I spoke to him and he completely agrees. 2 points (I showed him this thread). He said 100% correct. Only thing he mentioned was he was forced to review the condition of brake lines AFTER he changed brake fluid but still found not good (braking). That is when he is seeing vehicles CX5 2014 and...
Very very little. I'd say around 2 tablespoons. BUT: It happens every time I leave the car for +2 days (+48 hrs). 1 more thing: I have the car in the same spot always. This never happened till now. I'd say started from around last week of December.
Due to pandemic, car is parked for long duration in NJ cold. When it gets really cold I am noticing some oil underneath my car. As out of warranty need advice. I found a TSB 01-014/15. I wanted to first take it to my trusted mechanic but wanted to know if anyone else faced this issue and how to...
This is really good. My hunch seems correct. Here are 2 links for TSBs on this:

I have the list of TSBs applicable for my CX-5 2016 and find some of them may be applicable for me. If I take it to the dealership and mention the issue and assuming they find the TSB will they (Mazda) cover the issue? Or should I even give them the TSB #?
Metal or braided type - as per my SA has its own issues. He said even top end performance cars like Porche, Massarati, etc. are using rubber hoses. The issue is flexibility and metal/braided lines tend to last less and fail at the fittings' end ; unless some really high-end lines which has...
As I mentioned in some threads the service manager for Mazda happens to know be a close acquaintance of mine. He used to be gear head and you might have actually seen him in one of the F&F movies even! Anyways he has always given me good advice. 1 thing he mentioned is he has started to see few...
After almost 20,000 miles: update:
FANTASTIC. Still no road noise, recent (3 weeks back snow) ZERO slippage. FANTASTIC. The fuel mileage though ahem: got 22 avg when in winter (TOYO) used to get avg 23.
Whenever I wanted to store a location I went to favorites - add section and added location.
I was checking something and kept the favorites button pressed for few seconds. Suddenly a message appeared in my screen saying location XXX saved as favorite. Wow .. learned something new yesterday!!
My driver side mirror assembly got hit and basically warrants a replacement. The good news is the mirror is intact. It has heated option, signal and has blind monitor. Everything still functions including the motor but the plastic housing broke and the bottom part clipped off and broke. Now I...
Can I clone a new not yet locked to any vehicle SD card containing N.A. maps (I bought one from ebay) or I must first lock it to my vehicle (+65 miles, etc.) and then only will be able to clone it? Just bought a BHP1 66 EZ1N from by Mazda service guy for 45 USD. He said that's the latest there...
Dunno why unable to edit the above post! Anyways on one hand, a new SD card having new contacts so that's why its worked. But at the same time after tearing down the original card its some Chinese company which Google searching seems affiliated to Sandisk. The service manager told me he has not...
Hi - after having got the Dexol (as recommended by the original @Buzzman12 post) and completing 3 rounds of cleaning things improved a bit but continues to be extremely sluggish still. After an exhaustive search and subsequently a discussion with the service manager in the local Mazda he...
I think I'll go ahead and purchase and try DeoxIT D100L-2DB Brush Applicator. I have had varied level of success with what I used elsewhere so can't consider what I used as "reliable". Thank you for the original thread @Buzzman12 . Seems this is indeed the best there is. And I have multiple...
