What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[Pipemajor]

Lol, that's kind of cheap they would charge you to upgrade the drain bolt which is really for their convinience. Tbh, after so many times it should be replaced anyways as it gets knocked. But yea, the hex is a bad design.

Yes and I noted that on the survey from Mazda USA. The national folks responded, saying my experience was NOT what they hoped to achieve and asked if I had received a followup call from the dealer (evidently they've spoken to them). I waited another 3 business days before responding I've had no followup. I also noted that this dealer waited just until the 36 month warranty expired before they decided to 'upgrade' the drain plug and there is no recall to suggest it needs to be replaced. Only my 3rd oil service on the car (I've only got 15k miles) so it certainly shouldn't be chewed up to any degree.

Took 3 days for my cabin air filter to arrive from an Illinois Mazda dealer which cost me $30 incl. tax and shipping. Local dealer wanted $60 to replace the filter which is a 2 minute job for those customers who know how to get behind the glove box.

I love my CX-5 but not looking forward to using this dealer to service it.

Changed the oil and filter. Easy peasy.

What kind of oil and oil filter you’re using?

OEM oil and filter.

Bought a case of oil and 4 filters last year. I'm lucky in that the CX and the MX use the same oil and filter.

Same here. And I have plenty of OEM Tokyo Roki oil filters in my stock too!

Dang! That's a great big bucket of suck right there!

Did something just fall onto the hatch window or do you think it was a nefarious act? Looks big and heavy whatever did that.

Just did a 60k mile spark plug replacement.

Had to make a run mid-fix to the local Harbor Freight to get extra deep 14mm socket for plugs.

at first i thought the same thing but no. There are definite signs of forced entry and i lost an empty grocery bag.... yeah all that for that

 

[hal2]

I see the cargo cover so I'm guessing the grocery bag was not in sight?

Just installed this Wiechers front strut bar this weekend, works well and built like a tank, tightened up the already great handling of the CX-5.

The first thing in my mind when I saw the pictures of this Wiechers front strut bar is do you need to remove the bar to replace the battery and to open the brake fluid reservoir cap?

I bought it off eBay, came direct from Germany.

Access to the brake fluid reservoir and battery are no problem.

Well, after hitting Bambi semi recently, I decided to replace my front emblem.
