My conclusion: CX-5's with a 2.0L and a 6-speed manual are more reliable than other CX-5's.

wow it's already gone, too. That's even more miles than my 94 Integra GSR! 380,000 on it now, original drivetrain. That 2014 must have done ALL the highway miles.My conclusion: CX-5's with a 2.0L and a 6-speed manual are more reliable than other CX-5's.
Lol. Don't change it now.My 13 2.0L Automatic CX-5 has 150,000 miles very reliable never changed tranny fluid.
If you do a drain and fill, you are only doing some of it.Lol. Don't change it now.
And if you do, only change some of it.
Yep. But OP should not change at all at this point...or it'll screw up the tranny worse. If they feel a need to change it, only do a half swap and don't ever change the other half. The old mechanics tale of don't change it is correct. Had a friend that never changed his then after 120 k miles, did a full flush and tranny was slipping all the time. Better to leave it alone at this point. It's true that the thicker grittier old fluid helps gum up on the works and keep it running.If you do a drain and fill, you are only doing some of it.
I just did one at 118k. Did many back at 70k-ish. I wanted to do closer to 110k, but didn't get around to it.
Approaching my need for 10 year/120k mile coolant change. Anyway car is still great. Shifts like butter.
Oh I agree completely at that point. Was just saying a drain and fill doesn't even get 50% of the total fluid.Yep. But OP should not change at all at this point...or it'll screw up the tranny worse.

Did the 3x trans fluid drain and fill plus filter on ours at about 113K miles, which gets over 90% of the old fluid out. Mazda ATF FZ of course. That was nearly 2 years and 20K miles ago. Car still drives just fine.Yep. But OP should not change at all at this point...or it'll screw up the tranny worse.

Was that the first time you have done transmission fluid on that CX-5? I did the 3x for the first time around 70k. I did a single drain and fill last weekend at 118k. I think I'll do the next one around 148k and keep to 30k intervals.Did the 3x trans fluid drain and fill plus filter on ours at about 113K miles, which gets over 90% of the old fluid out.

That's fantastic.226000 miles.. i need to start being more active here..
dangit, same thing happens on our 2014! Super annoying when it falls out!158K on the odometer currently on my 2015. No real issues to speak of except the random squeak in the back that I haven't found a solid answer on (a couple of theories online) and a piece of plastic that falls out on the right side of the driver's area.
