That air filter is brand spanking new. Even the cabin filter aint that bad (just hit it a few times on your palm to shake off the debris. I don't trust dealers for anything. I do all the basic maintenance myself and ones I am lazy to do just take it out to the shop. My 2014 CX never went back...

Mine was a 2005 model that I also got new. Don't have it anymore though....past it onto nephew. I like the exhaust sound and it sounded great. Currently driving a 2017 Wrx 6mt.

That's funny I used to have a G35x as well and also had a Motive Brake Bleeder and it worked out pretty good. I got lazy and didn't try on the CX-5.

Ok, got it. 4 washers it is! I always thought all AWD vehicles have front diff / transfer case / rear diff.

My previous awd was a G35x too. Wait you said front differential again. So does CX have rear different + transfer case or rear differential + front differential???????

Rear differential and Transfer case. I need 4 washers? I know where rear differential is. I jacked up the rear of the car with that many times. So going to the front there is only transfer case and no such thing as front differential for the cx? I had an awd car before and there is front...

Ok, so there is a front differential, rear differential and a transfer case. Correct? Just wanted to be 100% sure. When you are saying front transfer case but on the rear (that sorta throws people off.....maybe LOL). Meaning I would need 6 washers TOTAL (front differential drain, front...

My wife's 2014 cx-5 awd has about 32k miles now so it's probably due for this. Just to get this straight, is there a front differential in the awd cx-5? I keep seeing people writing front transfer case. Isn't there only 1 transfer case? So my question is there is a transfer case, rear...

Do you have a CX-5? (dunno)

Bingo. (flash)

Don't let those names fool you. BMW calls them SAV (none of the above). Basically, they are tall cars or tall hatchbacks however you look at them. It has a high center of gravity. Yes it uses Mazda 3 chassis but due to high center of gravity it will never handle like a 3 but it's good enough...

Wife owns the CX-5. I have a 2017 WRX 6MT. Correct, the Subaru interiors are really bad but the latest generation is actually "decent". It's not CX-5 interior obviously. Other than that I think it's not bad (except for the horrible radio). Then again I didn't buy the WRX for interior. I...

Wow, hill holder lasts 6 seconds? OMG that's like an eternity. My Wrx holds it for maybe 1 or 2 secs. I have it disabled though because it didn't feel natural driving MT with hill holder.

I test drove the 6MT 2.0 back then. It's definitely under power. I had to rev it really high just to get some decent acceleration. In your case you have to turn into a steep hill so that's gonna be tough. The tires are touring tires so it's not sticky and definitely doesn't help in a sharp...

I would envy you if the Porsche 911 Turbo is a 7mt. If it's a PDK.......no envy. How big are those wheels on the CX? Looks kinda small but not bad.
