    CX-5 gas tank issue

    I have a 2016 CX-5 that usually takes about 13 gallons when near empty. Yesterday, when the miles-remaining said '40 miles' I filled it up and it only took about 10 gallons. My dashboard gauge said it was full, but the range miles read 320 - when usually it will be about 395 when filled. Very...

    Hey everyone, My wife and I purchased our 2015 Mazda CX-5 with the 2.0L engine brand new, and honestly, it’s been one of the most trouble-free vehicles we’ve ever owned. We’ve always taken meticulous care of it; early oil changes (2500 - 5000 miles or every 6 months), using only top-tier oil...

    Change spark plugs strictly by mileage?

    2017 2.5 NA CX-5 Not quite to 50k miles on an 8+ year old car. At the current rate, I won't achieve the 75k spark plug change interval until the plugs are 12 years old. That seems a long time. Should I change plugs sooner, or wait for 75k?

    PSA do NOT leave key fob on the phone charging pad!

    Dont leave the car fob on or close to the phone charging pad in your CX5 of any other car! The electromagnetic fields from the pad can damage the fob or make it not operate properly. I have never done it but mate did in his Toyota Prado and was just lucky it wasn’t fried.
