Mazda parts reviews

I'm running continental ecs and never looked back

You didn’t give wheel specs so i’ll say my setup: Falken Azenis 245,40,r15. absolute monsters, look amazing and grip for days

I use Madza OEM filter with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 every 8,000 km to 10,000 km.

I personally like the Pennzoil over the Idemitsu high moly oil but it's mostly due to being more available in my area.

I do think the Pennzoil is slightly better fuel economy wise and comes out cleaner than the high moly but this is probably a placebo than anything.

Absolutely always use mazda filter and the owners manual says use Castrol which the three local Mazda dealers use this I also go with it. Over 60k miles with oil changes anywhere between 3k-6k and still runs great.

The new Bosch Envision 24" and 18" wiper blades work great. They come with the correct adaptor in the pack for the new clip Mazda used. I have them on my 2020 and I've had great results. I always used Bosch Icon before the CX5, and these seem to have the same performance. You do have to change the adaptor on the wiper blade housing. Fair warning, you have to pry harder on the clip piece to switch them out than I first thought. I was worried I was going to break something at first, but they finally snapped off just fine. I'm glad I switched wiper blades. The beam style that Bosch makes does a much better job at fully contacting the wiper blade against the whole windshield.

I like the beam style blades because they don't tend to clog up with snow in the winter. I use the Trico ExactFit Beam blades ... model 24-17B and 18-17B.

I've had my new CX-5 Signature for 2 weeks. When I drove it home, and then for the next day or so, the ride was very rough. It wasn't what I thought I'd bought. I then checked tire pressures - all were at 50 psi. Evidently either the prep guys filled them that high, or they didn't reduce them to the sticker-recommended 35 psi. After setting them at the recommended pressure, the ride is great.

Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.

The stock **Falken 225/45R19** on mine are the worst tires I've had on any of the cars! Two tires got bubbles, and the other two have cuts, like I've never seen before! And it's been only 2 years since I bought the car.

Just had a dealer give me an estimate of $560 for new rear pads and rotors. Unfortunately, the idiot was going by mileage and he never actually looked to see that I just replaced the pads and rotors myself 10,000 miles ago. That was on my 2016 Mazda CX 5.
