    Whistle noise after warm up

    Whistling trans is a common issue on this sight. Appears that a bearing goes bad in the trans. I had a trans replaced on my '14 CX5 back in the day for this issue under warranty.

    Dead Battery Can Affect Fuel Gauge Reading?

    It's exactly why I change my battery every 4 years regardless. Newer vehicles are very fussy with voltage.

    Signs of a Blown Head Gasket

    It's a question I always ask when I see any brand out there with those miles with no trans maintenance. Highway or city?

    Signs of a Blown Head Gasket

    Just a comment here, and I see it all the time. High mileage transmissions with no maintenance, but you have to ask what kind of miles were they? Highway or city? There's an obvious difference with more shifting and internal movement in city driving, more chance for wear and I see the OP said...

    Switched to 5W-30 from 0W-20

    Right, oil pumps are mechanical, at least for the 2016 year that I know of. Nothing programmed there.

    P0304 Error. Help tried everything!

    Not to get off topic, but as far as this video goes, had the owner followed the recommended change schedule, this wouldn't have happened. 140k miles is way too many for original plugs. These plugs also act as a sensor for the vehicle.

    Manual says flush cooling system with water, but no coolant concentrate?

    Toyota recommends flushing with the coolant, drain, fill, repeat, and it's 50% diluted from the bottle. That's probably what I'd do with my Mazda. Expensive? Probably, but takes the guess work out.

    A reminder to run Top Tier fuel and avoid cheap gas

    They used to be on the Top Tier list a few years back. Maybe they figure it's not worth the dues payment.

    Who is switching to winter tires and steel wheels?

    Lol, those are the exact same ones I use on my Scion's winter wheels. Walmart specials at $32 a set. Can you post a picture of the whole car with those on?

    Who is switching to winter tires and steel wheels?

    I don't play road tag anymore. If someone gets too close I just pull over at the next available space and let them go. People don't learn the consequences of their actions until it's too late. I try not to be part of their scenario.

    Who is switching to winter tires and steel wheels?

    Yep, all-seasons are a poor substitute in slippery winter driving conditions. I've caught myself driving on icy back roads in the early dark morning hours for miles without realizing it a few times.

    Ed, any particular reason you traded the '22 or did you just want to treat yourself?

    Who is switching to winter tires and steel wheels?

    That is exactly why I stay off the highway during bad snowstorms, I take back roads. People who don't have experience in snow do that crap. Especially the influx of new drivers every year.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    So, what are you actually experiencing here? "Has lots of play", is this some thing they noticed? Problem description is vague, I'd get a second opinion. It may somebody's unprofessional opinion.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    As been said many times on here, no such thing as a lifetime fluid. ALL fluids should be changed at one time or another.

    I agree, more pressure adds stability to a soft tire IMO.
