I negotiated free synthetic oil changes for a year per the dealer paperwork. Plan on going synthetic blend oil once the free oil changes are completed.

My last 2019 Mazda CX-5 turbo CPO lasted over 55,000+ miles with JB4with zero issues (totaled not my fault rear ended/sideswiped). I beat the hell out of that car (after the car fully warms up ~30-45 minutes).I pop the hood to check if there are any leaks. I make the dealer rev the engine with...

I too find the CX 5/CX 50 brake pedal is soft. But I’m comparing it against my old Nissan juke Nismo RS and my Mazdaspeed3. I’m half tempted to upgrade the front and rear brakes to see if it firms up the brake pedal. I have less than <10,000 miles on the clock, on my new CX-5 turbo with the...

I found the same issue when I own my first CX five. I went into the navigation/entertainment system and disabled the auto highbeam. Also on my new CX five I disabled it as well.

As previously mentioned, the six cylinder twin turbo will not fit into the CX five engine bay due to the addition of the 2 turbos. The only reason they were able to fit the six cylinder twin turbo in the CX nine was because there was more room in the engine bay compartment. Also, as others...

While my CX- 5 signature was in the shop, they gave me a CX-30 without the bose system, and it sounded anemic. Also, when I test drove the CX-5 without the Bose found the same problem. I’m an audio file and found the spare tire subwoofer was inadequate/weak, so I upgraded to the spare JBL...

I was thinking of 17” rims as there would be considerable weight savings over 19”. I like them blacked out on the CX-5 and CX-30. Just don’t think it’s worth it for one size smaller rim, which is why I was considering 17 inch rims from a Mazda. I’m Aware of the larger brakes on the front but was...

Was wondering what the weight savings is from going to 19 inch rims on a turbo Mazda CX 5 to 17 inch rims. What the weight difference is as well as the clearance. Anyone know?

But that’s on high end sports cars like McLaren, corvettes, m3’s, and race cars (typically not Mazdas, Honda, Toyota, etc.) I talked to a few new vette owners and they weren’t able to rev above 3k till they hit 500+miles.

Best off taking the coil packs from Cylinder three and four, and moving them to banks one and two. Move coil packs 1 & 2 and moving them to cylinder 3 & 4 (basically swapping them). This way you can see if the problem follows the coil pack or not. This will save you money on purchasing new coil...

I used the Forten and JB4 at the same time on my old turbo CX-5 with out issue.

after If you beat on the car constantly, or off-road not jeep off-road/ doing donuts, and I would definitely recommend constant changes, changing the fluid, at least every 30k n to 40 miles and be sure to check the a treat yes also, runny. (5k miles )Full system oil. I personally put some Lucas...

I guess I’ve been lucky as I haven’t had as many issues as others, but then again before disconnecting the original connectors/harness I unplugged the battery, then plug in the fortune, then plug the battery back in then program the key.

Sounds like you don’t take it off road/drifting. Not jeep off road but you know what I mean. I take my cars snow drifting/off roading every year. FWD, AWD,RWD. I recently upgrade my bushings on my older RWD car as the Bushings began to show tears (dry rot) which leads to clunking noises. After...

To each their own, but I could definitely appreciate what you’re saying. But CompuStar, cobra, etc and I forgot the name of the other ones are expensive in comparison, and that money could be a better used for other mods to the car. It takes all of five minutes to unscrew the few screws and...

“I was not aware of this Forten feature”. We get four or five years for inspection on new cars. After that, it’s two or three years. It’s an easy fix though just unplugged the Forten connectors. Plug back in All the original connectors and drive for about 50 to 75 miles and assuming there’s...

Poor alignment easy to tell. Find a flat surface go up to at least 30 to 40 miles an hour, and if the steering wheel is straight, your alignment is more than likely fine. Additionally, if you did hit a pothole or a curb, there’s little weights that they add to the rims to balance them they...

I took it to my mechanic and he found the shock/strut leaking. Car was under warranty but I’m not a fan of dealerships/service departments. While there they put car on stand and confirmed leaky shock. They replaced the left rear but refused to replace the right rear shock. About month later the...

I’ve installed on multiple CX fives, And have not had an issue yet as long as you follow the directions properly, I’m sure there’s a small portion of people who do not know how to read, let alone plug-in and follow directions. And it would definitely suck to be without a car that starts not to...
