I have about 42k miles on my 2018 CX-5 and noticed a drop in acceleration and mileage over time. The car feels lagging when I take it from a stop and is sluggish going up to speed. When I got a loaner for a 2019 CX-5 Non-turbo (which should be the same engine in my 18 CX5), I noticed a pretty big difference in feel and acceleration in that car which further makes me think something is wrong.
On the highway going 75-80mph from Dallas to Houston and back to Dallas, I was averaging 24mpg all highway which doesn't feel right compare to the 31mpg average I was getting on highway driving when I first got the car. I have done all required maintenance and changed out my air filter.
I wanted to see if doing the induction service may help restore my car close to the original feel and mileage. My dealership recommends a BG 3-part induction service for $150 or BG 2 part fuel/air induction service for $110. I think the 3-part induction service is just the BG 2 part with a bottle of fuel additives added in it. Does anyone know if it is the BG 44k or BG 44k Platinum fuel system cleaner that is added?
I have read in the forums that there is a warning in the manual that states "Never add fuel system additives. Otherwise, the emission control system could be damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for details" Does the manual then contradict what the dealer is selling?
Has anyone have any experience with adding BG in their gas? I use to add techron in my tank for my previous cars but the warning made me question if I can do the same with the CX-5. Thanks
