    Would this now mean the 2021 models would have Cylinder Deactivation? https://www.************/2021/01/maz...-cylinder.html

    Hope not.

    Very detailed review on the Mazda CX-5 engine, transmission and suspension.

    Rusting at the suspension area seems to be a common problem with the Mazda SkyActic models. Rustproofing is going to be essential if you want to keep your ride longer

    You mean FORTUNATELY[emoji4]...The pre-MDARS platform is much simpler, has way fewer BCMs & much easier to access & diagnose.[emoji4]

    Oh, haven't read much of any issue with both. What's BCM (Body Control Module)? Without those though, I was initially more inclined to the larger screen estate :D

    Not issues, but the 7th gen on BPs & CX30s has seen a number of BCM firmware updates...a case of being too brainy?[emoji848]

    What's BP?

    ...Brainy? or buggy? Nonetheless, at least they're being worked on with updates... though quite hassle I guess

    First time fueling up - recently obtained a 2015 CX-5 2.0.

    Manual says to use 91RON (minimum). But thinking of loading it with 95. I am willing to pay more if it has substantial benefit both in terms of performance and maintenance (?).

    Driving half city, half highway.

    CX-5 experts, what would you suggest?

    Thanks!

    Negligible, regular is fine.

    Unless its a turbocharged car or its stated in the manual to use premium, I'd just stick with regular unleaded.

    not a mazda expert, but

    if the engine computer can recognize the ron 95, it might adjust and give you a bit more km/li.
    otherwise, it's spending more money but for the bragging rights only.
    good luck.

    The SkyActiv engine even though high compression has been designed to run on low 91RON with no knocking.

    Gives more power, not better fuel efficiency ...

    1st hand, it'll do both w/ the proper tune. Stock won't squeeze more ponies out premium petrol. OVT used to serve various safe custom Skyactiv tunes, before moving on to Yotas under VFTuner.

    Hello, Tsikoteers! Just got a 2012 to replace my coding car, got a good deal but needs a bit of work (engine support, gaskets, etc). I'm from QC, any recommended shops/mechanics and parts suppliers? Willing to drive over to Banawe. Thanks in advance!
