Hello - I have a good mechanic. But one thing he told me I never did but suddenly remembered and asking here. This was in 2020 - October, due for an oil change (Schedule - flexible showed 20%). When I went to pick up my car, he asked about my latest driving habits. Due to Covid-19 I am working...

Due to recent snow was in the dealership. I saw a technician pouring this into definitely a 2017 CX-5. I see 0W-16 is just 4 points from recommended 0W-20 but after checking I see it's the same company who actually makes the Mazda oil and also this one seem to be GF-6B vs GF-5 and in my dummies...

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 #?

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...

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...

Now that the temperatures have dropped, my Infotainment center is acting weird. This used to happen during warranty period too but now I am kicking myself for ignoring it. It got terribly worse now. As long as the temp outside is low (near 4C / 40F) my infotainment screen do not come up and...

Hi, Someone gifted me with CURT 56310 and I quickly installed it and call me a dumbo - didn't read the instruction manual fully. Came to realize that I need to run a wire to the battery! Its cold and windy and hate to jack up the car and route the power (black) cord fiddling with that grommet...
