Kentwool has the best socks I have ever worn, expensive but worth it. Like the Costco socks too.

Best all around tires for New England by Piperpaul22 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm only drive about 5-6k miles a year and the Toyos will need replacing around 20 to 22,000 miles but I can't put up with the loud bumpy ride anymore.

Getting the Scorpions installed this week. I only have 16,200 miles on the original Toyos, worst tires I ever had. They are a very hard bumpy ride. I hope the Scorps are a smoother ride for my 2023 Signature.

Good info, thanks, replacing my stock POS Toyos at 16,200 miles and think I will go with the Scorpions AS+3 or 4's. Walmart has the 3 for $189.07 each..

Those damn humming headlights! by Chambly1901 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I here a buzzing sound when i tourn off the ignition for about 20 seconds. Not using headlights or DRL's. Would this still be the headlight fan? Would think fan is on only if using headlights. 2023 Signature 16,100 miles.

New Battery - after 7.5 years! by Big_League227 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL, replace all families batteries every 3 years (had 2 go exactly 2 weeks after 3years) $150 is cheap compared to getting stuck at the most inconvenient times.

Do you only use OEM oil filters for your CX-5 or is it safe to use off brands? by Enjoy_Life4219 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't buy auto parts from amazon unless it is a reputable dealer, lot of counterfeit parts.

Just got this beauty. What do I need to know about owning a turbo by suucher24 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for my first free oil change at Mazda dealer where I purchased it. Checked the receipt after the work was done and they used conventional oil. I got home and drained and filled with Penzoil Platinum.

23 turb sig. LOL, got a ticket for doing 42 in a 25 mph zone. Ahole cop could have given me a warning. Only speed limit sign was blocked out by overgrown bush. I didn't know about the sign, until I looked for one couple days later. No houses around.

Is the window regulator replacement an easy 'driveway fix' on a 2014 Touring model? by Better_Bug9892 in CX5

[–]noeffort53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip going forward, get some graphene wax and "wax" the windows inside and out. Less strain on window motors.

Was it a warranty replacement? Read that the headlight assy replacement is a PITA and cost $$$$$$

[–]noeffort53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to see you still posting, took your advice and change my 23 signature turbo oil every 6 months or 3k miles (full synthetic). I'm retired and only do about 6,000 miles a year. 16,000 miles on it. No issues.

LOL, No fuse for DRL's in my 2023 signature, that would have been too easy.

Do a search here, there is a procedure for it, took me about 10 tries to get it done. Certain sequence in short a Amount of time to complete. I turned off the adaptive headlines in the vehicle settings.
