I went to a local car repairer to find out if they could reset engine oil data and they plugged in a Scan Tool just under the dash on RHS of steering column witch recognized the CX5 and provided the reset oil data option so at least it is good to know i don't have to travel 260 KM's round trip...

Well the short answer is no, but i haven't pursued all of the helpful suggestions from the same question i posted in the "Engine Transmission,Drive train Thread, if you are interested have a look at the replies and links there. As a qualified Diesel Mechanic I am doing my own oil and filter...

Most if not all the CX5 reviews in Australia painted the 2litre petrol engine as underpowered. As price and availability of Diesel where i live is not an issue we chose the Diesel. While my previous cars have never been very impressive as far as power goes ( Mazda 121, Mazda Premacy) i am...

CX-5 Diesel -my experience so far This thread has been very enlightening. I bought a new Diesel CX5 Max Sport Built on 19/12/12 for Australia with VIN no ending 132189. After reading this huge thread i went and checked my dipstick and found it was the B type (54mm between dipstick end and X...

I really appreciated all this advice and information in this thread as well.It gave me the confidence to remove the entire front bumper assembly and fit my "CrimSafe" mesh,(a very strong, fine steel mesh painted black) to the inside of the bumper, to protect both the engine radiator and the...

I have just asked the same question of the seller on Ebay

At around 7ooo Km.s the check engine light on our Max Sport diesel started illuminating intermittently for a few trips and then stayed on. Before we could get to the dealer,about a week later the transmission started to hold onto gears longer and then shift suddenly. It only did this once but...

Thanks Giddygoanna this info is the closest i have come to a DIY solution to this issue. the owners manual says that the reset has to be completed in less than 1000 KMI's after the oil change or the engine warning light will display. Is this what you experienced? I completed my first oil change...
