I called the service advisor and can confirm they will be using Mazda FZ transmission fluid and Mazda SG1 gear oil.I hope that your shop uses the correct fluids...

My wife has been complaining about hers. Did yours exhibit problems while driving? I had assumed that it would not, given the touch screen is disabled (while moving).Removed and replaced the faulty centre display monitor. It took me around 50-60 minutes to do it by myself after watching some YouTube videos. No more ghost touch screen for me for a while
Looked at them until I realized they still have a timing belt.We traded our ‘22 Signature on a 2026 Honda Passport Trail Sport…The CX-5 was an amazing vehicle but it was time for a change, which we do every 3-4 years.

I bought a set of these for my 2017 CX-5 back in December and have been very happy with them: Smooth and quiet, handle well plus I notice an mpg improvement as well.Need new tires. Ordered a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's on Tuesday night. Get them on next Wednesday.
Once you get some miles on them and a feel for these tires let me know what you think. I may get the same Conti's I have again. Never had Pirelli's before.Need new tires. Ordered a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's on Tuesday night. Get them on next Wednesday.
How many times have you changed plugs and what is the mileage on the car?Ignition coils -- Installed new set (4ea, OEM ignition coil). The car had thrown a P0300 code and a check-engine light. Noticed rough idling, idling at lower than normal speed, some hesitation when accelerating away from stops. Last time I changed spark plugs, I didn't change the coils at the same time (which I didn't think would be necessary). Easy 15min swap to the new ones. Immediately after installing the coils, the CEL cleared, idling RPM was steady and normal, all roughness and minor stumbling ceased, and the performance was zippy again. Those coils aren't inexpensive, I will say that for them. But they seemed to do the trick.
Spark Plugs -- Thought I had a set of 4 sitting around, but couldn't find them. Purchased the NGK Ruthenium plugs from RockAuto, as it was approaching time to do plugs. Hopefully there will be some of that added smoothness and fuel economy that some have suggested seems to occur. We'll see.
Tires soon.
Brakes soon.

Topped up the battery electrolyte.
Yes the CX5 2.5NA (with iStop) and probably all other models in Australia with iStop come with “Enhanced Flooded” batteries that need to be maintained by checking the electrolyte levels and topping up with demineralised water - not the sealed, maintenance free models that come with many cars.
I had forgotten about doing that because on our previous CX5 I had replaced the factory battery with a sealed maintenance free version.
Had to go and buy a new container of demineralised water too.
