What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Latest little maintenance step: Battery terminal cleaning.

Got rid of the minor corrosion, neutralized the acids, put on a pair of anti-corrision felt discs. Used a spray-on protectant on the terminals and cable ends, once the cables were reconnected.
 
'16 2.5L NA, 80,400m. Changed spark plugs (NGK); Cleaned throttle body. Not completely satisfied as there was carbon buildup that was caked on the back. Did the best I could with cleaner and rags. Probably could have done a better job with a toothbrush, but didn't have one handy.
 
Did the ghost touch repair. (disconnected the ribbon) and put new panels over the scratched piano black on the center console and door cards.

I bought my cx-5 2021 GT this week and it came fully detailed but I spent time to coat all my rubber seals with silicone spray.....

.....and then I stood back, took a look and smiled a long while! Great car so far and missed owning a Japanese made car!
 
Today I did my first oil and filter change on our new 2025 Signature at 830 miles, and prepared a sample to send off to Blackstone for analysis. I used the Mazda 1WPY-14-302 filter and Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 and will do 5,000 mile changes from now on.

The Turbo uses the filter 1WPY-14-302.

The only difference appears to be the pressure required to activate the bypass, but it must be so for a reason.

Thanks, I corrected my post as I got the 2.5 turbo filter confused with my 2.0 MX-5... one letter difference and they even look the same.
