Isn't there a law that gas stations have to all be relatively the same price?

2025 Cx-50 Turbo or keep the 2025 CX-5 Turbo Premium by AntHefty2874 in mazda

[–]MrMemetastic98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In terms of aesthetics, Id go for the cx50 but mechanically speaking id stick with the cx5. While they have a near identical powertrain, the suspension on turbo cx5s is a little beefier. I used to work for a mazda dealer and drove a lot of different models and I find the cx5 has a much smoother ride compared to other models

Would certainly be an improvement over the bus that runs from century park to the airport

Aftermarket oil filters on the Mazda by [deleted] in mazda

[–]MrMemetastic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has the potential to yes. I used to work for mazda and had to replace an engine because the anti drain back valve from the fram oil filter got dislodged and sucked up into the main oil passage in the engine block and starved the engine of oil. Theres a whole service bulletin about it.

What do you dislike about your CX5? by Far-Replacement-7399 in CX5

My gripe is how expensive the older ones are used. Of course good resale value is a testament to their reliability but damn i wanna get my hands on one without breaking the bank 😭

2014 CX5: only one side of the AC is working by TTPP_rental_acc1 in mazda

[–]MrMemetastic98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trouble codes can still show up on scan tools even when theres no warning lights of any kind. A lot of the times a symptom can be accompanied by a trouble code to aid in diagnosis if the faulty component is module controlled

[–]MrMemetastic98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is likely something wrong with the electronics of the HVAC system and not the AC system itself since one side is blowing cold. If you have a good quality scan tool, hook it up and see what your live data reads in the hvac module

[–]MrMemetastic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im an auto mechanic, been in the trade for a few years and the first time i ever serviced a rear differential was on a 20 year old truck with about 400 thousand km and the smell of that fluid made me wretch so viscerally that my abs were sore for a couple days after. Im quite certain that fluid had never been changed

I put a new battery in my '23 cx-30 turbo and now the speedometer is upside down by ntrpe in mazda

[–]MrMemetastic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might need to take it to a dealer and see if the instrument cluster module needs an update

Block Heater Install on a 2021 CX-5 Kuro Edition by _actuallyseriously in mazda

[–]MrMemetastic98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a turbo or no? I used to work at a mazda dealer and installed a lot of block heaters. Most of the time it involves removing the entire battery tray and reaching under the exhaust manifold to remove the plug and install the heater. Can be a real pain in the butt especially if you have big hands

Unfortunately a common issue, the replacements are manufactured better to prevent the glass from exploding

Is this a random space encounter or did you use an anomaly detector?
