    2017~2025 CX-5 turbo engine oil/filter change interval

    I think the same 12 months or 7500 miles whichever comes first. Yrwei beat me to it.

    A good tire dealer should be willing to "work" with you. They rarely have to send tires back to the manufacturer for mileage warranties and the prorated mileage adjustment doesn't cost them anything.

    OEM Interior lighting kit (footwell) KB7W-V7-050

    The dealer. I worked out a deal when I purchased my new CX5. They didn't have any problems and it only took about 3 hours and no rattles, but each dealership is different of course.

    True, but if you have a good tire shop, and rotate your tires properly and keep your alignment in check, and only get 30,000 miles out of the LTX, then you will get a 50% credit toward your next set. And really, everyone is going to get a different experience from each tire depending on the...

    OEM Interior lighting kit (footwell) KB7W-V7-050

    Let's just say that it was a failure, haha. Installation instructions were poor, in Japanese, for right-hand drive, and the work was way beyond my abilities and I don't think connectors were going to match up anyway.

    Diesel Towing

    I noticed the new CX5 diesel is rated to tow 3500 LBS. I would be interested to know if the brakes are bigger, transmission is different or maybe a beefier trans cooler, or if this is just because of the diesel. I'm sure it will tow better overall and not need to downshift as much pulling a...

    I like that one too, but it is only available for the 17" wheels. Also, on TireRack it shows that it has a 70K warranty. It looks like that changed 6-1-19...

    OEM Interior lighting kit (footwell) KB7W-V7-050

    I have had it on mine since new. It's pretty subtle, but nice ambient light in the footwell areas.

    I'm getting the LTX as well in about 2 weeks. Can't wait because the Toyos with almost 50K on them are starting to get pretty noisy.

    Helper Springs

    I load down mine as well, I think you are looking for adjustable air bags that install in your rear coil springs, and I have had them installed for a couple of months. I haul a trailer and sometimes have a tongue weight of 150-200 LBS. I also have a cargo carrier that I use in the hitch for...

    2019 Mazda CX-5 vs. 2019 Toyota RAV4 (Car&Driver)

    I was just discussing the RAV4 Hybrid, and I think if you talk to good service managers and check out some RAV4 forums, you will see that they are also performing drain/fills on their CVT transmissions if they plan on keeping the vehicle a long time, even though there is no recommended trans...
