    Fell off car - where does it go.

    This 1 1/4" plastic push-in plug was found in my driveway. I suspect it came from underneath my car. I was pulling in to the driveway when I heard a slight sound from underneath the car. When I drive highway speed, I heard a faint slapping noise. I went on line and looked at schematic...

    I used Mazda Moly oil and miledge increased.

    I have 22,000 miles on my 2014 CX-5 GT. For the first tim, I tried the Mazda Moly and so far mileage increased from an average of 24 mpg to 29 mpg. Obviously is is not my driving style that changed so it must be the addition of Moly.

    I noticed recently when my 2014 CX -5 steering wheel is turned all the way to the left and I proceed slowly forward. Doesn't happen when I turn all the way to the right. Anyone else have this problem? I have 15,000+ miles on the car.

    Mazda Moly Unavailable

    So I call my dealer, the only Mazda dealer in the area and they say they don't have Mazda Moly and want to use Pennzoil instead. What's up with that besides more profit for the dealer? I guess I can get my oil changed anywhere where 0-20 synthetic is used. Your thoughts about this dealer...

    0W-30 maybe needed?

    I am moving from Florida to Las Vegas and I will need my next oil change in a month before I leave to drive out to LV. I am wondering if I should prepare for the extreme heat of LV and put 0W-30 Synth instead of 0W-20 Synth. What do you think?

    I have a 2014 CX -5 GT. Let's face it, the rear view is not great. I wonder if there is a way to drive forward and turn on the camera for better rear visibility? Can this be done and has anyone been successful in doing so?

    Headrest movement

    I have had many autos in the past with adjustable headrest. I am struck by my 2014 CX-5 GT, as frequently I discover the headrest moving somehow by itself higher than the lowest setting. I am wondering how does this happen. My head doesn't rest on it and the opening and closing of the door...

    sound system - great sound CD and Crap otherwise

    I have the 2104 GT with nav. Sound through the CD is great, dynamic, well balanced and the door speakers are well heard. With the radio or Sirius, it sounds flat, I can't hear the bass through the door speakers and generally no better than a cheap car radio system. I can understand radio...
