    RPM unstable when the AC is on

    when I bought the car. I notice the problem too. dealer said it's normal but mine is around 800-670 at idle when ac is on. now 60K miles on the car still like that. idle on parked it will keep jumping around that range. This car is a bit different from other cars that I owned before. other cars...

    ATF...Change or not?

    So at 60K I just did my first drain and fill. 3.8QT came out and I refill it with 4QT. That 0.2 QT is probably not gonna do anything. I don't feel any harm with my buttdyno anyways lol. I had to say after replacing the fluid. The car drives better as OE feels. (maybe it's all in my head) I...

    ATF...Change or not?

    Now, I know in Asia most shops and some dealerships would not recommend changing out Trans fluid after 150k km which is around 93k miles. The reason is gaps already happened in the transmission, draining out the old replace it with a new one might cause the gear to slip. I don't have proof of...

    CX-5 Reliability, cost of ownership and what's been done (personal experience)

    yes, they replaced it under warranty I didn't pay anything. should I do a drain and fill on coolant? I just read about FL22 yesterday. Also, I do have a lifetime powertrain warranty idk if they would consider this issue under powertrain

    CX-5 Reliability, cost of ownership and what's been done (personal experience)

    didn't know it can damage car paint I used a 40-degree tip so it should be safe. and I'm comparing the two cars because they are in the same price range. but yes i do agree german cars are more

    CX-5 Transmission: Drain and fill vs flush vs oil pan drop drain/fill?

    I can’t find any local independent shops that will do this for me lol. I think I might just have to do this myself. I don’t trust dealership much. They always over fill my engine oil. Can someone instruct me how to do drain and fill and how to check oil levels when I add the trans fluid back...

    CX-5 Transmission: Drain and fill vs flush vs oil pan drop drain/fill?

    Hello guys, I had 55000 miles on my 21 cx5 signature now all I have done to the car is engine oil/filter and basic maintenance stuff. With the exception of spark plugs changed at 45000 miles. I have been calling around the dealership asking for AWD fluid change and transmission fluid...

    2017~2024 How to improve the CX-5 driving feel?

    honestly, I do not think it's tire issue. because the Michelin CC2 sidewall is stiff it should corner ok. just want to make the turn better so the kids and passengers feel thrown around inside the car.

    2017~2024 How to improve the CX-5 driving feel?

    cornering is my biggest concern with the CX5. I upgrade my wheel to a 19x8.5 and 245-sized tire and somehow turning feels worse. Passengers including me feel like thrown around when I turn at the light or turn in general. And yes I'm comparing the Cx5 to my 2022 Audi Q5. that car turns much...
