2017~2024 CX-5 Mechanical Review

Interesting mechanical review of the CX-5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWNNE7oXnL4
This speedkar99 channel definitely has impressed me (and it was done with a tooth brush?). Should mention problematic cylinder deactivation on the 2.5L NA Mazda added since 2018 MY. It’s a complicate system with a couple of major problems, cracked cylinder head and failing switchable hydraulic lash adjusters, started showing up with higher mileage however they’re rare.


Did you know that the transmission has an old fashioned dipstick?
I believe most DIY members in this forum know there’s a dipstick on transmission and it’s been discussed many times here. Keep in mind it isn’t like a dipstick for any other liquids checking the level, you still need some capable OBDII scanner monitoring the ATF temperature in order to check the correct ATF level with the dipstick.
