    2012 Mazda5 GT Totaled :( Some Items For Sale

    By Z3SpdDmn

    I'm so sad to have lost our 2012 Mazda5 Grand Touring in an accident in July. The other driver was 100% at fault and I'm angry that a good, clean, inexpensive car was taken off the road, likely to be replaced in this world by a bloated SUV or EV. I'd only gotten it about a year prior (flown to VA to get a known-history, non-salted example), had put a bunch of work into it to bring it up to my standards, and invested in it to go another 100k miles. Sadly, it won't get the chance. I have a... Read more

    CX-5 ATF Drain/Fill

    By Chris_Top_Her

    After 36000 miles I decided to drain and fill my ATF. According to the manual, 3.5-5 qt will drain out. I drained a little over 3.5 qt. 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

    Issue with 2013 Mazda 2 Neo PCM/Instrument Custer

    By margidraz

    2013 MAZDA 2 NEO This is my first post following a difficult time with multiple repair attempts to resolve a non-start issue since January 2026 by Mazda Service Centre at Liverpool. 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

    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.

    Rain water leak into boot / trunk (hatchback) - with fixes

    By Mazda6JW

    I think I have sorted the water leaks! I removed the aperture seal and cleaned off the white sealant and I went round the whole pressed together edge with the flowable silicone sealant, as well as the left hand and right hand seams where roof panel meets rear panel, then fitted a replacement (used, but in better condition) aperture seal after treating the seal with copious amounts of Gummi Pfledge (rubber conditioner). I removed the rear bumper and rear outer light clusters, and noticed... Read more

    CX-5 Ignition Coil Replacement

    By DanaT

    I have a 2018 CX-5 Grand Touring with 115K miles. Recently, one of my coils went bad and mechanic replaced with a Duralast coil to get me back on the road. Within 10 miles, that coil began causing misfiring. It appears the replacement coil (part C1837) is compatible with my 2018 vehicle, so not sure if it is a quirk with my engine or a bad coil out of the box. I know I should probably replace all four coils and plugs. I have read/heard that I should stick to OEM, NGK, Denso, or Delphi... Read more

    Hey, it's Minnie!

    By chiefmg

    I never posted an official build thread on here, as I had it in a lot of other places and there just wasn't much traffic here. Times change, so I'm going to be copying things over from my beginning ten years ago. Going to take some time, and since I am still at work and can only do this in port you're all going to have to be patient. Some of you have seen at least the older posts elsewhere. Keep in mind that this is all past tense so read along and your questions may be answered. I'll do my... Read more

    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

    Mazda5 aftermarket wheel questions

    By Mr jeff

    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

    Laser Blue Protege5 Build

    By Coredawg

    After a few months of contemplating what I should get to daily and mess around with, I finally settled on a P5. Searching the internet led to only a small array of them for sale around the country, and I settled on this one in the Tacoma, WA area. One owner since 2003 and only 145K on the clock when I purchased in June this year. Since then, I have been slowly working on wear and tear issues and starting some modification. Front catalytic converter needed to be replaced along with fuel... Read more

    Rust issue on inside of both front doors (2019 CX-5)

    By maximusbibicus

    Hey folks. Last winter the drivers side door of my CX5 became very heavy and hard to open, especially when the temperatures got well below freezing. Initially I just figured that the hinge would need fresh lubricant, although I have never lubed the doors on any vehicle in 30 years and have never experienced this issue. When discussing this with a friend he mentioned the chance that the door took in water and perhaps there was/is no drainage. I did recall that for a small period the... Read more

    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...

    Water in Spare Tire Well - 2020 CX-5

    By dodger44

    Just wanted to see if I could get any input on a water leak in the back of a 2020 CX-5 Touring. I happened to lift the rear floor the other day and there was about an inch of water in the tire well. Got it all cleaned up and removed all the trim to locate the water trail. It's parked outside often and we've had some steady rain the last few weeks. No idea how long it's been leaking but after digging deeper I see signs that it's been happening for a while. No sign of water on the rear... Read more
