What kind of tread is that and what are you using them for? "..going to the sun road in GNP." does not compute!

How would anyone know that?

By .283 qt maybe.

Not sure how metric vs US standard enters into this (5 qt is more than the 4.8 qt required), but I do know that putting the entire 5 qts into the sump will not quite bring it to full on the dip stick.

If your 2.5 ltr is like every other SkyActiv on the planet, he should be putting the entire 5 qts in as 4.5 qts just doesn't get it.

So far I've been kind of amazed at my dealer's behavior with regard to oil changes. I have the NA engine in my '23 CX-5 and when it came time for the first (free) service they agreed to use Mazda hi-moly synthetic oil, which I have always used in all my Mazdas with SkyActiv engines (3 to date)...

OP: From the looks of that video and your description, your car must have ECU codes coming out the ying-yang. Has anyone checked that yet?!

I’m sure someone here knows what you’re talking about.

Keep in mind that the US is not a monolithic market for gas or anything else. Here in Calif. we get to pay about $1.50/gal more than the rest of the country due to sky high taxes and regulatory issues.

Yes; but too quickly. Did you read #10 above?

Oh right; my bad! o_O

Just putting it in drive won't release the brake on my 3. When you apply throttle it feels like the forward thrust "overcomes" the holding power of the e-brake.

Wow! I'm going to have to try that on my wife's CX-5 (which I don't drive that much) because on my '18 Mazda 3, the electric E-brake will release itself when the trans is put in drive and gas applied. I'm surprised it's not the same in the later CX-5s?!

My experience with the Mazda 3 2.5 ltr, book-ended by two CX-5s (a 2013 2.0 ltr and 2023 2.5 ltr) has been a lesson in power to weight ratios. In 2012, when the CX-5 was introduced) all that was offered in the US was the 2.0 and the car was criticized for being somewhat under-powered. I found...

The Soul Red Crystal Metallic on your CX-5 is the same as that of your CX-30. The original Soul Red Metallic was discontinued prior to the CX-30 intro.

I would have checked first with a tire gauge to see which one was low (unless you got a sense of that when you topped them up) so you could then figure out why (unless, of course, it was a false alarm, which these systems are prone to).

That may or may not be true, but you offer nothing by way of substantiating your assertion.

Well if it doesn't work out, here's one currently running on eBay that you might be able to have shipped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126054996756

Wow, is that a "Brit thing" or something? I would have no problem whatsoever enlisting the help of a friendly local dealer parts guy to help me sort something like that out. Or even calling an online Mazda parts dealer. All they can say is "no", but I can't imagine them being that rude!
