    Mazda CX-5 (and other models) Oil Consumption TSB (WTF)

    To clarify, the oil was below the min mark when I checked it as soon as the low light came on. Oil showed halfway between the end of stick and min mark. I did check the oil level at first oil change and it was in the middle between min and max dots/holes. I dont believe I should be getting a...

    Mazda CX-5 (and other models) Oil Consumption TSB (WTF)

    Mine was manufactured April '21 so I am one of those affected. The TSB says VINs before September are affected so you should be safe. I'd still keep an eye on your oil consumption though if I were you because it is common for manufacturers to expand the dates at a later time and even if they...

    Mazda CX-5 (and other models) Oil Consumption TSB (WTF)

    Looks like I just started having this issue on my 21 CE AWD Turbo as soon as I hit 5k miles. The low oil light came on. More alarming is that I did my first oil change at 3,500 miles myself and put in 5.0 quarts so within 1,500 miles it consumed enough to trigger the light and when I checked...

    Brand new 2021 Mazda CX-5. Steering feels over sensitive?

    Try turning off lane departure/lane keep assist and see if that helps. I keep mine off because it's annoying.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Sorry, I meant ridiculously good! (In my opinion). It is audible inside the cabin with any heavier throttle input so I wouldnt recommend it to folks that are expecting the extra noise only during spirited driving. The extra noise is frequently there in day-to-day driving. I was expecting more...

    Installed the Corksport short ram intake. The sound of the turbo spooling up and wastegate noise is ridiculous! Attached an audio clip. This is with only 1/3 throttle from a stop.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    I'll try a full write up once I get around to installing, but for now I found a way to get that tricky second MAP sensor harness (sits on the passenger side of the intercooler) unplugged. No bumper removal necessary :) There is a small black shroud that sits in-between the front bumper and...

    Received the JB4 😎. Burger really stepped up the casing on the new JB4s. Top is for the CX-5 enclosed in nice billet aluminum enclosure. Bottom is the old plastic casing JB4 (from my Golf R) Not sure when I'll get around to installing. Probably in the next week or so when time permits.

    2017~2024 TCU recall # SSPC7 for 2021 CE Turbo AWD

    Ive booked an appointment with my local dealer to get this recall completed for the sole purpose I am concerned about potential battery drain if not done. I run a dashcam that has parking mode and last thing I want is the dealer blaming any electrical issue (if it arises), on that.

    It came with replacements nuts along with nord-lock conical washers so I used what was included.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Installed the strut bar, took ~25 minutes taking my time. I didnt have a torque wrench so just tightened best I could. Nothing is really obstructed by the bar. I wasnt expecting a huge difference after install, but I felt immediate improvement in the tightness of the handling and steering...

    2017~2024 TCU recall # SSPC7 for 2021 CE Turbo AWD

    You got an actual call from the dealer for this recall? Wow...either it's slow there or Mazda really wants to collect our driving habits (warranty purposes, some internal pilot program?, etc.) The world will never know..hmmm

    Had ordered a strut bar for my '21 AWD Turbo and it just came in. Havent installed yet but quality looks good (solid one piece, heavy, and powder coated). Best of all, it was cheap! Ebay link: Front Upper Suspension Strut Tower Bar/Brace For Mazda CX-5 2013-2020 | eBay
