratings I saw that the 2021 model year was quite reliable. I found a...

    Cracked Engine Block (2018 CX-5)

    Thanks for the information. So, on the 2021 CX-5 sport if the car is only driven about 5k a year, how often does the oil have to be changed? 6 months or 1 year?

    Cracked Engine Block (2018 CX-5)

    My 2016 has the Skyactiv 2.5L. The 2021 Sport that my brother just bought has the 2.5L also. He has about 19k on car. He probably won't drive it a whole lot since he works from home a few days of the week. Do you see a oil leak or consumption with this issue?

    Cracked Engine Block (2018 CX-5)

    From what I have read online it seems to affect mostly the turbo engines? At least that what I thought I saw on a TSB.

    Car Issues After Low Battery From Sitting A While (2016 CX-5)

    I believe the Costco Interstate battery that I had was a replacement warrantied one that they gave me after the original one failed during the 36 month warranty period. So, the original one lasted me almost three years. So, per Costco the replacement battery does not have a warranty. The...

    Car Issues After Low Battery From Sitting A While (2016 CX-5)

    I had weird issues with my Costco interstate battery that was out of warranty on my 2016 cx-5 sport. Thought my key fob batteries were the issues, but even after changing the key fob batteries, the car would have a difficult time starting. Then after a little bit it would start. Then one...

    What about the 2021 Cx-5 sport with the 2.5 ?

    Cracked Engine Block (2018 CX-5)

    Is this issue with the regular 2.5 engine or turbo engine? Our 2016 Cx-5 sport with the skyactiv 2.5 engine just hit 85k and has been quite reliable. My brother just bought a used 2021 CX-5 sport with the same 2.5 skyactiv engine with around 19k and hopefully that will be as reliable.

    Mazda Air Filter - OEM versus Aftermarket

    I believe I bought the Denso air filter from Rock Auto. I know Denso is very good because they are the OEM for Toyota. My 2010 Corolla uses Denso Plugs. Also, I believe they make the Air Filter for Toyota. On my Corolla I have used the Toyota branded air filter and also the one that Denso...
