    2017 CX-5 vs 2024?

    starting with the 2018 models, Mazda did a lot to reduce road noise and vibration. Every years since there have been incremental improvements to NVH. You really have to take on for a test drive in the area you live to see if you notice the difference

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Toyota, Honda, and Subaru all use high moly oil for their 0w-20 factory fills. I think it's the same Idemitsu oil for all of them. The 0w-16 and 0w-8 Toyota now specs are also very high in moly

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    I just switched to 5w-30 on my 2017 Mazda 6. The "feel" of the engine is definitely different. It's only been 2 weeks so it's hard for me to nail down the difference. What has changed is my mpg. I used to get 29-32mpg on my daily commute. Now I get 26-29mpg

    A new "high" for our dealership. They MUST be joking!

    They're not even right about the spark plug replacement interval. It's supposed to be every 40k miles for the 2.5T
