To each his own Grampa. Some people want a little more involvement! (even at age 76!;)) That, and some people get an automatic because that's all that's offered!

Absolutely! I've been driving CX-5s and Mazda 3s for 12 years now and rarely resort to using manual mode. Paddle shifters are another matter. I frequently find myself pulling a grade (either up or downhill) with the trans not dropping a gear exactly when I would prefer. No fault of the 6AT, it's...

You spent $$ on an impact wrench but not on a torque wrench? Hmm…🤨

Wow; and I thought my annual mileage (5-6k) was low!

Well that's not alignment. Sounds like something more mechanical. What does the shop doing the work say?

35 mph is low speed. Does the vibration subside at a higher speed or just keep getting worse?

Low speed vibration is usually caused by improper alignment.

I changed the battery on my (old) 2013 CX-5 and my current 2018 Mazda 3 and never had any issues with lost data.

That's what I thought, but why would he need to replace that after four years?!

You've got a four year old CX-5 with a bad cat! What's that all about?

And that is...???

What kind of tread is that and what are you using them for? "..going to the sun road in GNP." does not compute!

How would anyone know that?

By .283 qt maybe.

Not sure how metric vs US standard enters into this (5 qt is more than the 4.8 qt required), but I do know that putting the entire 5 qts into the sump will not quite bring it to full on the dip stick.

If your 2.5 ltr is like every other SkyActiv on the planet, he should be putting the entire 5 qts in as 4.5 qts just doesn't get it.

So far I've been kind of amazed at my dealer's behavior with regard to oil changes. I have the NA engine in my '23 CX-5 and when it came time for the first (free) service they agreed to use Mazda hi-moly synthetic oil, which I have always used in all my Mazdas with SkyActiv engines (3 to date)...

OP: From the looks of that video and your description, your car must have ECU codes coming out the ying-yang. Has anyone checked that yet?!

I’m sure someone here knows what you’re talking about.
