Not to say it really matters, but somehow I can see those “aftermarket” drain plug aluminum washers are a bit smaller on outer diameter comparing to the real OEM aluminum washer.
What have you done to your CX-5 today?

I didn't buy these so I can't comment.
I bought these below but they haven't arrived as of yet, so I can't comment on the size.

Ha, I thought you got that 50x pack you posted earlier. $2 more for 30 more aluminum washers seems to be a much better deal ⋯

Yes, you're right, it's a much better deal! I didn't come across the 50 pack till after I ordered the 20 pack.
Both my MX and CX use the same maintenance parts and at the rate I'm accumulating miles on my cars (less than 5k/year. I have 2 other vehicles that need to be driven as well) those 20 crush washers should last me for ~10 years of Mazda oil changes.

Depends on where it's going. I've always tacked on drain plug washers with other parts orders whenever I need them.
Added the mazda front and rear bumper trim and mazda rain deflectors for the windows.
Hey nice job! are those rain deflectors the OEM mazda ones or wethertech or some other brand are they the in-channel ones? and also have you have any issues witht them i wanna add them but a bit undecided beacuae i see mixed results i hear the in-channel ones can cuase issues wih the window motors and because if the tight fight can cause the window to crack , any info helps

Which product did you use? Looks like they have a few on the Sonax website.

I went with some guys here in NE with a product called Ceramic Pro. They recommend me to use Sonax Brilliant Detailer and avoid things like pollen, tree sap, bird poop, so on n so forth while still on the curing process. Honestly I had better results using a polymer detailer from the chemical guys.

I'm guessing that only applies to 2016.5+ models? Or whatever year they did the interior refresh?

If you’re referring to the Android Auto / Apple CarPlay upgrade kit for infotainment system, yes it’s only available for newer Mazda Connect infotainment system starting from 2016 CX-5.

Nice! That’s the first time slip I’ve ever seen for a CX-5. What was in the left lane? Have you seen/ordered the JB4 tuner for the 2.5t from Burger Motorsports?

It was an old CRX..that car had a terrible launch. Yes, I have ordered a JB4 and waiting on it to arrive!

Dang, I wish I could remember what my Integra GSR 1/8 times were, just as a comparison. Best time I ever got out of it in the 1/4 was 15.01 @ 92.xx MPH.

You took your CX-5 to the drag strip? hahahaha! The reaction time was okay. Did you use the e-hold and just hit the gas?

LOL. Left a few cars in the dust with the grocery getter
. I just put it in sport mode, tried to brake boost by holding the brake pedal and gave a tiny bit of gas. Since the torque already comes down low i figured it didn't need much.

To each their own I guess...
