    Grounding Cylinder Head Test Results (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

    Going back to post #63, he meant the transmission shifting pattern relearning procedure.

    By the adaptive, I wonder if he meant the whole suite of adaptive features such as adaptive cruise control and etc, everything that learns from how one drives and tries to help make it safer. There must be an option to reset those features. I only have blind spot monitoring. 🤷

    TB is throttle body. That I do know. 😁

    Grounding Cylinder Head Test Results (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

    The grounding kits on Amazon usually come with 5 cables, 4 sets of nut/bolt/washers and a bracket with 4 mounting points. The cables look kinda thin though. I found a few more sets of these cables from my solar setup and will try to add them today. Judging by the available mounting points on...

    Will read the revised #63 in a bit. Found a few things in my tool box so tried this for now. Is it ok to use the same point to ground different wires? I wasn't sure because the other strut tower bracket offers multiple holes.

    Grounding Cylinder Head Test Results (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

    I started looking around and saw this wire on the passenger side of the bay that goes from a bracket on the head to a bracket by the strut tower. Also found two holes on the back of the engine, the last picture shows one of them. If that's on the head, then it's a pretty easy task. Two is better...

    What 5W30 oil brand do you use in your CX-9?

    I thought it's ok to mix if they're the same type (synthetic/conventional)? 😅 The CX-3 has gotten mixes between different brands and viscosity (0w20/5w30). Will use VRP for at least 4 cycles. There may or may not be any difference that I can feel.

    AL you had me at the first paragraph of post #1 (and #63). I must have come across your thread before but cylinder head sounds deep. That last pic got me curious. Definitely my next project.

    5w20 or 5w30?

    I believe you can. The owner's manual is a bit confusing though. If you flip to page 401 of the PDF, it tells you what to use depending on where you are. 5w20 was recommended for fuel economy. https://www.mazdausa.com/siteassets/pdf/owners-optimized/2010/cx7/2010-cx-7-owners-manual.pdf I have...

    Remotely Mazda: Used Oil as Wood Stain

    These two models were half off so I decided to assemble both using one set of acrylic pens (12 colors). The quad bike gets red body panels, black tires, white rims, silver gears, and gold suspension parts. There was not much ink left in those colors. The other one is going to be a...

    Check your Coolant Level (In your Radiator, NOT just the Expansion Tank)

    My original cap was 8.5 years old and 167K miles (269K km). It wasn't exactly responsible for any particular symptoms. I should put it back and monitor for problems. 🤔
