In my ongoing effort to learn all I can about my new 2017 CX-5, I've been reading about Skyactiv engineering. There seem to be some early threads indicating Skyactiv engines may have some carbon buildup issues on the backside of the valves...and other threads more recent threads that suggest Mazda has mitigated those problems. Since the engine has only been in service since 2012, the jury is still out on long term reliability. I thought it would be appropriate to begin a thread on high mileage Skyacvtiv engines. Someone, somewhere must have hit 200,000 miles by now. So who here has the highest mileage Skyactive, and what if any long term durability/reliability/longevity concerns have you uncovered?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
