    0w20 or 5w20

    So where is Mobil1 Extended on this for 5-20? I know years ago I read that the Mobil1 Extedened were true full synthetics, does this apply to the 5-20? I live in South Florida and will not ever drive in super cold climates so I figure I would try out 5-20 cause startsup tend to be a tad noisy...

    I only pulled the fuel pump fuse and coil fuse. I guess that would explain it :) Thank you!

    Compression Test post cylinder crack (2018 CX-5 NA)

    Ok So back in January I had the head replaced due to the crack. Today I decided to do compression test. The first try with cylinder 1 I got 152 then i did the others 142, 140, 130. I went back and redid them again and #1 went to 135. Is this cause of some variable timing of the valves? End...

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    On a more + note, i did my first oil change since Mazda replaced my head in January and I did not see anything shiny in the drained oil. Just cheap dino oii. I will check again in a few months just before warranty is out and I might do a compression test too. Just cause they replace the head...

    Rear seat motion sickness (CX-30 vs CX-5)?

    Hi, I am hoping to find someone who has or had both the CX-5 and CX-30 and has someone who spent time in the rear seat of both. My teen tends to get a little queasy from my spirited driving style in our 2018 CX-5. I am very interested in moving to a turbo ( i know the boost might make things a...

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    Mazda did good will with the RX-8s back in the day when they added an extended warranty to the original. Maybe they will here too.... Do I need to report my repair anywhere to make sure Mazda is not just trying to bury the problem? It also seems like legally they should have to honor it no...

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    32,000 miles. Has any else noticed an almost imperceptible shake now and then at idle. i could just be insanely perceptive. I know my wife and daughter do not feel it. I just worry that something else could be damaged buy the head crack.

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    Dont worry about doing maint yourself. I only went once to mazda for oil change since well, it takes less time to just do it myself then drive to mazda. Even though they offered free oil changes. Also we were not going to have people in our car during covid. They can not void warranty just...

    What did you pay for your CX-30?

    When you say you paid MSRP was that including dealer fees and value fees or do they throw that on top? I have a dealer offering to know off a grand from MSRP but then they have $999 dealer fee and $600 MVM fee. Of course there are taxes and DMV fees also.

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    My 2018 touring cracked in dec 2022, at least that is when it spewed oil everywhere, everything under the car and entire rear was covered in oil droplets. Took over a month to get it to stop smelling after they replaced the entire head. Leak was in the back of the head, driver side. 31000...

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    so just dropped it off and it drove here fine for about 25 min highway drive, then we stopped in dealership and it started to shake at idle so whatever it is just got worse. I would assume some oil got into combustion chamber and causing misfiring. No loaner today but they will get us one...

    I do have warranty. Waiting to talk to Mazda and praying they have the head and loaner. Can they try to say it is just the gasket.

    2.5 NA Cracked Cylinder Head with Oil leaking...How common is this?

    So our na 2018 started smoking. Made a huge mess of entire rear of car. Added a quart over about 500 miles of driving. After I cleaned up oil, I ran engine a few seconds again and seems oil starts in the area I circled. Is there anything else that might leak oil in this area? I had to top off...
