    Hood latch broken (2018 CX-9 GT)

    Hey guys. My 2018 CX9 GT has a broken hood latch. Went to check the oil etc the other day and when I pulled on it, I heard the spring recoil and the latch has no play. The hood is still in the lock or closed position, can't get my finger in. I didn't want to start jamming a screw driver into...

    2016~2023 CX-9 41K spark plug change, found NGK plugs in the wild

    Really easy to cross thread as the angle is a bit tough, even using your fingers to start. Not sure how others managed this but if it doesn't go in right away, walk away from it for a half hour and regroup -- worth it to be patient with the thing. No issues on my McGiver'd 4th plug housing so...

    Long Term Review - PowerStop Z17 Evolution Plus Ceramic Brake pads - 2nd Gen CX-9

    Right!?! They were serviced by the dealer, I think they swapped them around and re greased etc to get extra life out of it. Didn't think it was that bad until I started hearing the metal pins rubbing..

    Long Term Review - PowerStop Z17 Evolution Plus Ceramic Brake pads - 2nd Gen CX-9

The fronts were also completely done!! I recommend the Z23s. It has more bite, less brake dust and a...

    2016~2023 CX-9 41K spark plug change, found NGK plugs in the wild

    It's a great write up, though I assume your intent was to imply sass than anything else. To be clear, the bolt broke off before it was 1/4 way in, likely was broken but left for me to find as I had no torque using a 4 inch 🔧. Meh. The plastic housing that's holding the nut on the valve cover...

    Thanks guys! You know, you take your time and sometimes sh*t still gets greasy... But, live and learn. I'll post more pictures of the fix when I source that tap. For now, I'll drive it around with a few additional tools on hand in the event it slips out.

    So I need a lil help plz! 2018 CX9 GT-- original owner with 127k kms. I just sourced NGK Iridium plugs, the same mentioned here by the OP. Looked at a few videos and write ups and decided to take on the job. The change itself is easy except for the problem that I ran into. The plug on the far...

    Dangggg... Consider yourself lucky! 91 is the highest octane in Canada from Costco (from what I've seen thus far)
