Greetings All, I've been reading exhaustively on this site to determine how best to maintain my CX-5 for the long haul. I recently took a job which has me driving appx. 100 highway miles per day, so the mileage is racking up quickly. As I write this I am approaching 22,000 miles on my 2017 CX-5...

I am wondering if anyone can report whether or not they have experienced carbon buildup on intake valves in 2017 or new GDI Skyactiv engines. I am trying to determine whether or not Mazda engines are susceptible to this issue. Some of what I've read suggests Mazda "solved" this problem, but Ive...

I know this...I honestly just don't have the stomach for the fight right now

So I had some time today and I decided to pop over to the dealer with my 10 month old, 5700 mile 2017 Mazda CX-5 to have them look over my "wrench" issue. Long story short, the dealer told me that they would not look at the car without a diagnostic charge unless I could provide receipts for the...

In my case the indicator says "service due"....but I had the service indicator off. I was only using the tire rotation and oil change reminder in flexible setting. Now I'm wondering if I even needed to do the oil change. I just assumed when I saw the wrench it was for the oil change. I didn't...

Regrettably, yrwei52's suggestion did not work. I got in the car for the first time since the weekend and the wrench came up immediately. I tried shutting everything off and putting it back on....we will see what happens now.

Thank you for your help yrwei52. I reset the maintenance interval in the infotainment with the engine OFF and it seems to have worked....though I want to wait a day or two to make sure. I thought I resoved the problem once or twice since yeaterday but the warning seemed to return. I have to...

Im hoping someone here has successfully reset the wrench maintenance reminder in the dash after an oil change. I have a 2017 CX-5 GT, and I just did my first oil change at 5567 miles when the wrench appeared. I reset the maintenance interval in the infotainment screen, but the wrench continued...

I took delivery of my CX-5 on 4/12/17. I used Flexible Oil Change Setting....and do about 50/50 city/highway driving. I currently have 5300 miles on the vehicle and the maintenance reminder is showing 2700 miles or so till the next oil change. Needless to say the factory oil is still inside...

Purchased 4/12/17 - 3990 miles. Has not been my primary daily driver but will be now since I returned a leased vehicle just yesterday....so I expect the miles to rack up more quickly!

I wish I could get my CX-5 on roads like this more often!

I thought the same thing....but it seems to work!

Forgive me if this has been posted before....but I think it will be appreciated by Mazda enthusiats! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNnvOy8ns44&t=720s

I check the firmware site I linked to in the previous post pretty regularly for updates, and I did so before I posted the link above....but the site seems to have been taken down? Does anyone know of another source for the infotainment firmware?

I assume you are referring to infotainment firmware. While I am sure your dealer would not approve, you can update your own infotainment firmware...at least as of this writing...until they lock it down. Firmware is available here: https://my.hidrive.com/share/eij2ao9hsv#$/ Instructions here...

Boston to NYC this Morning. 3.5 hour trip avg speed appx 70 MPH. No appreciable traffic

I have a 2017 GT AWD that just turned 2500 miles. I live in Staten Island which has horrendous traffic and prior to this weekend its longest trip had been about 60 miles one way down to the NJ shore. I had been averaging 22-23 MPG per tank. This weekend I drove up to Boston from NYC and averaged...

I assumed my tire pressure was correct to0....read the thread below. Ride and handling is much improved now that I corrected it https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123861209-Tire-Pressure-overfilled-at-dealer-(I-assume)

I went with Soul Red Crystal and black interior. I wear jeans and was concerned about long term care of parchment leather. Its an awsome vehicle I cant reccomend highly enough!
