    2016 CX-5 Pinch Bolt

    By Sam9978

    Is anyone able to confirm the part pinch bolt part number for the 2016 CX-5, 2.5L, FWD? Google and ChatGPT says it's 9YA0-21-01H but almost every Mazda parts site says it will not fit the 2016 but offer no guidance as to what the part number actually is, I can see it in some of the diagrams but can't find the actual part listed anywhere on their sites. Oh, while I'm at it ... I'm going to put on the 2017+ control arms as I've seen several people here and on Reddit say they work fine on the... Read more

    How to preload CX-5 suspension?

    By cx5-6spd

    My camber arms are basically trash right now, I'm doing the entire rear end…silly me...forgot to measure the vehicle height with the tries on...everything is off except the cross member...do the lower control arms, lateral arms, camber arms all need to be tightened with preload…if so how do you preload the camber arms and tighten them? There's like no access with the tires on?

    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

    Sho's 7th Mazda! (2025 CX-70 Turbo Preferred)

    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. Had a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 GT. Bought in 2012 with 25k miles. Learned how to wrench, and tune with that car. 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. One as a beater and one I went... Read more

    CX-5 Factory oil filter larger than replacement filter?

    By Kinshi

    2025 CX-5 2.5L NA. No CDA, no Auto Start Stop. Doing the first oil change today DIY. Pre-purchased filters (4!) from Mazdaswag. When I went to remove the factory filter, I found it was much larger diameter than the filter from Mazdaswag. The filter wrench that fits the replacement filter was not even close to going onto the factory filter. So I looked up the filter on the closest parts store website and came up with Mobil M1-108A. At the store, I saw that the Mobil filter was the same... Read more

    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

    CX-5 Transmission Issues

    By NDV2016

    Hey folks, new guy here - I've got a 2016 CX-5 2.5L FWD with nearly 203k miles on it. Recently it's picked up a weird little habit. When I shift into Drive, there's about a 2-3 second delay before the vehicle gets in gear, and when it does it rocks the whole car. After that it drives normally, and shifts fine. Shifting into Reverse, Neutral, Park are all normal. Twice that I can remember it had a jerky downshift but otherwise no issues shifting while in motion. Curious if anyone has... 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.

    Anyone reprogram or replace their CX-5 PCM?

    By SBMongoos

    I've been trying to sort out the shifting issues on my 2016.5 GT. I've completed the transmission reset process twice recently. First time all seemed fine until I moved into manual mode. Then shortly after I would see the issues come back. Which are shifting issues when slowing down or starting to take off from being stopped. I completed the reset again on Friday but some time that same day the issues started to return again and I had not used manual mode. After digging around around a... Read more

    First light mods for my CX-5

    By greybeard

    Did two simple mods to my 2025 CX-5. Added a rubber trim paint protector below the hatch, too easy to scratch the paint when loading. Also added a 2” etrailer hitch, mainly for the carrier. Not bad to install, will add the plug later. Hopefully will be carrying a deer this week, or maybe a small bear. Set of tire chains on the way as well.
