    2014 CX5 Tune-Up items to replace?

    Just an FYI to you younger folks (I am 66) that are amazed at the "key" to squeeze out the RTV sealant. They've been around for decades and were commonly used, at least in my "always use everything to the last drop" household, to get all the toothpaste out of the tube! You can get a whole...

    2020 GT • Passenger Side-curtain airbag deployed

    Looking at the first picture, perhaps it's just a distortion due to a wide angles lens shot, but the rear wheel looks to be at an odd angle.

    2014 CX5 Tune-Up items to replace?

    Yeah, that would be me. No matter how many zip ties I used, they all broke and I just could not get it done while lying on the ground. Took it my mechanic who had an easier time of it using a lift.

    2017~2025 Best Winter Tires for the CX-5?

    I went with the 225/65/17 DM-V2 Blizzaks. Rated 102S, but I'll never approach that speed on them! Couldn't be happier - feels like I'm driving a snowmobile. Last set was DM-V1s which I also like, but these are better!

    Mirror Won't Close After Car Wash

    Or you could just go to the dealer and say, "It doesn't work right. Fix it, please". KISS principle! :)

    Car washes - safe or not?

    For some us hand washing isn't possible 6 months of the year. Touchless car washes are better than nothing.

    2014 CX5 Tune-Up items to replace?

    The NKG Iridiums are absolutely fine. There is zero documentation that the OEM plugs do anything different than the NKGs - it's all a matter of opinion and hearsay, but no fact-based evidence. Save your money for other items where OEM does make a difference.

    Catastrophic CX-5 Crash - Driver Walks Away

    I know Mazda really likes repeat customers, but have you ever considered just selling your vehicles instead of what you do to them? Just asking? :cool:

    Blown away Falken WildPeak A/T Trail 225/55/R19

    20K in under a year and you didn't drive much? How many miles do you put on in "normal" year then? :oops:

    Catastrophic CX-5 Crash - Driver Walks Away

    Actually, there's the problem. It wasn't a genuine Mazda oil filter! :geek:

    Searching for a Black Plastic CX-5 Trim part number

    I installed OEM mud flaps on day 1 of getting my CX-5. Lots of snow/crud buildup here in Minnesota in winter. I've never had any problems with the trim pieces, the mud flaps take all the abuse, and they are still just fine today.

    Is this a great price for a 2019 CX-5 GT?

    Or, it could be as simple as "these seats are just not comfortable for me" as we have seen many times on this forum.

    2017~2025 Water on Passenger A-Pillar when Snowing/Raining

    My thought is the door seal as well.

    CX-5 engine rattle

    I dunno, that engine is WAY louder than my 2014. I would be concerned.

    Recommendation for car ramps?

    I never rotate my tires. They last about 5 years which is about the maximum age of the rubber that I am comfortable with. Then I buy 4 new tires. I use the 2x10 type of "ramp" to change the oil. Works for me.

    Non-slip tape as sill protectors?

    You might be able to improvise with something like this. You could use a 3M tape like this to attach it.

    Pulstar Spark Plugs?

    I watched the Project Farm video and it almost seemed like he smirked a little that there was so little difference between the plugs. I think he expected bigger differences. To me, the major difference is going to be how the various plugs wear over time. Right now we know that the OEM Iridium...
