    Does anyone use conventional oil in their newer CX-5?

    I have never let my Direct injection motors go 7500 miles between changes...the fuel dilution isn't worth the risk...of course my 5000 miles is all hills and mountains and traffic...and I was still adding Liquid moly at every change too.

    Do you want your cx5 to be better?

    Install an AEM dryflow filter. Our 2014.5 and our 2018 felt like entirely different cars after installing them. AEM claims double CFM flow over stock... and the engine seems to love it. No gaon MPG... But the added power and throttle response makes the car feel like a new beast... Best $35 you...

    Lame Mazda commercial, Feel Alive!

    I actually don't hate the new Moto...but here in CA the Toyota and Honda (the worst) campaigns have been so terrible lately that the Mazda one feels grown up in comparison. And then big Brand commercials are always about showing rows of available cars at 20pct off...yeah that gets me brand loyal...

    2014 Bose Speaker Replacement - Front Door

    The problem I faced is that the Bose AMP only pushes 2ohm and bass only to the doors, so I put nice 3 ways and none of it works since everything is filtered out at the amp...so not much can be done unless you gut the entire system...better to find a way to add a sub under the seat or something...

    Question about gas filler port(s)

    Noticed when I opened the gas flap, there is a space for a second gas filler port. What was Mazda planning on using that for? Almost looks like when electric cars have the two different charging ports...

    CX-5's old head unit replacement with Mazda Connect

    You are so lucky to not have gotten the Bose unit. Why not just get a really nice Car Play/Android Auto unit and upgrade the speakers? Why stick with either terrible Stock units?

    Good Bye CX-5

    Trying to tell a Jeep owner their cars are terrible riding, loud, gas guzzlers, poor reliability, poor handling, etch, is a waste of breath... they are lemmings who hate good driving dynamics and only care about the name on the grill. They don't care about car reviews, or reliability ratings...

    How do I fix the 2014 Bose sound?

    So I have always hated the front sound for our 2014 GT with Bose. Replaced the front dash speakers and just did the front door speakers, but realized the front door speakers are not full range, since the Bose is only sending Sub frecency to them. Is there a way to make the front doors full range?

    You Think Mazda Maps Are Out Of Date? - Thank The Lord You Don't Drive Nissan

    It is up to the buyer to check on map updates... same thing happened on my Nissan NV2500HD van. What model Mazda gets 3 years of free maps? The TomTom NB1 system gave you free updates for 90 days, not Three years...
