If you haven't started the engine after you've added the wrong fluid, you're fine. All new fluid will be in the pan. Just drain it and drop the pan to take filter/strainer out and get the fluid out of it too. Fill it up with correct fluid and you're golden. If you ran the engine, the...

It sounds like the OP has serviced the car at that particular dealership all the time, so the records should be there. Canadian powertrain warranty is indeed 5yrs, unlimited mileage. 3yrs is bumper -to-bumper. They are going to get you the new engine, and the car will be ready to go. Relax, and...

That should work well, just watch the fluid level. This or vacuum bleeder, doesn't matter. Potato, potato...

I'm not quite sure how's it supposed to die thought, with some cleaning and efficient air filter. Sometimes deposits get caked onto the hot wire of the sensor, but cleaning takes care of that. There are no moving parts, and normally MAF sensors serve for the duration of the vehicle's life. They...

Clean it yourself using specific MAF cleaner, don't use anything else. Save time and money.

Ok, but what kind of water does it separate from oil???

Can you elaborate where the said EGR valve is located? And while you're at that, what oil from which water please?

Yeah, but when dealer's school drop-offs begin to tool with new pieces of trim, bad things happen. They've already scratched it, with all their expertise...

This is a normal functioning. You press the button while having a key, and the hutch opens. It doesn't open when you don't have a key while pressing the button. What seems to be a problem then? How else would you open the hatch while having a key to test what you're looking for?

I don't, but there's only one SkyActiv transmission for all CX-5 years... If it looks like that, this is.

Not done this way, no. I'm sure sooner or later some aftermarket supplier will come up with the version of the cooler with external ATF cooler fittings, they have made them for older Mazdas. Besides, the existing cooler has the design provision for the external fittings, they just didn't add...

Outside, bolt-on

Nothing prevents anyone from doing the above AND replacing ALL ATF at once. I don't see how's that way more work, given that you're already there. Again, partial flush replaces about third of the fluid, the rest keeps deteriorating. You're partially replacing fluid to kind of fix that, but the...

There were discussions on the boards about inability to exchange all transmission fluid in SkyActiv transaxle. The problem is that there is no obvious way to hook up to the fluid flow, because Masda employs the liquid-to liquid ATF cooler with only coolant fittings accessible. Partial fluid...

You two, stop meddling in the forum chaos...

Euro filters are different.

If you're calling that dark stuff ugliness, it ain't. Your filter is carbon- impregnated to help fight odors...

Too much work, eh...

I do, seasonally, switching between winter and summer set. I also mark them and do it rear-crossed-to-front. Winter tires are directional, so no crossing. On my other car, two oil changes a year with seasonal tire change, crossing.
