    2016 CX-5 Sport spark plug question

    Now a little hesitant to try the NGK ILKAR7L11 plugs after reading the "Ignition gremlin". The Mazda plugs are about $25 a piece, but maybe they are just worth it to avoid future problems.

    2016 CX-5 Sport spark plug question

    My 2016 CX-5 Sport has almost 70k.. I believe at 75k I have to change the spark plugs. Mazda recommends two types of spark lugs in the owners manual. One of them is PE5R-18-110. Can I use the NGK spark plugs part # ILKAR7L11? Apparently they are engineered to OE specifications. Are they the...

    2016 CX-5 Sport Transmission fluid change interval?

    This sounds like Toyota which also claims lifetime fluid for their transmissions. However, on my 2010 Corolla the dealer recommended a flush around 60k, which I got done.

    What is the recommended interval by Mazda? I'll have to take it to the dealer to get the transmission serviced.

    2016 CX-5 Sport Transmission fluid change interval?

    My 2016 Cx-5 Sport 2.5L automatic has about 67K on it. When do I need to change the Automatic Transmission fluid? Is it a drain and fill or flush for this model? Also, do I stick with the Mazda transmission fluid?

    '16 CX-5 sport license plate screws rusting

    I noticed that my CX-5 sport license plate tag screws are very rusty. I live in South florida and had bought it used about five years back. Do these bolts rust so easily? Where can I get replacement ones?

    2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L drive belt and tensioner replaced

    The tensioner on my Cx-5 was probably started leaking around 35 to 40k, if I remember correctly..

    2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L drive belt and tensioner replaced

    Sorry but I drive on that road very often and I can notice the distinct noise which was the noise I was getting before changing the leaking belt tensioner and belt.

    2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L drive belt and tensioner replaced

    It's the same noise that was starting to occur prior to changing the leaking hydraulic tensioner and drive belt. It seemed to have resolved after they changed it, until very recently. I am going to drive it around slowly in a quiet parking lot area and see if I can re-create it.

    2016 CX-5 Sport 2.5L drive belt and tensioner replaced

    I just got my 2016 CX-5 Sport leaking hydraulic tensioner and drive belt replaced at 60,200 miles. It was starting to make squealing belt noise every now and then under slow acceleration. So after the replacement the noise seemed to go away for a few hundred miles. However, this weekend I...

    2016 CX-5 Sport oil change interval?

    I am afraid to take it to Tires Plus again because of the oil filters they use. I believe Pennzoil PZ-37. The dealer probably uses a Mazda oil filter.

    2016 CX-5 Sport oil change interval?

    So I am about a 1,000 miles from 5k oil change interval. Had used Tiresplus last time for a synthetic oil change. I'll probably get an oil change in January at the dealer. So should I set it to "Flexible" right after the oil change? Once I set it to Flexible, I'll probably not go past 7,500...
