Mazda CX-5 2WD

Hopefully I can post a couple pictures. New to this CX-5 non turbo and haven't a clue what these two do or go to and what's needed for fluid changes, don't think they have anything to do with the Transmission as the at pan has a drain plug. Somehow I need to get a repair manual on this CX-5 so as to not ask these types of questions. Which book/manual is good for this suv?

Need a car that I will drive roughly 6000-8000 miles /10,000 - 12,000 km an year on the highway (Europe) at 80 mph for 3.5-4 hours at a time. When I need to drive in the city I prefer to rent small EV cars, so I get cheaper parking. For 25,000 euros I can get a 2016 CX-9 at 60,000 - 80,000 miles /100,000 km - 120,000 km or a 2019 CX-5 at 50,000 miles - 60,000 miles / 80,000 km - 100,000 km. Prefer to get petrol as they seem more reliable and there will be 2-3 weeks at a time that I won't... Read more

I purchased this vehicle used a few months ago from a friends older mother. It only has 38,000 miles. It immediately showed a "check gas cap" reminder on the dash above the fuel gauge then eventually through a P0457 code. The shop, not a dealership, diagnosed the issue after using a smoke test, that the vapor canister showed a slight leak. They said they couldn't locate the part and said I can buy it and bring it in myself. I found the part from a Mazda dealership and had it shipped to me... Read more

Figured I'd try a thread where everyone can post up what they did for their ride today. I gave her a nice hand wash and sealed her with some JetSeal 109. Dodo Juice is on deck...

Hey guys, I need your advice. I have a 2025 Mazda CX-5 with 13k miles. I noticed some play where the CV axles connect to the rear differential on both driver and passenger side. I can move the axle shaft vertically (up and down) and longitudinally (forward and backward, in the direction of vehicle travel). Is it normal behavior? (Please see the attached video).

Hey Everyone - I am in the market for a new car and debating between the 2026 CX-5 and CX-50. I’m leaning towards the CX-50 given the 256HP vs the CX-5’s 187HP. While I like the new tech on the CX-5, I think Mazda veered too far in their vision of hands free and big screens. Oh and I’m keeping my Mazda5! Will stay in the family as long as it runs.

I have a 2014 which pre-dates the electronic parking bake and actually still has a hand lever. Anyway, I went to use it on Friday and noticed it no longer ratchets (so will not hold itself in place), and the release button is sticking out further than it should, like its popping out of the hand brake. You can tell the cables are fine as pulling it up you can feel it still apply the brake, and the dashboard brake light comes on so the only issue seems to be that the ratcheting mechanism...

The other day the engine light came on with P0012 code. Our 2016 CX-5 is Auto Trans Touring Package. We've always had the Mazda dealer do the oil changes with full synthetic never went more than 7K miles between changes and never had any issues with the car before this. I'm trying to understand if this is a common issue with the 2016 CX5's; were at 118K miles now. If this has happened to other owners I would be interested in knowing what needed to be replaced. Timing Belt? Cam? I'm... Read more

Hello, after many years messing with/modifying a manual trans Honda CR-V, and many more years messing with and modifying a manual trans Audi A4, I was looking for a new/reliable car. I had so much trouble finding anything manual/awd, I switched to looking for anything with a real automatic (non-CVT). I completely bypassed mazda, assuming that the offerings were CVT, slow and boring. Eventually I did a little research, and realized it was quite the opposite! These cars are actually pretty...

I just lowered my cx5 with corksport springs and was noticing a gap still. I believe i could squeeze 245/55's on stock 19" wheel and be fine. If not, i'll do 235/55's. Has anyone on here done the same while lowered? If so, please post pictures. Thanks in advance

My Mazda 2019 CX5 2.2 Diesel with 125000 kms has started surging under light acceleration I have owned from new and has been fully serviced from new. Mazda have no idea at this stage. They have scanned the vehicle with no codes present. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you .

