Has anyone experience pinging on your 2014 CX-5? I noticed clattering noise by accident when I was driving at night with my radio off. The noise happened only during acceleration or under heavy load. I took it to the dealer and they confirmed it. I always used 87 octane since the manual doesn't specify which grade to get. So the service advisor told me to use the middle grade from now on. It makes sense to go for higher grade since the compression ratio is 14. But I just wanna know how many of you have this issue. I googled and searched it here but it seemed like I'm the only one with this issue. Might be a good idea as well for yall to check this.
My tank still has plenty of 87 gas. I will wait until it is about half empty and put techron additive and fill it with middle grade gas.
