    CX-5 75K Mile Service…What should be done?

    By Cubanrummy

    We have a scheduled appointment for our 2018 CX-5 Touring NA next week w/the local MAZDA dealer for the 75K mile service (actually gonna be @ around 77.5K). The 4 spark plugs are due for replacement....but will the "service advisor" try to sell us the 4 tube-type ignition coils? Or should those be changed-out too? We've also decided after much research (including this forum), to ask for the drain & fill only transmission service (no pan drop or filter change) with the... Read more

    CX-5 Valve Stem Seals Failing?

    By fakdaddy75

    Small amount of smoke in exhaust and burning oil smell. Compression test came out at 160 psi for all cylinders almost dead on across all 4 leakdown was <20% probably closer 10%. Spark plugs looked fine. Leads me to think either oil rings or valve stem seals. Not too much I can do about oil rings. Has anyone replaced the valve stems seals on these vehicles. Im aware of process - but not clear if a special tool is required or not a qjuick google says it is. Thank you!! 2014 Mazda CX-5 DIY... Read more

    Checked CX-5 Sunroof Drains

    By KarlA

    After wrestling with the clogged drains on my daughter's Explorer I realized I've never in 10+ yrs even checked the ones on our cx5, out of sight out of mind....but then again haven't been aware of a need to such as seeing leaks. We (wife & I) almost never use it and I rarely drive it solo and never once opened it. All that just to say after just pouring some test water thru them they work great! Good on Mazda, I've read that it's a chronic issue with some vehicles. Also while I was up in... Read more

    Skyactiv Drive internal walkthrough

    By sinistriel@

    This is the first video in a technical series I'm putting together on the Skyactiv Drive transmissions. The transmission in the video is from a FWD CX-9 and is the one used in all the factory turbo cars and 2.2 diesels. Mazda calls it a GW6A-EL and the CX-5, 9 and Mazda 6 Turbo use this specific version. The Turbo 3, CX-30 and CX-50 use a slightly different version that has a case shape in the rear to allow it to fit in the smaller chassis. The important parts are all the same. This video is...

    Protege5 Leaking Power Steering loop?

    By Lt. Dan

    Hey gang - started losing power steering fluid at the right front, and noticed the hard line that runs to the "power steering loop" behind the front bumper is leaking. Made a run to the junkyard, and EVERY SINGLE Protege I found has rusty lines there as well. What's everyone doing for this repair? Aftermarket cooler? Just looping/bypassing with a piece of rubber hose? Is the OEM part still available from Mazda?

    Need help with 2012 Mazda2 A/C

    By Mauzybear

    2012, Mazda 2 Hello all, I've been struggling to find answers and do what I can to investigate my issues. First, let me break down the symptoms: For around a month (we'll say in June), the blower motor was struggling with power. Fan setting at 4 and it would barely blow, sometimes coming on and then slowing back down. (Note: It would struggle at all fan speed settings. Having it blast as hard as it could obviously is the fastest way to feel it) One day as I was driving, out of the... Read more

    2025 Mazda CX-70 or Telluride/Palisade?

    By FirstMazdaCX5

    Hi I am looking for some advice. For context, I am currently driving a 2022 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD. I have 2 kids, aged 9 and 11. On some occasions, I have had to use the third row for transporting other kiddos from sports. I am debating on picking up a 2025 CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus with 10K miles on it for just under $40k before TTL. Seems like such a steal for a car that when new was near $60K and basically new still. That said, I am not mechanically inclined and am debating... Read more

    CX-5 Accessory must haves?

    By Jo_Bob6000

    Just bought my 2017 CX-5 GS, and I didn't get any accessories. I do plan on buying genuine Mazda accessories soon. My list to get includes Floor Liners Cargo Tray Rear bumper pad I'm thinking of getting the aluminum accelerator and brake pedal covers. Not the deal pedal, because I do believe the floor liners cover the dead pedal. Correct me if I am wrong! Is there anything else you think is a "Must-have" for the '17 CX-5?

    Blasphemy

    By CuriousGeorge

    My SE is the first EV I have owned, and I didn't really know how well it would fit my lifestyle. I therefore hung onto my Mazda 3 until I figured things out. Fast-forward 3+ years, and I love my SE to the point that I don't drive it the winter, or even when it might rain, just to keep it clean. Unfortunately, the Mazda now has 165k miles, needs a lot of work (shocks, clutch, exhaust), and is starting to rust. So, what to do? The cheapest option is to just get some... Read more
