I tried those suggestions with success. Kind of winged it since I lost my instructions, having taken them out to read them months ago when I bought the 9, and just now got around to installing them while changing the oil the first time. If anyone has the pdf of those instructions, there is a...

Just did my first change w/ Mobil1 5W20. I used the motorcraft FL400S filter too. For the record, mine looked like the photo posted by waxip5. But then we live in the same county, but I bought mine at Wallymart. Either way, it worked fine. Wish this thing held 5 US quarts instead of 5.2q...

Yes, it varies by state. I had a VW lemon lawed. Usually there are very specific requirements, and time periods involved. Like 3 times in the shop for the exact same issue within x months, or x number of days in the shop total in the fixt x months. Some states have a requirement that you...

I had 55 and 65 length bars on hand. The 55s were just long enough, but looked dumb. The 65s were too long so I cut them with a metal cut-off blade on my miter saw. I don't remember what the length was and there is a lot of ice outside right now for me to check. I think it was 58 to 60ish...

Simple? I have been holding off on trying because the instruction for either the front or rears says I need nippers and have to cut tabs in the metal. Are you guys saying that isn't necessary? It also says you need a certain primer, and I didn't know what that was. Did you guys do that?

yes to rails and guards no to the factory bars. Add thule bars and a fairing to the factory rails. And no I am not a roof rack fanatic. I hate the look of them on the MDX for instance, but others have agreed with me that the CX-9 needs them. (wife just chimed in with: "Oh God, yes." when she...

I see the acura in the front on view, but no where else. I see hummer in the rear view but no where else. The side view reminds me of a pathfinder... Overall ---> (headshake (blarf)

Thanks Max. Turns out my one problem with initial quality wasn;t a factory problem, but a problem with the port-installed towing package.

Well, they had it another two days. Were finally able to see the fault happen. Traced it through the brake system to the towing package wiring. Seems a connector fir the tow package was incorrectly hooked up in the port when the vehicle arrived in the US, and was intermittently grounding...

Update on TCS Off / DSC The first time I had it in, dealer had it for 2 days, and replaced the common yaw sensor after consulting with Mazda. (There were 7 different codes.) Both lights were back on steady that same day. Dealer has now had it the second time and has seen 10 different codes...

Read the Edmunds review of both. Read Car and Driver too. This got SUV of the year for some good reasons, IMO. It does not drive like a minivan. The Honda Pilot drives like a minivan. There is also another MT review I read where the CX-9 took first place in a shootout comparison with the...

So can the doors be programmed to autolock at ignition or when a mph is reached while driving? Our VW does this, and my wife wants it on the CX-9 if possible. We are taking back to service today for the TCS Off/DSC light problems and want to ask for the autolock at distance and autolock while...

If you want to spend the dough, Zaino is excellent polish. I don't know if the leather conditioner is better, but their exterior products are fantastic.

2nd for lexol.

Something else to consider with the long boxes: The CX-9 rails only extend just into the moon-roof area. All boxes have certain places or zones where the crossbars need to attach to the box. The forward zone of the long box may be beyond the range of the furthest roof rail crossbar position...

OMF, Thanks. I have tried that, but I don't have either light flashing, and they both come on at ignition with the other panel lights and then go off. After a bit of driving, they both come on and stay on until the ignition is turned off. Thanks ZoomFive, I'll mention it to them when I...

It is true that the data comes from the same one or two sources, but no navi unit producer uses all of the POI data. There might be upwards of 20 million POIs in the US, but most manufacturers include from 1.5 up to 6 or 7 million of them, so missing at least 75% or so. Some are missing...

The only reason I didn't go with the GT assist package, is because we couldn't stand the Mazda Navi. I got spoiled on Honda Navi. Worlds better. Even a Garmin Nuvi or Magellan Maestro is better, IMO. POIs were terrible on the Mazda. I'm shopping for a navi now for the 9. Probably end up...

I went to ems. The 20% Thule sale ended yesterday thought I think. They had both the 1600 and 1800 in stock. Along with a 1700 and a 2100. You can check online to see what they have in stock. REI is great, but full price. They have boxes in stock and knowlegable sales people. They will...
