    Would you get a Mazda6e EV for highway cruising?

    By raspberry27

    Want a car that I will use for highway cruising to my hometown which is 250 miles per direction with a coffee/charge break somewhere in the middle. I prefer a sedan better than a CX-60 as I try to avoid SUVs in general. With Mazda discontinuing the Mazda6 they might want to push the CX-60 as their main vehicle but shouldn't the 6e be a better highway cruiser due to its sedan/hatch shape and being shorter thus experiencing less wind noise?

    74.00.200 Has Wireless Apple CarPlay

    By ZuZ

    The new Mazda MX5 2021 GT comes with firmware 74.00.200 that has wireless apple CarPlay! Jonathan Sewell Sells YouTube channel showcased this. The race is on to get a copy of the firmware and see whether it can be software enabled for other cars or requires a hardware modification. My bet is on software, anyone have a copy?

    Skyactiv-Z coming soon to CX-90

    By hoodlum

    I am not sure if this was previously posted but Mazda has committed to apply the Skyactiv-Z engine improvements to the inline-6 MHEV, although the larger battery from the CX-5 HEV hybrid may need to wait. I am thinking this will come either next year or the following year, since Mazda just hinted again that a surprise is coming for the 3.3L. Mazda is generally not this specific on a future improvement unless it is not far away. I suspect it would be part of a mid-cycle update... Read more

    By bigsho

    Hello! Picked up a Cx70 Preferred MHEV on Monday. Not a stranger to Mazdas as this is my 7th one. But it is my first ever brand new car, and first car that has an automatic transmission.

Built motor, precision 5862 turbo, auxiliary port injection, coilovers, sway bars, etc. On e48 Ethanol mix, self tuned it made 575whp/467 tq. Had 2 2006 mazdaspeed 6.

    Mazda Protege Cold Start problem

    By Ol'Geezer

    I recently traded for a 2003 Protege LX with a 2.0L engine. It needed. A timing belt. It didn't fail but it was walking because of a bad tensioner. I've been trying to restore it back to a decent condition. When the engines warm, it will start with one click of the ignition. When it is cool or cold it won't start easily. It just rolls over like it's trying to start but doesn't. After the 3rd or 4th attempt it will usually start. I've checked the IAC valve and it is functional. I will be... Read more

    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

    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

    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.

    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
