G. The seat bottom bolsters started out very stiff. But I found a seating position that is comfortable enough. It wonder if the 2022 seats would be backwards compatible for older CX-5s and people could buy the redesigned seats and swap them out.

Just think us old guys drove cars and SUVs for decades without such features. And some of the cars we drove were rear wheel drive. And we survived!

Maybe Mazdaspin can make a video of his engine when he starts it cold for us, and the dealership to listen to. Maybe his lifters get an air bubble in them and they work themselves out after driving. No engine damage will occur from the noisy lifters, it is just an annoyance. I wonder if 5w-30...

I've never had a problem re-installing the push pins. Just make sure the push part is out so the bottom of it can contract. I modified a screwdriver such that it goes under the push pin easy and makes them really fast to remove. It doesn't look like much of a mod but it really makes a big...

A person using the quick valve can drain the oil, and then remove the valve and catch the oil that comes out to prove or disprove its effectiveness. If more than an ounce of oil comes out I wouldn't use the valve. Personally I wouldn't use one, it is fast to remove and install the oil plug. But...

Invisible glass works for me. Don't need much. Then I use a micro fiber towel to rub it and dry it. Also when I wax my car I usually use the wax applicator to put a small amount of wax on the windshield, and rub it off with a clean microfiber cloth. It not only makes the windshield clean, it...

That's more than what I paid for my car when new. But I have the lowest trim level, these prices might be for the higher trim level. However, super inflation is real.

There was one YT video that South Main Auto Repair made, but I can't find it. He said the customer had valve noise practically from when the car was brand new. He took the valve cover off and found a small piece of tinfoil from an oil container that got in it.

I didn't need any tools to remove it, just squeezed the tabs with my fingers and pushed. Mine may have been easier because of being struck by the garage door.

The oil viscosity isn't a bad thing. Your engine seems to be in great shape. They suggest to drive 9K miles per change but personally I wouldn't drive that much between changes.

Maybe the CD display doesn't directly monitor what the cylinders are doing, but monitors the conditions in which CD should kick in?

YouTuber puts it to the torture test. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcLTuoRy0Yo

It is hard to know when the transition from 4 to 2 or 2 to 4 occurs from the display, but when seeing the MPG you know when it is running on 4 or 2 or 0 cylinders.

They won't do any painting. There may be something stuck under the fender preventing it from moving into place. Don't mess with it and let them fix it. Obviously you didn't do it, if something hit the car the metal would dent in, not pop out.

My first car, a Chevy Nova, would roll down a hill making a click click click noise, as the paw must have been broken. Then when I watched the movie Beverly Hills Cop, Axel Foley had basically the same exact car as me, and in the movie his car rolled down a hill with the same click click click...

My guess is he didn't pug the connectors all the way and it came unplugged. Maybe the sound you heard was the plug end occasionally touching moving parts.

Does anyone know what happened to Chris?
