    Interesting observation when charging battery

    I've had a 2018 Mazda CX9 GT AWD since new. I typically 'top off' my cars' batteries when it starts to get cold. I have a NOCO Genius battery charger/maintainer. I started with my 2018 GTI which has a 12 month old Interstate AGM, same age as my CX9's battery. My NOCO turned 'green' (i.e...

    2007~2015 CX-9 Transmission Drain and Fill

    Bought a 2008 cx9 w/148k a couple of months ago. With very few service records and information about transmission service, I went ahead and did its first drain and fill. The fluid is scary lol. I was experiencing weird shifts and sputtering sometimes in 4th and in 6th once in awhile. Now, after...

    How to transfer my CD collection to CX-9?

    Bought a slightly used 2023 CX-9 ("stage" 2) a few days ago. I traded-in my ancient CX-9 that had a built-in CD changer. But I don't understand how to transfer my CD collection to the 2023 CX-9, and playback using one (or both?) of the jacks in the center armrest. I understand it involves first...

    Torque Steer issue

    Hey all, I’ve got a 2012 FWD CX-9 with extensive front-end work (rack, tie rods, control arms, mounts, etc). Still getting excessive torque steer under acceleration. While lowering the subframe, I noticed the rear bushings had a loose fit around the body studs. Wondering if this is by design or...

    Issue with CX-9 Fuel Consumption reading?

    Any idea why my Mazda CX-9 2018 GT model with odometer 65k showing 16.4/100L fuel consumption whereas it should be between 8.5/100L or 10/100L according to the most Mazda CX-9 2018 advertising says?

    Hi All, New to the forum and just picked up a 2022 CX-9 Touring Plus. Was interested in getting some more sound from the exhaust and saw the Corksport Catback. I cannot seem to find any videos other than the Corksport one. Does anyone have one installed? Thoughts or comments?

    Seeking Buying advice for 2022/2023 CX-9 CE, GT, Sig

    Hi, I'm new here. I'm interested to purchase a used/cpo CX9 CE and up. I've driven a rental CX90(I assume base trim) for over 1000 miles. I liked it, but I prefer the older model. I've heard that most of the 2.5T issues are fixed in 22 and 23. I only saw one engine issue in this forum for those...

    Interchangeable Wheels?

    Hi everyone, As you may all know, I own a 2016 CX-9 equipped with the factory 20-inch wheels. I’m considering installing the 21-inch wheels from the CX-70 and wanted to confirm compatibility. From what I understand, both vehicles share the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern, but I’m unsure about other...

    Burning oil smell in sport mode?

    Hi, was seeing if anyone else have this. I did a lot of highway driving but over two years it mainly been city. Let's say 80 % city, would take 8 months to even hit 7,000 miles. Recently on highway when I hit "sport mode" for the boost, I do smell a oil burning. Was wondering if anyone else...

    Seal / O-ring damaged or is it supposed to be split?

    I currently own a 2007 CX-9 - first time Mazda owner and I working on the 3.5 ford engine ! I’m trying to find out if a “seal” or o-ring is damaged or if it’s supposed to be split. They are split at an angle and seem to have hardened - I’m actually wondering if a regular o-ring would work. I’m...

    Coolant Service Drain and Fill...For the first time?

    Just bought a 2008 CX-9 with only 158,000 on the dash. I just did a coolant drain and fill because there is not that much records and this service was not ever done.

    Mike's 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition

    Over the weekend, I traded in my slightly older CX-9 for this one, a black 2022 Kuro with red interior and almost 71k kms. On a whim, I decided to stop by a dealer to check out a black 2022 CX-9 Kuro Edition. I've been keeping an eye on used inventory lately just to see if a good deal comes...

    2007~2015 CX-9 A/C draining direct to passenger footwell

    It’s been a while since my A/C drain got clogged and, unlike last time, I approached the task with confidence and therefore didn’t read the forums before tackling. I recalled reading references to the use of an air compressor but forgot the salient parts about this not being the best route and...

    2016~2023 CX-9 Stock Wheel fitment numbers?

    I'm going nuts over the way this manual is constructed. Every time I use the Appendix to find something like Navigation, there is simply no Alphabetic category in the back(Index) of the manual. I wouldn't normally be a pest so much but for the life of me, I simply cannot find any subcategory...
