    2025 CX-70 GT-P 3.3L M Hybrid Boost — DC-DC converter continuous amp rating?

    By shawncx70

    I'm trying to establish the safe, continuous 12V electrical capacity of my 2025 Mazda CX-70 GT-P with the 3.3L inline-6 M Hybrid Boost system. The OEM parts catalog lists the 3.3L DC-DC converter as K628-67-ZDY . I'm planning an aftermarket car-audio system and need to determine how much continuous 12V current the converter can supply, beyond the vehicle's own electrical loads. Does anyone have reliable information on any of the following? The converter's rated continuous... Read more

    Mazda FS5A-EL transmission interchangeability

    By Sciko67

    I had a code for shift solenoid B stuck open and incorrect gear ratio in 2nd and 4th. I spent some time throwing money at it, replacing fluid, filter, solenoids, and I even tried a new TCM. I inspected the band and finally said "Screw it! I need a new transmission!" I found out really quick that Mazda5 transmissions were expensive. My best deal was $850 for a transmission with 170K miles. Hell no! I noticed that there were a lot of transmissions from 2010 Mazda3 2.0L. These transmissions... Read more

    Bought a new 2026 CX-5 S today

    By PoMansMazda

    She's an S-model with standard equipment aside from the $75 worth of port installed wheel locks which will be coming off ASAP. It's black and still had all the plastic on it. I started down this death spiral with the purchase of my darling bride's 2026 CX-50 preferred some weeks back. I enjoy the CX-50 so much, I had to have a Mazda. I did consider a few used 2021 CX-5's 3yrs ago when I was in the market and loved them, but couldn't find the one I wanted for the price I wanted at the... Read more

    CX-5 2.5L NA 100K mile tune up question

    By ARB1977

    Is chat gpt correct? It looked a little dirty. I was wondering how hard are these to remove? No check engine light. Also something interesting. I wonder if there was a cylinder miss fire at some point. Three Mazda plugs assuming original and one lonely NGK plug. Our 2014 has 100K that we just picked up. Installed NGK lasers. Runs great. Also used a Mazda oil filter with Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W20.

    CX-5 ATF Drain/Fill

Oil - Up to 5qt of Mazda ATF FZ (It's blue then it comes out). I believe I paid about 14.50 at the dealer Preferably a lift. I rented a 4 arm lift for a total of $14 including use of some tool i needed to borrow and an impact gun to install a part I bought. Tools needed: 10mm socket, Flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, a general purpose pail with a... Read more

In January 2026 i was parked in Liverpool and returned to my vehicle and it wouldnt start. I had the car towed to an auto electrician in Wetherill Park to investigate. After a couple hours of diagosis, the auto electrician said the battery voltage was lower than normal but after fiddling with the key it... Read more

    Cracked Cylinder Head 2025 CX-5

    By mikeo

    I had a 2018 CX-5 that had the cracked cylinder head issue. At over 200K Mazda would not cover the cost of the repair. Last year, I stuck with the brand and purchased a new CX-5 Turbo. About a month ago, I was getting a consistent engine light and my dealer went through a few fixes from a cracked coil to a turbo hose issue, but it didn’t fix the warning light. They finally discovered a compression issue and ultimately found a cracked cylinder head. I know an engine redesign was supposed to... Read more

    CX-5 Sport 2.5L NA check engine light at 30,800 miles

    DPF and Glow Plug lights flashing on Mazda6 GH 2.0D

    By Mazda6JW

    As well as the flashing DPF and glow plug warning lights, my Mazda 6 GH 2.0D has the following fault codes: P2227:00-6 7/CMDTCs P2459:00-2 F/CMDTCs P167B:00-2 F/CMDTCs P115A:00-2 4/CMDTCs Please can anyone suggest what the likely cause(s) is/are, and how to resolve the issues. It smells very "diesel-y" whilst driving and it makes a lot of rattling at idle, especially when cold.

    Mazda5 ATF Recommendations...Fluid, cooler, filter?

