    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    https://www.bsc-ind.com/1089662/product/n/loctite-51001-loct It's described as allowing more clamping force when fastened to a given torque. That is one of the concerns with using lubricants on lug nuts. Perhaps you are compensating by tightening to a lower torque to avoid over-straining the...

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Yeah, I think the "lug wrench" they are referring to is a dual purpose device. @Conrad 16.5 grease: a thick oily substance, especially as used as a lubricant Permatex Anti Seize Lubricant SDS lists 2nd ingredient as Mineral Oil...

    Especially if its from the same dealership that previously quietly sent it out in the condition discovered by the next dealer and pictured by OP.

    Oil pan bolt stripped threads

    Did you look at it after they fixed it? This is the same shop that let it leave with that blue junk. Why do you believe it is fixed any better than it was before you brought it to the 2nd dealer. It's hard to imagine a legitimate circumstance in which they'd do that in a dealer shop, and if...

    Be glad you have a CX-5

    The obvious problem is wanting to do a daily commute using cheap electricity from home, but have the flexibility of gas infrastructure and range. Allows more torque and power without a big ICE.

    Oil pan bolt stripped threads

    2nd Dealer shouldn't have touched the plug without pointing out that it was gunked up. June Dealer should cover the oil too, that's ridiculous. Either they screwed it up or they didn't. Looks like they know that they did. They should fix it, put new oil in, apologize profusely, and offer you...

    60k mile recommended vs required service? 2020 CX-5

    What is EPR? The first dealer charges about 3X what I'd be willing to pay if I were to have somebody else do it.

    Is it a big deal if springs are misaligned?

    Oh, I see it now. I couldn't see the problem. It looks like the springs are in exactly the right place, bu the rubber between the spring and the metal seat is rotated out of position.

    Difference between Part # 00008ER13 and 00008ER07A? CX-5 Trailer harness

    I ordered mine in 2018 from them. Perhaps what they have now is an updated version. When I ordered it was labled as for 2017-2018 on the website. They had it listed only in conjuction with the hitch. I emailed to ask if I could buy the harness separately and they updated their website to...

    Spare Tire different Brand? CPO 2023 CX-5 Sig

    Yeah, whatever is best for your situation. I think I've needed a spare maybe 3 times in 37 years of driving. One of which was on my wedding day on the way to the wedding! 50 mph is fine for me in an uncommon situation like that for a few hours are a couple of days every decade or so. I don't...

    Spare Tire different Brand? CPO 2023 CX-5 Sig

    Yours is full height, that's what matters. My 2018 came with a shorter tire so I spent a bunch of effort to get a new wheel and tire that had the same outer diameter but still fit in the pocket.

    Difference between Part # 00008ER13 and 00008ER07A? CX-5 Trailer harness

    Presumably. I took a leap that the Canadian would be plug and play with my US 2018 and it was. I don't know why they gave the Canadians such a better one and didn't offer it in the US. Their floor mat option is way better too.

    2014 CX-5 Transmission Dipstick stuck

    I don't know what access looks like, but if I were going to apply force, I do from one of these places. Not in the gaps just above the O-ring. The part looks injection molded. Liquified plastic gets shaped by a mold and then cools and hardens. If the area pointed out above were solid...
