My 2016 Cx-5 sport has Bridgestone Ecopia's All Season that have about 45k on them and five years old. With the heat in South Florida, it's usually hard to get more than 50k on tires. What tires would be recommended for the 2016 CX-5 sport?

Just bought a 21 CX-5 Sport with 19k from a Honda dealership. When I try to press the button to start it shows "Key not detected" and then "Key Fob Battery Low. Hold Key Close to Start Button" So I was able to start the car by keeping the key close to the start button and pressing into it...

I was looking in purchasing a 22 CX-5 sport 2.5 select package at a Mazda dealer in Miami. It's certified car with about 8,312 miles on it. But my one concern on it is that the only oil change that was done on it was on 1/26/2024 at the dealership. The car was purchased back in 4/21/2022. At...

I just ended up replacing my Costco Interstate Group 35 battery on my CX-5 which was about 2.5 years old that I had got from Costco on a warranty replacement. So, no additional warranty left. The battery was apparently leaking per the towing service guy. It was occasionally acting up and the...

The key fob battery had died after about two years of usage. So, replaced the CR2025 battery about a month or so ago with a Duracell. Yesterday, the key fob would not work. Had to replace it again. What could cause the battery to die so fast? Has anyone experienced this issue?

Went in for an oil change on my '16 CX-5 with about 80k. I asked them if you have to do a transmission drain and fill on these cars. The dealer recommended a transmission fluid exchange which is a flush according to them. They also recommended that it should be done every 60k. However, I...

I am noticing that every once in a while, on my 16 CX-Sport, that my preset radio stations are lost and also the time is reset. My battery is a Costco Interstate group 35 640 battery. Car starts fine and no problems cranking. The battery was replaced back in Jule of 2021. Has anyone noticed...

My '16 CX-5 sport rear view mirror sometimes comes off the sliding clip when I am putting a sunshade on. I notice there seems to be some sort of screw that probably needs to be tightened to secure it. I can manually slide the mirror back on the clip but maybe that screw needs to be tightened...

I live in sunny south Florida. My '16 CX-5 Sport is a sonic silver color. The hood just doesn't have the shine anymore. I got the vehicle detailed a few months ago and the guy used a claybar and then waxed. But the hood just doesn't have the shine. This was even before the detail. I...

My '16 CX-5 Sport license plate screws are rusted badly. One of them I can't even insert a flat head screwdriver into the slot. What size do I replace them with? Are they available like at Advanced Auto or Autozone?

I have a 2016 CX-5 sport 2.5L skyactiv with almost 74k that will soon be due for a spark plug change at 75k. Mazda requires the NGK Spark Plug ILKAR7L11 from Mazda with the Mazda branding. The Mazda version of the plug is significantly more expensive vs the NGK that you get at the local parts...

I have noticed like two time this month, that the infotainment system on my '16 CX-5 Sport has had the time reset and also my preset radio stations randomly. Not sure how this happened. I have not removed the battery negative cable or anything like that. Has anyone experienced a similar issue...

I was driving around in my '16 CX-5 sport today and listening to the radio. All of a sudden at a traffic stop light the display on the entertainment system went out, but I could hear the audio. I tried to play around with the wheel knob in the center console, but nothing happened. Pulled in...

Last December my mechanic replaced the leaking hydraulic tensioner and serpentine belt on my CX-5 sport at about 64k miles with Mazda parts. He did not replace the water pump belt. So, at 75k when I have to get my spark plugs changed, I am going to ask him to change out the water pump belt...

My 2016 CX-5 Sport has almost 70k.. I believe at 75k I have to change the spark plugs. Mazda recommends two types of spark lugs in the owners manual. One of them is PE5R-18-110. Can I use the NGK spark plugs part # ILKAR7L11? Apparently they are engineered to OE specifications. Are they the...

My 2016 Cx-5 Sport 2.5L automatic has about 67K on it. When do I need to change the Automatic Transmission fluid? Is it a drain and fill or flush for this model? Also, do I stick with the Mazda transmission fluid?

I noticed that my CX-5 sport license plate tag screws are very rusty. I live in South florida and had bought it used about five years back. Do these bolts rust so easily? Where can I get replacement ones?

I just got my 2016 CX-5 Sport leaking hydraulic tensioner and drive belt replaced at 60,200 miles. It was starting to make squealing belt noise every now and then under slow acceleration. So after the replacement the noise seemed to go away for a few hundred miles. However, this weekend I...

I have a '16 CX-5 Sport with the 2.5L skyactiv engine. What is the oil change interval? Is it six months or 5k or twelve months or 10k? The dealer suggests every four to five months or so. I live in sunny South Florida and drive about 20 miles a day. Roughly put about 5k miles every six...

I did an oil change at Tires plus last weekend. They used Pennzoil Platinum synthetic 0w-20 oil with a Pennzoil PZ-37 oil filter. My vehicle has about 57k. I have normally done my oil changes at the Mazda dealer which use castrol 0w-20, but these days they are charging way too much for...
