Just completed my first ATF drain and fill. 3 1/2 quarts. Pretty easy.
What have you done to your CX-5 today?

How many miles and what was the condition of the fluid you drained?

71,200 miles. Fluid was kinda like a brownish color with perceivable greenish tint.
I took a sample as well to send in for analysis.

Cool. Cannot recall a time someone took their FZ oil for analysis north of 70k miles. Really interested in the report.

Wrapped the piano black pieces in the car. Still have a few more to do, but happy to not have to worry about the pieces getting scratched and showing everything. And need an interior detail after looking at the pics.
Not bad at all

Yeah. I think I saw one someone did around 50k miles and the analysis thought it was closer to 26k miles in terms of its condition.
Will be sure to post when I get it back!
Do you have a link to the wrap you used? Was there a pdf for removal of the pieces?
I can't believe mine look after 3 months. Especially when nothing touches the center console besides a microfiber cloth during cleanings.
Thanks
Mine looks the same as it did when I bought it almost 4 months ago. Only dust particles appear on it and I clean it with a soft non-abrasive feather duster.
Here is the wrap I used.

Workshop manuals showing how to get the trim off:

The manuals show how to get the door panel off, but not really how to pop the switch panel off. That took a little bit to figure out, but it's essentially just tabs that you need to pop off and push it out of the top.
Mine wasn't too bad yet, but with kids and a dog I could see it getting worse. The window switch panel showed more wear than the center console. Cleaned with a microfiber cloth.

I've seen a LOT of reviews talk about how easy it is to scratch it. KBB says it will scratch just by LOOKING at it.
Laminate it and then no issues (wink)I've seen a LOT of reviews talk about how easy it is to scratch it. KBB says it will scratch just by LOOKING at it.
Thank you!

Got my carpets, rear cargo area, and seats shampooed for the first time since I've owned it lol.
