So my 2 cent, I own cx 5 190k and cx 9 127k. For value, oem beat most common brands. Under rock auto Premium brands Wagner, Bosch didn't last me 50k. Oem front brake set for example hit 90k. I'm testing Raybesto now, but after this, I'll go back to oem. These do brake and feel better. But not...

Naw, not worth my trouble. If there was things that concerning, it would be in the oil sample I sent already 2x. The ST sample was done after my Castrol GTX UItra Clean 0W/20. My cx 9 was used and I think the lady drove it 24k without ever doing an oil change... I took a gamble on it. Moto...

Aren't these locked to first car it uses on?

Man this is such a good read. I do love how detail you are and photos. I'll probably order all the parts and take a week off to do this. Great project to do one day. Thanks man

Is it a radiator crack or hose? Radiator swap isn't too hard, but it's older car look at the cost $100-300 range. I'll probably use WB weld + a leak sealer to reenforce inside. Do bi weekly check tell car dies ( or at every gas refill). Good luck

Ya, I noticed that too. Guy might be driving and refilling at dump of a gas station most days. The kind that get low foot traffic and have gasoline for weeks. Also he might not have access to TT. Hence user manual say... Use the Techron additives There is a Consumer Report on Top Teir Top Tier...

Just a reminder, two big brand of gas isn't TT. Wawa and BJ gas 😭.

In 2016, cx 5 2014 Signature with 28k miles for $18k USD. Car at 180k now, love it

Same as Shell. You get the highest additives in their best gas. Forgot where, but Shell and Chevron are top two companies that give the most additives.

Top tier yes, but this channel did say some odd thing. Like "Don't trust car manufacturer oil change at 5/7k. Do it at 3k". Then there was some other video that they push "See this car was at 7k oil change"... I'm like "no way.. Owner lie or shop they went to for a while just top off and never...

1) Why did you replaced the thermostat? 2) How easy was it? 3) Did you have need new gasket too?

Did a oil test on my cx 5 at 80k. They say it's would be good for 30-40k more. So I guess Mazda "Lifetime" atf is good stuff. I used that data and did my cx 9 at 100k. Thinking my next one would be at 170k? Then we see how much longer car last.

Whoever does it next should have a detailed video on it. Help a brother out 😭

Mazda say 7.5k and it's base on their Synthetic-Blend 5W-30. BMW and Toyota for years been doing 10k when their car ask for "Full synthetic". I generally do mine around 7k, but once again. If I'm traveling it might would go over, I just pour the extra half a qt in, that would boost up...

Been using Super Tech full synthetic and filters. 190k on cx 5 2014 and 127k on cx 9 2016. I did an oil report on it. I travel a lot and having a buffer on oil life is important. Super tech normal filter is 10k miles. Oil rated for 20k. If I know I'll be going longer, I just upgrade my oil...

Find a good auto shop that would do the job with parts you bring in. Then use RockAuto, we are talking about 1/3 price of Auto zone etc here.

Pan was new. It came inside. Maybe from o-ring on top. Or the black paint from top/bottom radiator opening. Wasn't a lot when ompared to old style radiator.
