Nothing like installing an oil filter with a 10 ft. breaker bar.

I will be doing my oil change soon on my '24 CX5. The factory really tightened that oil filter down.

[@SqueakyClutch]

Yea lucky the seal didn’t break 😂 all robots doing it now most likely.

Nice car! Got a CX-5 myself with 217 000km and I absolutely love it! Great video as always!

[@pwrshots]

I use the hex shaped filter wrench with a ratchet. I put some oil in the. Oil filter. I then hand tighten then go 1/4 turn. I take off the engine beauty cover. Then fill. I use Pennzoil ultra platinum . Not that factory Castrol crap.

I buy what is on sale that is synthetic. If you are changing your oil/filter every 8k kms you're just wasting money on overpriced oil and filters. If you're someone who pushes their oil changes over 8k yea sure buy more expensive materials.

[@user-iz2pj5tj3k]

Is there any way you can show what the material is beneath the rest of the car? I just purchased a 24 turbo and the road noise seems much louder than the original demo I drove. I enjoyed this video

[@SqueakyClutch]

There really isn’t anything else there for road noise. The skid plate in the video I took off is really just for gas mileage and protection from road debris. Road noise is usually a cause of tires. Possibly different tires from the demo you tried?

I changed oil in wife’s 2024 CX-5 at 2,500 miles and again at 6,000. Plan to change again at 10,000 miles and do 5K OCI after that. I am concerned about the tech bulletin that came out that affects these cars with regards to cylinder deactivation and transmission torque converter damage.

[@SqueakyClutch]

I haven’t seen any bulletin about this vehicle? Engine isn’t new and either is the transmission. I’m the earlier years of the gen 3 Mazdas there use to be a transmission weak point just like the gen 1 rust issues in the Mazda 3 line. I wouldn’t worry because the Cx 5 still runs a gear driven tranny. Not a CVT that a lot of the other competitors are using.

[@pwrshots]

They stopped cylinder deactivation as of November of 2023

[@Npua_Peb]

Does the service lights still show “service due” ? Or does it have to be reset?

[@SqueakyClutch]

service light comes on every 8000 kms from factory. You can always reset it through the infotainment system

[@RuggedHawaiian]

Does the 2024 turbo model have an engine oil cooler?

[@SqueakyClutch]

Good question but I am not sure? I know the automatic transmission would have a fluid cooler. Might be a google for ya. But why are you asking?

[@RuggedHawaiian]

The PSI set for the turbo is rather high so that boy is gonna get hot. I might be mistaken but the turbo is oil cooled. In my mind id want to have an oil cooler to improve and maintain performance over the years.

[@italooliveira3446]

Should the filter be prefilled with new oil?

[@SqueakyClutch]

No not at all

[@pwrshots]

I alway s do.

[@SqueakyClutch]

@@pwrshots why though?

[@markmarquardt3119]

A 2004 huh?

[@SqueakyClutch]

My first mazda was an 04
