    What 5W30 oil brand do you use in your CX-9?

    For 99.9% of the motoring community, it really doesn't make any difference what brand of oil is used as long as it meets Mazda specs. This is a lot to do about nothing IMHO.

    What 5W30 oil brand do you use in your CX-9?

    If you got it at 24k and it never had an oil change, it seems you have done well to get to 90k without issues.

    Goodbye, thank you and who wants a free tire?

    I think he only has one tire to get rid of not a whole set.

    Battery Upgrade to Group 24F?

    If it fits and has higher capacity, why not?

    System Disabled due to poor outward visibility?

    That is pretty extreme. My system has never done what you are experiencing. You may have a bad sensor.

    This one issue would make you switch makes?

    System Disabled due to poor outward visibility?

    Yep. It happens. Very random event on our 21.

    2017~2025 CX-5 17" vs 18" vs 19" Wheels

    18" will be a slightly better ride with a taller sidewall than the 19", but you will lose some handling ability in trade. Only you can decide what you are willing to give up.

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Well, we have evidence of other manufacturers who have done it and backtracked- see the 26 Subaru Outback which now ditched the huge screen and added physical controls for the everyday things. There isn't a way to make a touchscreen which works like physical controls. You will have to look at...

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Other than the big screen, I agree. The screen is a big miss IMHO. I seriously would not buy the car (and didn't wait for it because of the screen and the powertrain). I bought a Telluride a couple of weeks ago. Would have considered a CX-90 if I could have found a Turbo S to look at/drive.

    I did that with my Tacoma.

    Rear hatch glass shattered suddenly for no reason

    Agreed, but it still breaks into pieces and can hit you in the process. Unlike the windshield.

    Rear hatch glass shattered suddenly for no reason

    This is something that happens with glass sometimes. It can not be 100% avoided unless they use laminated glass all around (maybe you advocate for this?). If you knock a glass over on a granite countertop it will likely shatter and you may cut your hand on it. Is the manufacturer of the glass...

    Rear hatch glass shattered suddenly for no reason

    It seems to be really random IMHO. I had '19 and '21 CX-5s and drove them for a total of 57k miles. Never had an issue. I see this issue on the forum from time to time, but it doesn't seem to be a rampant problem in the CX-5 anyway (otherwise there wouldn't be such long gaps between...

    Blower motor rattles. Worth a trip to the dealer?

    Plus, I would expect to see others popping up here saying, yes, I live in AZ, NV, NM and I had the same issue. There is something off on your car. I felt the same way about the front brakes on my '21. It had a repeated issue with a brake shudder which did not happen on my 19 with smaller front...

    Blower motor rattles. Worth a trip to the dealer?

    Is it common? The OP and you are the first two mentions of it I know of. I had my '19 for 20k and my '21 for 37k and neither had one go bad.

    Blower motor rattles. Worth a trip to the dealer?

    Really strange you would have two motors fail in such a short time. I mean, a 2023 car is on its third motor- and the second one was installed less than 6mths ago. I wonder if there is something off in the housing, or somewhere else, that makes the motor go bad. I will be interested to see if...
