That's about it. One of our 2019 CX-5's forward, overhead map lights is out. Manual says merely, "LED 8." How do I find proper replacement with so little information? Thanks for any comments.

So we bought a new CX-5 NA in 2019, from salesman Jensen Thomas, at Foothills Mazda, Spokane, WA. Great guy; I'd buy from him anywhere. (I have NO business or personal ties with him). Then we continued all service through Foothills until we passed warranty. Service writers were Will and...

Thanks everyone. I feel a lot more confident now. And I think I will get the Costco battery.

Mazda dealer quoted me $260 to replace my battery in our 2019 CS-5. A bit high I think. Costo has Interstate Group 35's, 640CCA, for about $130. I've changed many auto batteries in my life, but I no longer trust myself to figure a, "keep alive," jumper plugged into cigarette lighter socket...

OK. This is sound like a lot more common sense. We live in a rural area. See, maybe, 2 cars a day by the place. It's 13 miles to nearest small town; 17 to next, larger, town of 1,400 population. For the past 60+ years I've maintained the habit of never starting a vehicle unless I'm going to...

I looked up a you tube on pulling that manifold and addressing valve carbon. One video said the subject car had only approx. 28,000km on it. And the manifold ports were almost entirely closed with carbon caking. !!!!!!!!!!! Why????? We bought our 2019 CX-5 new. Dealer has done...

Thanks, Logidad. I've kept hand written service notes in a glove box packet file for decades, on every rig I've owned. Surprising how often that comes in handy. Also keep mechanics paperwork in; house file. I've been using NAPA Gold filters. Yes, I'm getting all fluids from Mazda dealer...

Mazdiod2: Thank you. "Our," story is....I'm 81, wife a little younger but with decades long nuisance health issues. Obviously retired. Foreseeing many negative, costly events and attitudes in our Country, we got the Mazda. Skipped the turbo; no need for us. We live very rural; one or two...

Great tips ! Keep 'em coming. List: change dif. oil; brake fluid; maybe coolant; ATF. Plugs. Inspection.

We've gotten along pretty good with our dealer since buying our CX-5 new in 2019. They've done all the oil changes. I do the air filter and cabin filter, but nothing else. Dealer has tried to, "push-sell" us expensive, "maintenance," like dif. oil change, too early brake fluid flush, etc. We...

Thank you. Advice happily accepted.

I remember seeing something here a while back but can't remember the replies. My wife will be driving our 2019 CX-5 some tomorrow in snowy/rainy conditions. I know under the lower, left edge of the instrument panel, (left of steering wheel), there are 2 buttons. One turns off "TCS" and the...

Called dealer this morning and told him our CX-5 cleared it's own code. No CEL on at all now. Dealer said we didn't need to bring it in. If code returns, different matter. I think it's a coincidence that this happened 2 days after their LOF. A year ago when the did LOF and washed the car...

Thanks, everyone. I'll call the dealership tomorrow, Monday, morning, and tell them the lights went off. I have a good hunch they'll still tell me to come in to check code history on my Tuesday appointment. It's a fine idea, except for the 170 mile round trip.....when I have nothing else to...

Last Monday I had dealer do LOF service at 33,000 mi. Two days later while drifting into our little local town, the red oil pressure light came on. (Red "teapot") Right after the Check Engine amber light came on. Then teapot went off. Stopped; checked oil. Up full. Called dealer which is...

Thanks. Missed that....again... So Unobtainiam said, Switch the ignition ON. If the power window lock switch is in the unlock position, switch it to the lock position. Press and hold the front passenger's power window switch and rear left/right power window switches on the driver's door at...

Please remind me how to turn them off........... Off in winter seems like a good idea.

Good thread; thanks to all. Here's my position: Our 2019 CX-5 has yet to hit 30,000 miles. We have other cars to drive, so it's use is for longer trips, etc. We are retired so that helps, (except financially!!!!) I expect to drop my dealer for service work, and he's a 160 mile round trip...

Thank you all. Oh. LOF is an old, common way of saying, "lube, oil, filter." Began back when most rigs still had a lot of zerk grease fittings to, "lubed," with a grease gun.

Thank you. Called my Mazda dealer this afternoon....figured I'd get one more LOF from them. Now the $70 service is $90. I guess I'm now done with the dealer. Foothills Mazda, Spokane, WA
