yes I understand that, but my question was about the 13-16 key fobs and batteries, as my wife has been having trouble with hers. My issue is just plain ol' procrastination.

forgot to mention, the fob remote is relatively new (car only came with one originally), programmed by Mazda a year or two ago, and it has a key blank inside it that I never got around to getting cut. So no, I didn't have the physical key available.

Does any of this apply to 2014 models and fobs? My wife's key fob was recently showing the red key light on the dash, and she had to hold the fob to the start button to start the car. I changed the battery with a fresh one, and later she reported it still doing the same thing. Red key light...

Our 2014's headlights are looking a little degraded along the tops of the lenses. I'd like to do a restoration, but I'm concerned about the textured areas along the top edge that show up under the edge of the hood. Has anyone tried restoring their 1st gen headlight lenses? How did you handle...

wow looks like a real life version of the Matchbox CX5 I have!

wow it's already gone, too. That's even more miles than my 94 Integra GSR! 380,000 on it now, original drivetrain. That 2014 must have done ALL the highway miles.

Sure hope not. We can’t afford another car payment right now.

yeah and wondering if I should go with a different lab to check the next sample.

I could not see any evidence of oil in the coolant visible under the radiator cap. And the used oil that came out looked like normal, dark colored used oil. There was nothing to raise any concerns of anything. And yeah I’ve had blown head gaskets on other cars where coolant mixed with oil. It...

oh sorry I forgot I removed the vehicle info when I cropped the report. It's a 2014 CX-5 Touring, 2.5L NA engine. Manufactured January 2013.

Definitely not what I wanted to see. Just got the loan paid off last summer, too.

that stuff is hit or miss. I ordered aftermarket fender liners for my NB1 Miata from there, and they're okay. Fitment is decent, although they're a bit thinner than OEM. But I also ordered fender liners for my Integra and they were absolutely horrible. Wouldn't even fit at all. Half the...

I've had like 6 or 7 Blackstone UOA reports now for our CX5, all fine, but the one I just sent in a couple weeks ago came back showing coolant in the oil. They said I should send another sample after ~4K miles to verify. Definitley not what we wanted to hear, after we just paid off the car.

Well great. Oil analysis found evidence of coolant in the oil. Not what I wanted to find. I’ll post the actual report tomorrow.

My car has likely been a little below the Low line for months or even years before I topped it up this past weekend. You'll be fine. :)

We got our 2014 CX5 6 years ago next month, with around 58k miles, and now it's got about 128k miles. I've never done anything with the coolant in that time. Noticed it was below the L mark on the reservoir (radiator still full) so I picked up some Mazda OEM coolant and filled it to in between...

Just below the "fill" line? Do you mean the "full" line? You don't really want it at the Full line when cold, because it needs the space in the tank for expansion. Ideally you want it just above the "cold" or "low" line, or about halfway in between, when the engine is cold. The check the...

You could easily go 6,000+ miles on each oil fill. Save some cash! After all, that's sort of what these reports are for, right?

no kidding, IMHO piano black trim is one of the WORST trends in automotive design right now.
