    No dragging issues with rear brakes. So far the daytime lights have never had any issues either. Recalls were done a while ago. EVERY car has a recall.

    High Mileage CX-5s - report in

    2016 GT now at 118,000 miles. ZERO issues ever. I do oil changes every 5K, changed transmission fluid drain and fill only at 45K, 75K and then 110K. At the 110K mark I changed the transmission filter too. Battery was replaced last summer at around 114K miles. On my second set of brakes. Just did...

    Change automatic transmission fluid?

    I did a drain and fill at 48K, 75K and then dropped the pan and replaced the filter at 110K. There were some tiny metal shavings in the pan. Sine then the transmission has been shifting like new.

    I use it all the time. It tells you where reported accidents, hazards and police are. Will also route you around them if feasible.

    How to Measure Transmission Fluid Level in Mazda3

    I did option 2 but had the MAF sensor connected and the top of the air filter housing turned sideways. This gave me plenty of room to check the tranny dipstick with the car running. I figured running unfiltered air through the engine for a couple minutes really wouldn't hurt anything.

    2018 Mazda3 vs 2019 Mazda3

    We just bought a 2019 HB Mazda 3. I agree the interior and quietness of the car are on par with BMW and other luxury near brands. We've owned three BMW's (still have one). Power is only decent. Comparing it to the Honda Civic we drove the Mazda felt light years ahead. Granted the Civic EX had...

    Tranny fluid change

    I just changed the tranny fluid on our 2016 CX-5 2.5L over the weekend. it has 113,000 miles. Last drain and fill was at 75K. This time I pulled the pan and changed the tranny filter too. I also let it drain a day and a half. Two things surprised me. First in 38K miles how dirty the fluid...

    Anyone Running 245/50/19 Tires?

    Great update, thank you. We have the Continental DWS06 tires on two of our other cars and are very happy with them. Will have to look at upgrading the CX-5 when it's due.

    225/55R19 Tire Comparison Table for CX-5 GT - Many to Choose From

    I got 65,000 out of my last set of Continental Tru contact tires. They were the 225/55/19 size. When I replaced them a week ago they had between 3 and 2/32nd's left so they were pretty much worn out. They did wear evenly and all tires had the same wear. I did notice the ride was stiffer when...

    Anyone have Truecontact Tour 225/55r19 which replaced Truecontact (touring tire)

    I've got them on my 2016 GT. So far I've put 55K miles on them. right now they are at 5/32" tread so I'll probably replace them in the next 5-10K miles. I've been really happy with them. Ride quiet, good grip at least in the Houston weather (sorry no snow here) and in my opinion have worn well...
