I have a 2016 CX 9 that I got in Dec. It was driven b y the dealer so it had 1800 miles on it. It performed great and I took it in for the 4000 first oil and inspection. The maint due warning came on, nice feature. I took it in but when they put the computer on it, it said I was at 6988 instead...

Hey everyone, I'm new here, but not new to the P5. I've had it for a little over 2 years now and just recently came across a couple of problems. Hopefully someone can help out with one or all of these lol 1. When turning my steering wheel at idle there is a noticeable clicking/groaning sound. I...

Hello community, I hope this thread is on the correct area. I'd like to know about the engine oil my car needs. I recently got a used Mazda 5 2012. I read on the oil cap that my Mazda uses 0w20, but I'm not sure since I have heard two things: 1) One guy told me that since my car is currently...

Greetings all, I'm back again for another fix on Zuzu, my 2008 Mazda 5 with 178k miles. This time it was my leaking oil cooler. Let me start off with the BIGGEST WARNING EVER: There is a YouTube Instructional about a man fixing his leaking oil cooler with make-your-own gasket material. For...

I've got 2000 Protege LX 1.6L with basically no aftermarket parts. In the past year it's started burning oil pretty fast, and I've noticed there is a black, oily buildup that accumulates on the rear bumper and rear trunk panel after a few days of driving. There's no visible smoke from the...

First off, to those of you out there not changing/checking your oil very frequently - start doing so now! These engines are being made way too thin/lightweight to improve gas mileage and as a result are going through oil at higher than "normal" (for most cars) rates. Mazda won't tell you this...

Hello all, I have a new to me 2007 CX7 that I realized is dripping oil pretty badly. It is losing about a half quart per week. You can see that it looks like there is some damage at the boss where the bolt and leak are. It seems that could be the culprit. Has anyone seen a leak here before...

I have 2012 CX-9 Touring AWD. So far ran 50k. While going through the forums , I realized that CX-9 has significant issues with the transfer case and I really need to take care of it. However, I came across some doubts - 1. Transfer case has only one plug. I have to pump out fluid from it...

Found out a while back that my Mazda 5 has an oil leak above the oil filter. Researched it online and found out that I need to replace the entire oil cooler, since it is the old black model and I cannot replace the gasket. I found one for pretty cheap ($150 compared to the $400+ at other sites)...

Hey everyone! First post and its a doozy.. At the end of March (30th?) I bought a brand new 2016 CX-5 AWD GT with i-Activesense. Fully loaded. This Sunday (5/15/16) I notice there's a puddle of oil in my garage... my brand new CX-5 (3,200 miles and ~1.5 month old) is leaking oil. I made a...

A dedicated thread was mentioned for oil analysis tests so I will start this thread off with mine. I realize there are numerous other threads with oil reports. Hopefully this one will be easier to find. Just came in about 10 minutes ago. Looks overall good to me What are thoughts on the...

After getting an oil change about a year ago I noticed an oil leak. I took it back to the oil change place and they said it was coming from the oil pressure sensor. I bought a new one and had them replace it. Problem slowed but not solved. I did some research and decided it was the oil filter...

Short video showing some of the fun moments during a Mazda 5 oil change. Not all Mazda 5's use the canister filter so you should double check what type of oil filter your car uses.

Which oil do you guys pour into your beloved Mazda5 (newer 2.5liter engine)? Is the usual 0W20 Mobil 1 is sufficient or better use something fancy like Liqui Moly? Thanks

Was driving from New York to Ohio and experienced an overheating condition. 2.0 FS-DE, all stock, 217k miles, broken A/C compressor, A/C always turned off. I stopped the car when the temperature gauge went to 75%. Oil level was normal, and coolant fan was working, but I topped it off anyway, and...

I just wanted to confirm... but an orange wrench icon went on on my 2014 Mazda 3 GT. I do believe this is due scheduled maintenance? I procrastinated a bit and forgot to change the oil at 11k, so I doubt is an engine problem. Also ... if I bring the car to a different place that is not the...

We need help because nobody knows whats cause it or even how to fix it. Last week, out of nowhere, around 5 indicator lights (BSM OFF, TCM OFF, battery, oil, seatbelt) on the dashboard turned on. I took it to the dealer service, they think it was because of the "after market" trailer hitch...

I recently had my mazda 5 diesel serviced. A week later the warning light for fuel in oil came on. My mechanic says that he can't see how it could happen. He also says that the engine is a Ford Focus engine and that on the focus there is no FIO warning light. He wonders if it is a trick to get...

Hello 247 Its been getting quite cold here lately(-5/-10 C) and im experiencing a ticking noise from the 1.3 lt engine that disapears as soon as the engine gets up to temperature. I was thinking it might be a valve thing, bit considering the fact the this model uses a timing chain, im more...
