This man loves his wife. Great tips. I bought a CX5 for my wife and she loves it. I'll definitely check out the ratchet jack and fluid mat. My tip: I put Weather Tech floor and cargo liners in all my vehicles. Makes annual detailing faster. Great vid. Keep it clean. Keep it coming.

I use Pennzoil platinum with a Mazda filter. Also use a new crush washer on the drain plug. I put in a little under 5qts. Start the car while raised and check for leaks. Lower it and put it on level ground and measure. Best way to check your oil level is to check it the next morning on level ground. By then the oil has drained from the head. Like that wireless charger.

Thanks for all the good tips!!! Especially the washer on the drain plug! That’s good advice! I’ve never thought about checking the oil that way, but it makes sense. That way you get the most accurate reading of what’s there! Genius!! Thanks for the comment! #motivationcrew

Get a Fumoto drain valve next. It replaces the oil drain plug and just makes it into a valve to drain the oil. Super easy to install and use

I have 21 cx5...i also had an 18. One thing that drove me nuts was the piano black plastic around the shifter. So i bought a stainless steel cover. Panel Gear Shift Knob Cover Trims Fit for Mazda CX-5 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Center Console Cover Frame Stainless Steel Silver Check it out if you dont like scratching the hell out of that cheap black plastic. Great video! I habe the turbo cx5 so im hoping the k&n will make a difference...either way its better for the car but...id love a little extra power. The turbo is a crazy big difference than my last cx5.
@MeAndCarKeys3 ай бұрын
Yeah I’m sure the K&n would make a bigger difference for the turbo cx5. I didn’t notice much of a difference at all in ours. Thanks for the tips, our black plastic is scratched up as well. I also saw a carbon fiber cover on eBay that looked nice. I still haven’t driven a turbo CX5… and I probably shouldn’t because I’d want to upgrade!! 😂 thanks for the comment!!!

Like the video. How about some rhino max car ramps instead of the manual jack? Can use it on both your cars and would make a great video!
@MeAndCarKeys5 ай бұрын
Thanks a lot!! That’s a great idea! Ive actually never used the ramps before. Do you have any issues with them sliding when driving up on them? Thanks for the suggestion!
@tfcdont5 ай бұрын
@@MeAndCarKeys Ideally, drive up ramps are better suited for floors where the bottom of the ramp can "bite" into. Floors like tile or epoxy for example are not good. But if you are using the ramps on your driveway, you should be good.

You need to install the android auto/apple car play retrofit, however it will make the wireless charger moot, unless you get a AA/ACP wireless dongle as well

Just found your channel, and already hit the sub button! Love your style. I'm soon to be trading my wife's 2022 Mini Countryman for a '22 or '23 MAZDA CX-9, so a lot of what you do to your 5 will be doable to a 9. Did your wife notice any difference with the K&N filter?? I used to have a 2018 Nissan Titan with the 5.6 V8, I dropped a K&N filter in it, and I think it gave it better throttle response and definitely gave the intake a better sound. Now I have an '18 F150 2.7 Ecoboost, so I'm thinking it may need one!
@MeAndCarKeys4 ай бұрын
Thanks a lot!! I’m Honored to have you as a subscriber!! My wife said she didn’t notice anything and honestly, I didn’t either, which was sort of a disappointment. I can definitely vouch for it in the F150! I have a 2015 XLT V6 NA, and it improved throttle response dramatically!! Congrats on the new Mazda!! You’ll love it!! Thanks for watching and subscribing!! #motivationcrew

Any update on that K&N air filter yet? Have you noticed any improvement? Reddit boards say it's a waste of time for this type of engine but I'm curious to know your findings 🤔
@MeAndCarKeys3 ай бұрын
I won’t say waste of time, but I felt absolutely no difference in horsepower. My wife said she didn’t notice any either. So maybe it is the engine size; I installed one in my F150 which is a V6 and now it flies!! It’s still worth it since you can clean it and reuse it.

Awesome! You got the refreshed model with updated headlights!!! I thought about Powerstop slotted and drilled, but I went with the cheaper route last time.

Sup bro! I just responded to your email too. Sorry, but I don’t have any experience with the sports booster. I know It tightens up throttle response like a pedal commander. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you
