It's strange reading about the CX5 suspension being too hard when it is the softest of all of the current Mazda lineup. When I hear ride complaints about the CX5, it's usually about the ride being too soft or that it has too much body roll

The NGK web site says 94124 (ILKAR7L11) for the non-turbo and 90288 (DILKAR7M8) for the turbo

You only bought it 4 months ago. You probably don't need anything yet. Most dealers will at least do the oil change before they sell it. They probably did more work to it when they CPO'd it. They should have given you a Carfax/AutoCheck report of its history and that should show what they did to...

Why does the title say 2017-2025 when the issue is up to 2020 2.5T models?

no, severe is still 5k miles for the revised models

absolutely do not tell him to go 10k miles between oil changes. Especially while he still has the factory powertrain warranty. 7500 mi or 1 year for normal driving; 5000 mi for severe newer models that have been updated recently (Mazda 3, CX-30/50) are the ones that say 10k miles/12 months in...

please post pics of the parts you talking about. I've never heard of "helicoils"

yes, it did start in 2017. Most of what you wrote is pulled straight from the 2017 CX5 Press Book

starting with the 2018 models, Mazda did a lot to reduce road noise and vibration. Every years since there have been incremental improvements to NVH. You really have to take on for a test drive in the area you live to see if you notice the difference

Toyota, Honda, and Subaru all use high moly oil for their 0w-20 factory fills. I think it's the same Idemitsu oil for all of them. The 0w-16 and 0w-8 Toyota now specs are also very high in moly

Those prices do not include the destination fee

LOL...you just said to avoid every CX5 from 2018-2024 unless it's a 2021-2024 2.5T model

I don't understand the "stiff" comments. The 17" tires have the most rubber and the CX5 suspension is considered the softest of all the current SUV lineup What vehicle are you coming from? Maybe you're just used to something much softer Allow time for the tires to break in. Give them 500-1000...

Mazda never had remote start on the key fob

That's not a liter over. From the min to max dots is one liter. You're probably about .2-.3 liters over which is hardly anything. Please show us the dipstick

I just switched to 5w-30 on my 2017 Mazda 6. The "feel" of the engine is definitely different. It's only been 2 weeks so it's hard for me to nail down the difference. What has changed is my mpg. I used to get 29-32mpg on my daily commute. Now I get 26-29mpg

there is no need to go thicker than 5w-30 on the turbo

as the models get updated to the newest standards, the system with tire psi numbers gets added. The CX5 is the last one with the older system

That applies to all the current models except the CX5

Half of those things are just personal preference.
