    CX-9 Oil Change

    Does anyone know what the actual engine oil capacity is when doing oil changes? I've read on manual 4.8L with oil filter replaced, 4.5L without but I got my CX9 oil-changed yesterday (providing my own 5L jug of 5W30 full synthetic) and the local mazda svc dept said they had to top it up with...

    2016 CX-9 Heater... weak?

    We've endured minus 25-32deg C temps the past 10days and with car sitting even inside garage it takes a long time for the vehicle cabin to warm up (2017 MY). Good thing I have remote start but even after letting it run on idle for 10-15 mins and driving car for say almost half an hour still the...

    2018 GT - Entering Nav Destination by Voice

    Have had no issues using the voice activated Nav on my 2017 MY Signature...have had mine for a year now and while the voice activated Nav is not as intuitive as I would want it to be, it does the job nevertheless...took awhile to get it to work properly though as I had to follow the tutorial.

    Issues/Annoyances on 2017 CX-9

    My biggest gripes are: no heated 2nd row seats and front parking sensors (w/c were addressed in 2018 MY), not very comfortable seats for long drives and the HVAC takes awhile to warm up the cabin (as opposed to cooling it in warmer areas we are the opposite) as our temps lately have been in...

    No more tachometer in the Heads Up Display (active driving display)

    It was a safety issue that Mazda engineers thought of in removing the tach info on the HUD from which they indicated was "distracting"...personally I didn't care for the tach info and when I test drove the CX9 (a 2016 model) with the tach on HUD I just disabled it. If you are complaining about...

    Android Auto installed. Mazda CX9 Turbo

    Doesn't that void any warranty on your infotainment system if you do that kind of install?

    New Mazda Mobile Start

    They've stopped support and upgrades on the mobile app for awhile now considering they charge yearly subscription on it. The cost of unit and install was same as an after market compustar 2-way remote start which may have limited range of 3000ft but way faster in operation in terms of...

    2016 CX-9 driver seat comfort

    Not as ergonimically designed and cushioning is on the firm side vs my prev Volvo which had one of the best seats in the industry...Volvo's seats were designed by orthopedic surgeons so hopefully Mazda can learn from that

    CX-9 Oil Change

    Probably in your region but most of us are here in NA and the 5W30 is the spec/grade but there is a diff bet the conventional and synthetic oil. While synthetic is not required by the manufacturer, use of fully synthetic does help esp in extreme climate temp regions (like where I am located and...

    Would I need AWD?

    There is also an advantage when time to sell it/trade in as AWD in a large CUV likely easier to sell it down the road...just saying

    Choking feeling at idle and driving

    Check for any hose leaks (vacuum pressure) that can affect the amount of air intake that could be causing the issue. Normally you would see the check engine light go on if that was the issue but some manufacturers may have it programmed differently.

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    Does the $55K pricing include taxes already? I assume it does given it's only 5% gst in AB... If it does then that's a good deal already given the limited wiggle room we have here in Cda. Congrats on your purchase and you'll be happy withthe CX9 even better the upgraded features on the 2018 vs...

    2018 Mazda CX 9 Pricing

    You have to remember that it's a bit different in the US than here in Cda where there are fewer dealerships to deal and negotiate with not to mention the amount of sales and inventory. That's what happened to me with my purchase last year. To be honest not much wiggle room here in Cda given...

    2016-2018 model rear lift-gate button on vehicle dash

    Never experienced that issue so far with mine almost a year now. I do however have the vehicle trans in Park and doors unlocked but handbrake or electronic parking brake not engaged (and tailgate opening/closing works)

    Moved From 2017 Signature to 2018 Signature In 4 Months

    Was not comparing prem/luxury models to mainstream brands...simply stating which brands are using that type of heated steering wheel. Reason I simply mentioned Volvo was because I was aware of it having test driven a Volvo last year with full heated steering wheel same as with BMW. I know...

    Moved From 2017 Signature to 2018 Signature In 4 Months

    I agree the heated steering wheel should be entire wheel and not just the 3-9 positions...Volvo and other manufacturers heat the entire wheel. If there's any consolation, Toyota and Lexus use the same (3-9 positions) which are found in a lot more vehicles than Mazda just by sheer sales volume...

    Moved From 2017 Signature to 2018 Signature In 4 Months

    Doesn't sound like a wise financial decision but hey if you're happy with it less the inconvenience and annoyances from the dealer service then all is good! I just can't/won't justify the jump from '17 to '18 due to the financial hit on depreciation and the features while they're nice to have...