    By Silentnoise713

    I've been reading a bit into the Mazda M-V (aka Ford FRN5) from BITOG and where I can find. It seems the only "approved" fluids (by their own labeling) has shrunk down to Redline/Amsoil/Royal Purple/Mazda/Ford OE stuff - all pricey premium fluids. Word is Valvoline IMV, Castrol IMV, and Mobile 1's ATF revised spec sheet removed Mazda M-V! I need to do an ATF drain/fill or flush. I'm at 55K so about 25K past due! Too cold to work outside for a flush+cooler so leaning towards a... Read more

    Hey everyone, looking at getting some new shoes for my 2014 Mazda5, I'm thinking 18s with some 225/40's anyone running this setup or have other wheel options they could shed some light on. Will be lowering it later on with some coilovers, nothing crazy! Just needed to be more stable in the wind... LOL

    Mazda3 clutch pedal master cylinder buying options?

    By Mr.Ivan

    Hi, On my 2015 Mazda3, my clutch pedal is "catching" shorter and shorter, but it did not drop lower than normal. I had same issue with my previous 2011 Mazda 3, and previous Honda Accord. My local mechanic does not want to get the part, I must order it online my self, so I want to double check that part I did found is 120% correct. Screenshot is showing 3 available master cylinders, and I'm not happy with the price of the last one. Would option 2 suit? Thanks in advance, Regards from Ireland.

    Mazda brand oil filter difference?

    By KarlA

    Two filters- SH0-14-302A vs 1WPE-14-302. I have a 2016 CX-5 GT and the latter filter fits, first one doesn't according to the fitment guides. The SHO filter is for a 2017 & up. Anyone know why it supposedly won't fit? Only asking because I just received two that I vaguely remember ordering lol. Prbly was with my late night friend Johnny Walker...

    0w-20 GF-5 with moly discontinued?!

    By resq302

    So I'm getting prepared to do an oil change on my daughters 2023 Mazda CX-5 and wanted to order another case of oil for my house only to find that the GF-5 0w-20 with moly has been discontinued ?!?!?! The superceded part number 000077ECO07QT doesn't say it contains the moly additive. Does this new part number still have the moly additive but doesn't show it on the label? Thanks in advance, Brian

    By pallor

    Hello. I am seeking some guidance on the resolution of my issue. I have a 2017 CX-5 Touring FWD (manufactured 7/2017). Mileage is 120k. I have been the only owner.

    Best Oil for CX-5 2.2L Diesel?

    By Bustocco_71

    Hello, since February 2025 I have owned a CX-5 (second generation) 2.2 D (diesel, 110 kW or 148 hp), which I use mainly for long journeys and often towing a 1.300 kg (2,860 lbs) caravan (travel trailer). I'll be taking it in for its second service soon, and I'd like to know which is the best engine oil choice for me between the two offered by Mazda: Supra DPF 0W-30 and Ultra DPF 5W-30 (both ACEA C3). I live in the northern part of Italy, temperatures in recent years have rarely gone below... Read more

    Help - I can't get into my car

    By Brushape

    I bought my CX-5 used. I locked the doors and the car battery went dead. The little red LED on the fob lights up when a button is pushed so it probably isn't that. I thought I would open the door with my emergency key. I went to use it and realized it was never cut. Is there any way to open the hood and charge the battery? Is there an external means to power the car? I really don't want to go to a Mazda dealer to get a new key as the closest is 100 miles away. Any and all ideas would be... Read more

    CX-30 A/C compressor failed

    By rzc

    Having no A/C in Houston is no joke! Took my 2023 Mazda CX-30 with 90K+ miles to the dealership after the A/C compressor failed. Luckily, I had an extended warranty, so instead of being hit with a $2,700 repair bill, I only had to pay my $100 deductible. Definitely one of those times when having an extended warranty paid off! Forgot to mention — I was also able to get a replacement key fob while I was there. Now I can enjoy some cold A/C again!
