    Oil change on a leased car - flexible

    I leased a cx-5 last February (1st time leasing) so having dealerships do maint on my vehicle is something completely new to me as I typically do my own. I set the oil change setting to flexible as I normally do and I'm off. I don't beat on the car at all, just mostly an errand runner. Last...

    Infotainment won't save phone settings.

    I have a '18 Cx5 and since day 1 of owning it, I can not get the Bluetooth settings to stay at "phone only" vs "audio only". I miss notifications while driving as I typically use the radio and phone sounds don't come across when using the radio If I set it to phone only, turn off the car and...

    What's the deal with the traffic option?

    Am I missing something with the Navigation? When I select traffic, I'm only given the option to see historical traffic trends.. That's useless. Does the traffic option only work when something out of the ordinary (crash, construction...) happens?

    Back in the game. 2015 Mazda3

    I'm back into the Mazda family! I had a MSP a while ago, traded it in for a soccer mom SUV, and now I'm back to Mazda. I picked up a '15 Mazda3 i Grand Touring 5-door with 9 miles on it. I have some question that I'm hoping you all can help me with. I was playing around with the maintenance...

    What is this setup worth?

    I've been out of the audio game for quite some time now so I have no idea the cost of anything anymore. I pulled my system out of my MSP before I sold it last month and I'm thinking of selling it, I was hoping you all could maybe "appraise" it for me. Everything listed works perfectly, it's all...

    Tranny pressure?

    I have a leak coming out of my left axle, when I went under the tranny to crack open the filler nut to check the fluid level I heard a hissing noise coming past the threads. I don't know if it was air rushing in or out, I checked the fluid again a few days later and the same thing happened. Is...

    Clutch Chatter?

    Every once in a while when I start in 1st from a complete strop my car will shake a hair before the clutch is completely released, it feels just like wheel hop. Usually this happens once or twice then doesn't happen again for quite a while. Yesterday I was starting from a stop and it was the...

    Did I just join the LSD failure club?

    I know I've seen the symptoms of blown LSDs on here, tried to search but I keep getting an error. I was backing out of a parking lot, everything seemed normal until I tried to put the tranny into 1st, it would not budge, no matter what. I shut the car off, put it into reverse and pulled it into...

    Smells like a water leak. No visible leak

    After the all the rain (over 7 inches and counting) from this tropical storm (or anytime we get large amount of rain) my car smells like musty mildew inside like water has leaked in. I've checked over everything and don't see any leaks or feel any water. All 5 windows are perfectly sealed, trunk...

    Rip in seat

    I've had a small on the bottom of my drivers seat for a while now and it's slowly getting bigger. I don't want it to continue to grow. Does anyone have any tips on what to do? I don't think glueing it down will do anything. Should I cut the edges to keep it from snagging?

    Using SSAFC with MAC

    I'm wanting to add a few more upgrades to my MSP but I don't want to do it until I get a SSAF but I have a MAC and was told that it can not be tuned with a MAC. Does anyone here own just a MAC and if so what do you do?

    Proper plug gap

    Out of curiosity. I thought I read that the factory plugs gap is 0.028" - 0.032". The plugs (NGK zfr6f-11) I bought for the engine are gapped to .44. Which is correct?

    Sound higher and lowers...

    I've been having this problem for a while but it is finally getting on my nerves. This only happens when I listen to the radio (That I've noticed). The sound seems as though it will randomly move from all 4 speakers and 2 subs in the back to maybe just the right side or louder on the left or...

    Irractic idle out. Came from nowhere

    My MSP has been running fine, parked it last night then jumped back in it the next evening and the engine is idling (and sounds) like a misfire. If I hit throttle it still happens. The CEL did blink a few times but never stayed illuminated. I'm pretty sure it is the plugs but it's dark and cold...

    Removing Caliper. Any tricks to the 8mm hex bolt?

    I started on my front right caliper, I'm taking it off to put new rotors on. I'm trying to break loose the 8mm hex nut but I can not get it to budge. I've tried liquid wrench, air tools, even a breaker bar on the wrench, and it bent the wrench. Any ideas?

    Where do you get your brakes?

    My rear rotors are pretty warped, I'm looking to get all 4 rotors. Slotted & drilled or just drilled. I'm not looking for anything high end like Brembo. Anyone recommend a place to get brakes at a decent price?
