    Sharing: VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE (Brake Fluid)

    @CX5_Driver : Thanks. I am just giving my experience and some data by the manufacturer. Seems data supports the fact that it has low viscosity and at the same time high boiling point in comparison to most in the market today. I did have another link - can't find it in a pinch, this however comes...

    Sharing: VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE (Brake Fluid)

    Yes - had Valvoline, same as yours. But this seems to be better. Of course, its debatable since my foot got used to the mushiness. Its viscosity and temp ratings are higher than most. BTOG also stated its really good. That's why shared. For reference, The Bosch fluid is 518 dry, 365 wet, visc 670

    Service manager comment - need inputs on brake lines

    I spoke to him and he completely agrees. 2 points (I showed him this thread). He said 100% correct. Only thing he mentioned was he was forced to review the condition of brake lines AFTER he changed brake fluid but still found not good (braking). That is when he is seeing vehicles CX5 2014 and...

    Finding some engine oil under vehicle when very cold

    Very very little. I'd say around 2 tablespoons. BUT: It happens every time I leave the car for +2 days (+48 hrs). 1 more thing: I have the car in the same spot always. This never happened till now. I'd say started from around last week of December.

    This is really good. My hunch seems correct. Here are 2 links for TSBs on this: https://www.carcomplaints.com/Mazda/CX-5/2016/tsbs/tsb-09-015-20-3698.shtml https://www.carcomplaints.com/Mazda/CX-5/2016/tsbs/tsb-09-015-20-3698b.shtml

    Are TSBs covered by Mazda if vehicle is outside of warranty?

    I have the list of TSBs applicable for my CX-5 2016 and find some of them may be applicable for me. If I take it to the dealership and mention the issue and assuming they find the TSB will they (Mazda) cover the issue? Or should I even give them the TSB #?

    Service manager comment - need inputs on brake lines

    Metal or braided type - as per my SA has its own issues. He said even top end performance cars like Porche, Massarati, etc. are using rubber hoses. The issue is flexibility and metal/braided lines tend to last less and fail at the fittings' end ; unless some really high-end lines which has...

    Service manager comment - need inputs on brake lines

    As I mentioned in some threads the service manager for Mazda happens to know be a close acquaintance of mine.

    Driver side mirror assembly question

    My driver side mirror assembly got hit and basically warrants a replacement. The good news is the mirror is intact. It has heated option, signal and has blind monitor. Everything still functions including the motor but the plastic housing broke and the bottom part clipped off and broke. Now I...

    Getting worse - Infotainment restarts multiple times/sluggish when cold

    Can I clone a new not yet locked to any vehicle SD card containing N.A. maps (I bought one from ebay) or I must first lock it to my vehicle (+65 miles, etc.) and then only will be able to clone it? Just bought a BHP1 66 EZ1N from by Mazda service guy for 45 USD. He said that's the latest there...
