    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I've never used anti-sieze on lug nuts myself. Never had issues removing but perhaps some areas of the country that use salt it could help. Plenty of other stuff (15 other things, toys and vehicles need maintenance throughout the year).... but this does change torque rating by like 20-30% (need...

    Which oil is best for the 2.5L Non-Turbo CX-5?

    I’ve used Mazda 0W-20 moly since new. No noticeable oil consumption between oil changes. I’m staying the course Currently around 89k miles I find this a very informative oil channel with in-depth coverage of everything oil related Coverage on additive packages was eye opening as one size...

    Be glad you have a CX-5

    Remove/replace washer bottle in 2014 CX-5

    Are there a couple bolts or hose connections one can't get to through the fender or top? I could have sworn when I was replacing fog lights with my Morimotos years back and looking up there it seemed accessible but maybe I'm having a false memory.

    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    Madar: You have that oil residue on this area that required a rear main seal replacement on mine It was never enough to cause noticeable oil drop on dipstick though I’d clean up and see if it comes back. Mine would reappear until RMS was replaced...

    What are your favorite aspects of your CX-5?

    TBH.. 0-30 MPH cruise or whatever manufacturers call stop and go… is of only real interest to me these days. I’m either in gridlock or wide open roads. I have old school over 25 MPH radar cruise in my old ‘07 G35x and rarely use it

    Car undercoating really helpful?

    No..absolutely do not rely on anything OEM… I even see some rust on my CX-5 in area of the US (Pacific Northwest) not part of the salt belt. Look to Krown or Ziebart https://www.krown.com/en/ https://www.ziebart.com/auto-care-services/rust-protection/rust-protection-services Washington...
