    Mark on front chrome

    Looks like there was adhesive or some sort of film on there and removed.

    2021 CX-5 License Plate and Reverse LED Lights Upgrade

    You can’t replace them. They are integrated into the circuitry and are not standard bulbs. Just have a look in your owner’s manual (either online or in the glove compartment): “The exterior lights have either LEDs or normal bulbs. LED type Headlights/Daytime running lights Daytime running...

    Those CC LX25 look highly rated. I’ll hold out for a sale on those.

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Damn! My wife’s alenza ultras were over $1k! (255/60r18, if I recall).

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Which Firestone’s you go with? My wife’s OEM Yokohama Geolanders on her CX9 got almost 60k on them when they were at the 3/32 mark and we replaced them with Bridgestone alenza ultras.

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    I’ll have to inspect them a bit more. I am suspicious about the lack of rotation last year as well, so I’ll check the paperwork. My last oil change (7,500) miles was October last year which should have included the 1st rotation. The 15,000 mile oil change was 2 days ago. I don’t drive that...

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    8/32 on the rear. After service technician checked, he determined they were 5/32 not 4/32 up front. They were rotated today.

    Mazda Moly Oil in 5W-30: Does It Even Exist?

    Yup. They’re giving me 2 free oil changes and threw in one for my wife. They’re lead tech was misinformed. The parts manager corrected everyone. I’m not pleased, but their response to the situation was adequate. I’m curious what they do for every other 2.5T they do oil changes on. They...

    Mazda Moly Oil in 5W-30: Does It Even Exist?

    Confirmed with parts manager. It is not full synthetic. I am heading back to the dealership now. They are replacing the filter again and putting in proper fully synthetic oil. Annoying but they will fix it.

    Mazda Moly Oil in 5W-30: Does It Even Exist?

    I’m waiting to get info from my dealership. Service advisor called me and claimed “parts confirmed it is full synthetic”. I am waiting for them to send me proof. If not, I’ll take it back. Last year they used Ford’s 5w30 full synthetic (GF6) because Mazda didn’t have that weight oil in...

    Mazda Moly Oil in 5W-30: Does It Even Exist?

    Just got my oil changed at the dealer and it was for a full synthetic. They used Mazda OEM oil, part number: 0000-78-5W30-BK “Mazda 5W-30 Engine Oil GF” I can’t find any information that this is fully synthetic oil. Can anyone chime in? I assume the GF is an indication? The more I am...

    Can Toyo A36s really wear this fast!?

    Just dropped my car of for oil change at dealership. They took measurements on the tires and my front tires are at 4/32 tread. It is quite shocking because my car JUST hit 15,100 miles. That seems like an obscenely short life! Am I crazy or should I be contacting Mazda corporate for...

    '18 CX-9 and Fortin Remote Car Starter...Success!

    That’s not with the OEM remote though. If you cannot use the OEM remote to do it without the remote starter you cannot do it even with the remote starter. No difference. Unless you use a work around (see my previous comment).

    '18 CX-9 and Fortin Remote Car Starter...Success!

    You can make the trunk work, just not with the OEM key fob. In order for the trunk to work you need an Aftermarket fob with AUX button (or any programmable button). I am using dronemobile in conjunction with evo one. I can use my phone (or watch) with the dronemobile app and open the trunk at...
