maintenance

Next Tuesday I'm taking the CX-5 in for an Oil Change, Spark Plug replacement, and tire rotation. I have my Blackstone Oil Sample kit ready to take a sample. The sample is going to be awful. Multiple top ups, multiple oil additives, overdue oil change. Should be fun. Also, the vehicle has 205k...

Hello All, We have just purchased a good 2015 CX-5 AWD for our great niece (she is really great!..) to serve her during her college years. It is in fine shape and does not need anything at the moment, however we would like to set her up with a good regular place for routine maintenance and...

Hey everyone, I picked up a new to me 2017 CX-5 GS (w/ 75,000 km /46,000 miles) this morning. The car is in great shape, but I don’t really know what kind of maintenance (if any) has been done beyond regular oil changes. Brakes are brand new, so at least that’s covered. I like to stay on top...

My daughter has a 3 year old Mazda CX-5 and the dealer has her convinced she should ONLY have her maintenance done there. I'm talking oil changes, alignments, etc. What's your take? I said on anything other than when you need OEM parts, you're fine. But dad's are wrong a lot...lol

I was wondering if anyone has done an oil change or other diy regular maintenance on their CX-90 yet…If so, please do tell, thanks!

What would the expected maintenance costs be for a two year period on a 2015 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring with 45k miles? (routine scheduled maintenance per recommended Mazda) TIA

Hi all - long time browser, first time poster. :) I've got a Diesel 2014 CX-5 with 88,000kms (Australia) and got the low oil light (the little red oil can), despite there being plenty of oil in the thing. OBD2 shows error DTC P253F:00 which is all about "Oil malfunction". Suspect the last oil...

Hi all, I have a 2014 CX-5 Touring front wheel drive with 52K miles. I am wondering if I need to clean the fuel injector systems or anything else? I have only done regular oil change, engine air filter change, cabin air filter change, wiper blades and new tires since I bought the car. No other...

2013 CPO CX-5 2.0L 76k miles Avg. Fuelly MPG = 29.6 Throttle response was getting a bit spongy/soft on 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear acceleration. Shift points were reving RPM's higher then normal where 3rd gear felt labored holding a higher rpm. Downshift slow to respond climbing hills. Overall...

Hello Mazdas247 members, its been a while since I've been on the forums here! But I would really like some thoughts on some Mazdas I'm looking at to possibly purchase. I'm looking at 2 Mazda 6 sport sedans right now. One is a 2006 Mazda 6s with the 3.0 V6 and a 5 speed transmission, with only...

Howdy all. Long time lurker, first time poster. My 6 has been having some shift issues at the high end ... 4th through 6th ... particularly when you punch it. It is a dead match to the description of Service Bulletin TSB 05-016/06 ( http://www.6crew.com/files/tsb/05-016-06-1725.pdf ) ... long...

Hello all, I have a Mazda 3 Sport GS 2010 (33 months old). I've been going to the dealership for all my regular maintenance. I just went for my 48,000 km (30,000 mile) inspection and was told I need to have the following work done: Not under warranty 1) Replace cabin filter (84.95 + tax) 2)...

Anyone have suggestions for the kit to purchase? Where to get it and what to look out for. I gather there is a variation in price and quality. Any good trusted sources. Looks like a lot of the parts are also use in a few other cars/motors? Thanks!

The handbook that came with my Mazdaspeed 3 has no recommended intervals for such things as transmission fluid. I have 45k on the odometer. I do the oil and filter change, synthetic oil, just shy of every 5k miles. I replaced the air engine filter at 20k and again at 32k. I'll do that...

Hi, Just wondering if its worth buying the additional maintanence package from the dealership. I was offered a 96 months/100000 miles coverage @1695 with $100 deductable after the mazda 30k mile coverage. I've never been a fan of these packages, but just curious if anyone of you opted for...

Hi All! Im a newbie to the forum and a proud owner of a Mazda2. Im here seeking help/clarification on the maintenance schedule for my car. It may be a silly question, but please bear with me. Ive been following Schedule 2 according to the owner's manual (service every 5K mi) and im at the 35K...

Hi, My wife's 2008 automatic transmission seems to have gotten a little loose. When she shifts from reverse to drive, the car moves a little bit, which she says is new. I've checked the tranny fluid, which is fine. The parking brake is a little bit loose, but the car moves even with a foot on...

The dealer wants $329 to do a bunch of stuff I don't think need doing and I was going to have stuff done on an a la carte basis. (BTW, my oil and filter were just changed after a 5,600 mi r/t mile cross country trip, I have had the brake fluid replaced and ditto for the cabin air filter.) Here...

Hi, my car has a bit of a rough idle once it settles down after a cold start. Nothing too bad, but it's definitely not smooth. I cleaned the EGR valve a little while back and that helped a bit, but it still seems like it coughs a bit. I heard that cleaning the IAC valve would help with the...
