My daughter lives in Salt Lake City where the air quality has been awful due to smoke from fires and the geography of SLC. She drives a 2010 Mazda 3 2.5L with about 86K miles. She called me a couple of days ago and said the car was running pretty rough and almost stalling at stop lights. As a...

I had used the Mazda Moly oil in my CX-5 from new until I learned on here that the Idemitsu Zepro Eco Medalist was actually the exact same oil. I started using that instead because it was available in a 5 quart jug for around the same price (and sometimes less) that the Mazda branded individual...

So I read this review and thought heck, I'm the lazier type of wash/wax guy so I might as well give it a try. Didn't find it at my local Walmart so I looked online. It was around $25 most places, but Advance Auto had it for $12.74 (same size - 26 oz - as everyone else) plus free shipping if the...

I thought I'd post my experience with these tires. I bought these tires (Yokohama YK740 GTX, 225/55R19 99V, 740 A A, 60,000 Miles) 2 years ago at Discount Tire to replace the Toyo A23 OEM tires. I have a dedicated set of snow tires/rims, so both the Toyos and the Yokos are summer only tires for...

Can't say that I'm a fan! Back window had an ad for a woman realtor.

When I needed to replace the 19" tires on my 2014 GT (AWD), I decided that I wanted to stay with the OEM size (225/55/19) AND the OEM speed rating ("V"). As everyone knows, there aren't too many tires around in that size! I chose the Yokohama YK740 GTX which is sold only at Discount Tire and...

In case anyone wants to know what your CX-5 will look like after driving 3,100 miles in 7 days through Minnesota, North Dakota, Saskachewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Montana and back, see below! Ive got some cleaning to do! (wow) Averaged 27.4 mpg for the trip with posted speeds ranging from...

https://youtu.be/mPyg3ilw3KU I thought this was a very interesting video comparing the same tire in 3 different wheel sizes (17, 18 & 19) on the same car on the same track on the same day.

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/12/09/national-insurance-crime-bureau-investigates-mystery-device-us/ No info in the article, but I wonder if our CX-5s are vulnerable. Article indicates device "worked on cars with keyless remotes and push to start ignitions." Sounds like us...

Got new tires on Monday. Soon after got a buzzing noise alert and TPMS light came on. Pushed the reset button and all was/is good. Drove from MN to NY on Tuesday/Wednesday. Toward the end of the trip heard a strange "bonging" noise about three times. Consists of 3 short "bongs" in a row. It is...

Some folks mentioned that they don't get the Zoom Zoom Magazine from Mazda. Here is a link to an electronic version of the current issue (I got an email from them with this info): http://links.mkt2473.com/servlet/MailView?ms=ODc0NjY5NAS2&r=MTMwMjUzMTQ0MDI2S0&j=OTAwNDI5NDQ0S0&mt=1&rt=0

Whoa, this is something I did not know! Very good to know here in MN where the mosquito is our unofficial state bird! https://www.yahoo.com/autos/how-something-you-spray-on-your-kids-can-melt-your-128334848277.html

I just got back yesterday from a 3,000 mile trip. As part of the trip I drove the entire length (496 miles) of the Blue Ridge Parkway from south to north. What a blast that road is. The road itself is in great shape and very well maintained because it is part of the National Park system. In...

Had my oil changed at the dealer yesterday. I have it changed there because I get free oil changes for 3 years. When finished, they informed me that they had installed a new stainless steel oil plug and gasket under warranty because they were having issues/problems with the original aluminum...

The clock in my 2014 GT w/Tech is unreadable by me for 2 reasons: (1) it sits too low and, (2) it's got red numerals and I am red/green colorblind (which means that the clock looks blank in the daytime and VERY hard to see at night). So I wanted a better solution since it's the only clock in...
