Interesting discussion, but given that this thread was posted in the CX-50 subforum, I'd ask that those discussing the CX-5's active grille shutters continue the discussion in this thread. Or, if you'd like to create a thread not specific to any model, please post it in the Lounge. Thanks

I had drilled and slotted rotors on my previous car. At first they didn't seem to make any noise, but after a while (maybe 6 months to a year?), I started hearing a similar noise as I cruised down residential streets with high fences. I guess the noise would bounce off the fences, and I'd be...

Installed a Dongar Pro dashcam adapter to power my dashcam. Initially I got the standard Dongar rearview mirror tap thinking it would supply constant power, but its designed to only supply switched power when then ignition is on. The Dongar Pro gives me a few choices - switched power with the...

72.5k kms, diff fluid and ATF drained and filled. Used Mazda OEM SG1 for the diff and Mazda ATF FZ for the transmission, new crush washers all around.

NOTE: For anyone planning to do their own ATF service, if you have one of those cheap Bluetooth OBD2 readers, you can download a free Android app to get the ATF temp readout. The app I used is called "Car Scanner ELM OBD2", from developer Car Scanner LLC. Diff fluid and ATF changed over the...

@sinistriel@, just tried it out and it's not working. Tried Auto and that didn't work either. I left it blank, then pressed the Test button at the bottom, and it gave me a short string of characters that started with a 7. I tried putting that string into the Header field and it let me save the...

That makes sense. I'll add that lowering pressure slightly can give some tires more "bite" in snow, specifically those with aggressive "sidewall-tread" designs like Falken Wildpeaks or Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus tires.

They look great in green! I agree that Mazda needs more "fun" colours for the sporty compacts. A new yellow and green would be awesome. There's a clear trend shown in the pic below.. I also think the new Melting Copper Metallic from the 70/90 would look great on the Miata.

I hope you have the best day today, lol. Thank you for this! I just tried to add the custom PID and I'm getting an error saying that the Header value (7.00E+01) is incorrect. I tried "7E01" and it let me save the PID. Gonna go out to the car to test it now!

Same here, haha

Hmm, I've always filled to about 36 psi for my CX-9s, which is 2 PSI higher than what is recommended on the placard. Never had any issues. I only chose 36 because 34 felt a little low to me. I'm interested in seeing what others do.

Got some Yokohama Geolandar A/T GO15 tires in 265/50/20 installed in preparation for winter. I was going to run the Pirellis until I came across these at a price I couldn't ignore. Definitely not as quiet, as expected, but still much quieter than Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2s. The sidewalls look...

Does anyone know how to get Torque Pro to display transmission fluid temperature for my 2nd gen CX-9? I'm using a ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 adapter and the paid Torque Pro app for Android. The only value I can find for transmission fluid temperature shows no data.

The foglights are LED. I have seen only one person here change their foglights - if I remember right, they used Morimoto LEDs and they custom fabricated/3D-printed the brackets for the new lights. The output was much better. If you wanted yellow foglights, I would suggest vinyl wrapping the...

Yeah that is a very good sale on it.. I did use PUP for the first few oil changes with my 2018. Since then I've been using the Kirkland stuff and I find it to be a good oil for my needs. I stocked up a few years ago when it went on sale, $40 for 2 jugs, and I'm finally going to run out next year...
