    2016~2023 Tire Chain / Tire Cable / Snow Chain

    Purchased a set of SZ441 on Amazon. My current setup 20x9.5+25 255/50/20 I really wouldn't recommend putting on stock wheels due to how close the chain will be to the bump stop/strut assembly. Also the clearance to the wheel well liner is extremely close at full lock. I can barely squeeze my...

    2016~2023 Possible CX-9 Lowering Spring Option?

    I've been toying with the idea of swapping in a set of 2nd gen CX-5 springs but couldn't find a good set for a good price to try. Things I've considered... 1) CX-9s are roughly 600lb heavier than CX-5s so theorically 150lb/corner heavier which should squat a fair amount. 2) Strut towers, strut...

    2016~2023 Question: How to remove charge pipe connector from throttle body?

    I've only gone as far as removing the actual charge pipe off of the connector. As you can see the connector is locked to the throttle body. My goal is to remove it so I can gain access to TB for some cleaning. I've tried depressing the clip looking white plastic while twisting/pulling the...

    2016~2023 P0401

    If your car doesn't have any symptoms with CEL P0401 then very likely refer to the tsb that I have attached. The update of pcm is covered under fed emission warranty. I have 58k on the clock so I'm still within the powertrain and fed emission warranty. And since it's software issue, I have no...

    Oil Change Due Maintenance Message Can't Be Turned Off - TSB fix???

    I have a 2016 and I have turned all my reminders off. However, on every startup, the oil change due message would show. I tried searching the internet to see if there's a pedal dance method to turn it off and found out there's a TSB for other models such as the 2015/2016 3/6/CX-5. Anyone...
