I switched to Idemitsu 5W-30. I wish Mazda would have a digital readout of oil pressures. That way you can see the oil pressure with the different grades of oil. In summertime, with AC on, lots of highway driving, I bet that oil pressure is lower with 0W-20 than it would be with 5W-30. As oil...

I just got this from RockAuto and did the oil change on my 2017 CX-5 (52k miles). I run the 0W-20 during the fall-spring but will run the 5W-30 during the summer due to high temps. Does this oil have the high Moly content like the Mazda branded oil?

Out here where I live, they do not. I just called NAPA and they confirmed they do NOT cut rotors. Looks like O'Reilly does cut them where I live for $25 but they don't do any crosshatch pattern finishes to help with pad break-in and mating. The new Raysbestos rotors cost $40 per rotor so the...

I replaced the rotors and pads with the Raysbestos ceramic. The rotors had 51k miles on them and the pads were still decent but I had pulsation during braking and rotor surface had some wear. I saved the OEM rotors and will maybe cut them one day but hard to find shops that turn/cut rotors anymore.

Brake fluid is DOT 3 for my 2017. Can the master cylinder brake fluid be removed with a suction device? Looking to replacing the fluid in the master cylinder.

Sad to hear about no parchment for the 2022 Turbo's. The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks really nice but not practical for me. Some of my trips are 300+ miles so it's 250 range would leave me stranded. No time or place to charge when I do my 300 mile round trips through the southwest desert. Local...

Will I lose all my radio and Infotainment settings once I disconnect and replace the battery?

I just ordered the FRONT rotors and pads from RockAuto for $100 plus shipping. I got the Raysbestos R-Line Ceramic kit.

Neighbor claims Interstate batteries end up leaking battery acid everywhere with time. I'm sure there are cases of this happening but it's not common.

So it looks like I will go with the standard Costco Interstate battery for $110. Someone mentioned going with the Duracell from Batteries Plus or Sam's Club. They are $180 for the standard battery. Same 3 year warranty. Are Duracell car batteries any good? (CCA=640 CA=785)

On a 2017 CX5 Touring, it requires a GROUP 35 battery, right? For some reason, Costco Interstate doesn't list 2017 CX5 as an option. I don't have any of that i-eloop or other re-gen tech that were optional. Costco has the Interstate GROUP 35 standard battery for $110 (CCA-640 CA-800)...

Speaking of oil. When I do an oil & filter change on my 2017 CX5, manual states 5 quarts. When 5 quarts are poured in, the oil level ends up on the middle of the dipstick range between the two hole punches. Basically 1/2 way between the 2 holes. When I put in 5.25 quarts it, the oil is just...

Went to Mazda dealer to get a Mazda oil filter. Only filter they have available for my 2017 Mazda CX-5 (non turbo) was the Made in Mexico Mazda Value oil filter # PE01-14-302a-MV I inspected the inside of the filter prior to install and found that most of the punched oil holes were closed and...