I did an engine oil change today on my 2026 CX-50 @ 14500 miles. I bought it used a few months back from a Toyota dealership with 10K miles on it. It was a rental. It had an oil change done to it just before I bought it and had a made in Thailand 1WPE-14-302 filter installed on it. For entertainment purposes I cut it open and compared it to the Japanese made Tokyo Roki filter that came with my 2026 CX-5 from the factory. I did the first oil change at ~1500 miles on the CX-5. Either... Read more

2018 CX-5 @ 78K miles: I was trying to get rid of the annoying "ticking" sound from the engine which usually originates from the Cylinder Deactivation system (I didn't think it was the timing belt or tensioner) even though the software modification was already done under warranty by the MAZDA dealer back in 2019. Oil level was OK, so I tried the recommended running the engine @ 3K+ RPM in a lower gear on manual shifting mode for several miles & it worked! Then it occurred to me that the... Read more

Went to back up and no camera, no cameras at all. Anybody have this issue and found a fix for it? Out of warranty so it's on me, would love to know why this happens and if anyone has had success in fixing it. Thanks! 2022 CX-5 Signature

Here is a new thread dedicated to the new generation CX-5. New owners, let's learn and share about the new generation together. Share experiences and tips. Ask questions, too. I am just starting the process of getting to know my next generation 2026 CX-5 Preferred. I test drove one the other day and I was really impressed with the improved interior space and ride comfort compared to our 2024 CX-5, which we love. A lot has changed in functionality so it will take time to get to know it but... Read more

After seeing several threads of the failures in the rear bushing of the front control arm in the 2103-16 CX-5 I did some research and saw that the 2017+ control arm appears to have a redesigned bushing to address the cracking problem. As it appears to me the cracks begin and propagate from the voids in the bushing, and the 2017+ bushing does not have any voids and appears to be thicker, so I assume it should last a bit longer at least. As I needed to replace the passenger side arm as both... Read more

I need to replace my Viscous Coupler on my 2015 CX-5 2.5L 6SP Auto. Has anyone used one of the Amazon or ebay aftermarket ones? They are $250-300 vs $1200+ OEM. Car has 150k on it, newer to me so not wanting to put a ton into it until I get a feel if it's a 300ker. My question is if you were able to get the ECM programmed for the new aftermarket one. The OEM units apparently are tested and tagged with detailed results that are on a sticker that is entered at dealer when flashing. I'm... Read more

I joined here shortly after we bought my wife's Crystal Red 2014 MY CX-5 Touring in 2013. My wife upgraded to a 2019 CX-5 and we passed down the '14 to our son. It now has 178,000 miles on it and has started to fall apart, with the exhaust leaking (and resulting codes that won't pass emissions testing that is now due), numerous rattles and clunks from (it seems) all 4 corners, plus an enormous clang from the rear, that happened while I was in the car turning tight into a parking spot - I...

Has anyone changed out their infotainment system for a different one that is not a Mazda part?

Mazdas247 · 2cooleng · 6 Nov 2026

Recently bought a 2021 CX-5 Touring and we’re having issues with the infotainment screen going black. I had not read about this issue until we had the problem, and I see now it’s pretty common, but it seems to be happening on and off for us and I was wondering if anyone had dealt with that. Every time it goes black the sound still works, but the reset option using the mute, nav, and back buttons don’t work. I’ve also disconnected the battery and that seemed to help for a couple of days, but... Read more

I purchased my 2025 CX-5 Turbo Signature in December of 2025, it currently has less than 13k miles on it. Up until the last few weeks I have left the Cruise Control enabled and just had to press the “set” button to set the cruise when hopping on the highway. However, over the last few weeks, it seems I have to press the right button below the cruise control “set” button and then press “set” to use the cruise as of late. I’ve started to pay close attention to make sure I’m not pushing any... Read more

I've been a loyal Mazda owner for decades, having owned an MX-6, Mazda6, 2016 CX-5, 2020 CX-30, and now a 2025 CX-5. I've always appreciated Mazda's reliability, driving dynamics, and attention to detail.​ I purchased my first CX-5 in late 2015 (a 2016 model), when you rarely saw another CX-5 on the road. Fast-forward 10 years, and they're everywhere. That's a testament to how well Mazda has developed the vehicle and built its reputation. My original CX-5 served me extremely well for... Read more

Anyone else have difficulty hitting their target torque spec with a digital torque wrench when changing their oil? I'm always over or under slightly.

Hi All, Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol, 2017 model. Car won't start, nor crank. Remote closes and opens the car. A red car lock light is blinking on the dashboard/cluster. Replaced the battery on the key, smart keyless type. CX-5 just turns on but no crank nor start…Any ideas? Thanks!

Happy so far, dealer had changed the oil recently and I just completed my first on. The tech way overtightened both the drain plug and filter, and did NOT replace the drain plug washer. All good though as I have plenty of experience. I hope to have reset the service minder to 5K miles. Was VERY happy to find the drain plug inspection plate- my last Ford Focus didnt have that and the entire pan had to come off. Is there any other drive MODE options other than SPORT? Any tire recomendations... Read more
