    Guide ATF Drain/Fill

    oh man, that's rough, agreed safety always first, I think your ramp/jack stand set up is good, I kind of like Avidien's set-up, 4 inch solid concrete blocks with quality chokes on rear wheels........ I'd probably get 3 blocks for each wheel just so the wheel rests on one solid block in the...

    The Retrofit Source: Morimoto XB LED Fog Light Housings for Mazda

    this below..... but it is far from plug and play, see Mazda3 link below, I got them cheap during their sale and it will fit the OEM brackets at the required 3 mounting points but need to shave a lot of plastic off in the bracket rear to make it fit, I haven't gotten a chance to install them...

    Guide ATF Drain/Fill

    This is good info, thanks yrwei52, so basically if going to dealer and paying them whatever they charge for a basic drain and fill for ATF is only replacing the old fluid by 35% volume (I think they charge like $125 to $150 maybe someone who has done it can confirm). So in theory have to go...

    Window Tints (?)

    maybe take it back to where you got them done and ask them to fix it or you can easily do it yourself and save some money, these days everything is laser pre-cut to the exact size and shape, except for tint shops where they buy BULK rolls and use a blade to trace the windows, sound like they...

    CX-5 housekeeping -battery, rotor, coolant,cargo net, black plastic, windshield fluid

    just checked my 2016.5 GT (non-tech) Type B cluster....... it's there between BRAKE and GAS CAP same like cyterio very surprising that a $45K MSRP CX-9 Signature doesn't have this.....https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123858494-2016-CX-9-Windshield-Fluid-Warning-Light

    CX-5 housekeeping -battery, rotor, coolant,cargo net, black plastic, windshield fluid

    I think only certain markets have them, I know for sure Canada CX-5's has the windshield fluid dash indicator, they also get front passenger seat motor and memory seats for drivers. I think UK CX-5's also have the indicator. In the owner's manual there's an asterisk for the windshield dash...

    I hope Mazda did some real good stuff for 2017...

    congrats on your new car, I never really likes the old CRV but the 2017 CRV is on my short list to replace my wife's car, this new CRV looks really good, I like the handsfree foot activated trunklid and the new GPS is Garmin based... man, mainstream cars have really caught up to the luxury...

    Lollie in demister vent

    LOL, this thread is funny as hell, aquarium vacuums have pretty good suction, strong enough to pick up gravel, I'm sure it'll be strong enough to pick up your "lollie" LOL just get some adapters or tubing that's small enough to get thru the vents, this is the easiest way I can think of...

    NY state drivers will have to start stripping

    agreed, kind of mis-leading, yeah, I lived in NYC before and they actually set up road blocks on side streets or highway entrance ramps once in awhile on slow Saturday or Sunday mornings just to stop vehicles and check tint with the meters. You see cars pulled over once in a while for tint...

    Remote Start

    correct but check out the reviews in this forum, most who bought it don't like it, takes too long to log into Mazda App server to start the car, also there's an annual subscription fee, I think it's $75, not sure......

    New 2017 CX-5 Revealed

    just saw a new Rav4 on the road, it has the same half chrome trim like the new CX-5 except a lot thinner and not as noticeable...... actually the lowered belt line and sideview of the new CX-5 resembles very close to the Rav4, except the Mazda looks better IMHO.... "][/URL] also Mazda did...

    meh, it looks just ok, the LED light doesn't throw very far, agree it looks like it stops when the main lights start, it like the see some fog lighting supplement the main driving lights, not sure in the Toyota Nation poster had it aimed too low, I admit the light pattern is nice and wide and...
