    What are all the fluids that need changing? 2016 CX-5 FWD

    I think the rear diff only requires like 0.5 quarts so that $30 bottle is enough for two changes.

    2017~2025 Driver Attention Alert System malfunction

    You are going to need a code reader for that I think. The manual says to bring it in to a dealer to check.

    Gas Stations

    Google “top tier gas“ and you’ll find your answer. Costco is top tier! to be top tier, the standard is higher with added detergents. You’ll pay a little more, but your injectors should be in better shape over time.

    2013~2016 Not a fan of the TPMS monitor

    The tpms system in the Mazda is pretty useless because YOU can’t monitor it. Most vehicles with tpms have a screen in the info system to tell you the pressure of each tire. By the time a tire reads low and you are alerted to it, it might be too late. As it is, you can’t monitor for a slow...

    Replacement brakes

    I haven’t done brakes on my cx5 yet, but did replace them on my Acura rl. Used centric and akebono pads and liked them. I will probably go that route for the cx5.

    My 2021 Mazda CX-5 is completely crazy

    Get a multimeter and check the voltage of the battery. It should read 12.6, if it reads below 12.3, you will have issues. When it’s running, check again, should be over 14v, if it’s not it’s your alternator. Your battery is covered under the factory warranty so it will be replaced free if it...

    2017~2025 Maintenance Schedule?

    Brake fluid is every three years, also very easy to bleed through. When it starts looking dark brownish, it’s time to change.

    2017~2025 Maintenance Schedule?

    I was thinking 30k for rear diff, transfer case and transmission and every 30k thereafter. Maybe change trans filter at 60k. plugs at 75-100k? The workshop manual shows the procedures to change them so I doubt they are lifetime. They are so easy to change and relatively cheap, hardly makes...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    I recently sold my 2016 pilot privately, it wasn’t a great experience, in the end I got several thousand more than places like carvanna were offering, but it took about 5 months and I was priced toward the upper range of the kbb private party sale price. Car was mint, low mileage, with 3 years...

    2017~2025 Radar Detector recommendations

    Tried a radenso XP, no go in the cx5, constant k band hits. It’s a great radar detector, very well built, super long range and excellent customer service, just not for the cx5. Really wish it would have worked. Watched the vortex video showing minimal falses with a cx5 and the R7 so decided to...

    Ugh, those guys are right around the corner from me. Haven’t needed service yet, hope I dont as I tend to diy. I avoided buying my cars there as they were pretty shady. Not disclosing or showing damage in pics, have heard other stories not so good about them. Used Faulkner in PA. can I ask...
