I believe Mazda changed drain plug to flange hex bolt type when they modified the SA-G 2.5L with cylinder deactivation in 2018 CX-5 MY.my 18' cx5 is also with a flange hex bolt type plug.
Havent changed 1st oil yet but I looked.
So assuming all new cx5 now use this type.
There're 2 reset methods because there're 2 different types of instrument cluster. Your CX-5 GT has Type B cluster and you use Vehicle Status Monitor app in infotainment to reset 3 independent maintenance intervals. For oil change, you reset "Oil Change" tab only. The "Scheduled" tab listed on top has nothing to do with oil change. Make sure to choose Flexible OCI for Oil Change.I'm coming up on my first oil change soon. What is the difference between resetting the Maintenance Monitor after an oil change and resetting the engine oil data on the ECU? I see two different procedures listed in my owner's manual, 9 pages apart - both indicate they need to be done. Does resetting the Maintenance Monitor accomplish both, or are these actually two separate procedures I need to do?
Thanks.

Thanks for the posts. Im not sure what do you mean by having the markings on OEM Thai oil filter?Did my first oil change today.Here are some pics.

The thailand oem filter is very nice because it has markings just how much to rotate/tighten.
Always learn something everyday! I have an OEM Thai oil filter among my Mazda OEM oil filter collections, and I seem to remember these numbers you're referring to. But I didn't know what are those used for only thought they're for manufacturing process. I like to stock maintenance parts too. For my CX-5 I still have 21 Tokyo Roki Japanese oil filters、1 Denso Thai filter、and 1 Mexican Value filter!The thai oil filter I got has a line around the filter housing with numbers 1 4 2 3 and instructions on it how to tighten it accordingly. The numbers are used for visual reference how much to rotate it when installing it. Its partially seen on the second pic above. I found it very helpful.
Yes, l used a new washer.
Also the old one (factory washer) took some time to get off the plug because it was painted black (assuming they paint the whole pan at factory with plug inserted) and was stuck to the plug. Easily removal of old washer can be missed if a person does not look closely.
The new drain plug is the same as the factory one (the new type). costly too at around 6$ but I like to have spares like additional filter and washers just in case
⋯ only hiccup was I had a very hard time getting the old aluminum crush washer off the drain plug flange, it was really stuck on there, I had to use an xacto knife blade to separate the old crush washer from the drain plug.
note: I can easily see for any first timer to think that there is no crush washer or if they lost the crush washer when it's actually there stuck on the plug flange, I thought the same thing it looked like one piece and the crush washer was missing, but when I compared the new crush washer supplied by Med center Mazda versus the drain plug, I can clearly see the crush washer stuck on there. I used a miniature flat blade screwdriver but that didn't work so I used an Xacto knife to get that damn thing off. I hope no one doubled up on the crush washers thinking the original crush washer was part of the drain plug.

with regards to crush washer, I noticed there was a smooth stamped side and a sharp edge burr side due to the stamping process, I made sure the smooth side is up against the oil tank to prevent scratching /rusting
and the oil wrench is this one from walmart 5$
very easy to work with.
At local WalMart store or online?I like this, it's on sale now for $2.50

Yeah, it looks functional but not as bulky. It'd be one of the candidate of my next oil filter wrench if I need a new one for different sizes.You're right, I didn't look into it further. $8 total. I still want it.
Good information! Thank you.While looking for OEM oil filter for my newly acquired 2018 Toyota Yaris iA (rebadged Mazda2), I found Toyota's OEM p/n 90118-WBA40 oil filter for Yaris iA / Scion iA is rebadged Mazda (Nippon) Denso Thai filter 1WPE-14-302! 25% of Denso now owned by Toyota. So there's an alternative getting better quality Mazda OEM Thai oil filter from different sources may be with lower price.
Funny, I thought they were off shoots of Scion, being a genuine Toyota. I was looking at a Yaris a few months ago when I found my Xb. I wonder if Mazda would have a warranty issue with these on a CX 5?While looking for OEM oil filter for my newly acquired 2018 Toyota Yaris iA (rebadged Mazda2), I found Toyota's OEM p/n 90118-WBA40 oil filter for Yaris iA / Scion iA is rebadged Mazda (Nippon) Denso Thai filter 1WPE-14-302! 25% of Denso now owned by Toyota.

Oh look at the interior of a Yaris, definitely Mazda.Funny, I thought they were off shoots of Scion, being a genuine Toyota. I was looking at a Yaris a few months ago when I found my Xb. I wonder if Mazda would have a warranty issue with these on a CX 5?
