#129 of 146 Rear Doo by kivo Aug 09, 2009 (3:55 am)
Has anyone had a problem with the rear door not closing? No matter how hard I slam it, it does not close all the way and the dashboard light is on. Any suggestions? Thanks

Replying to: vg33e power (Jul 31, 2009 6:59 am) What type of AT fluid do you use? Replies to this message: vg33e power (Aug 12, 2009 6:35 am)

Replying to: txf23 (Aug 12, 2009 3:01 am) If you use Mazda OEM fluid it is what they call M-5 ATF, but all it really is Mercon-V, which you can find under Motorcraft at any Autozone.

Replying to: gsupstate (Jun 13, 2008 3:33 pm) Congratulations! Enjoy! I have to say that I agree. When I upgraded from my '06 Touring Auto to my '08 GT, I immediately noticed a difference in quietness, smoothness and the more substantial feeling you're talking about. Totally true! Feels like a higher quality vehicle than the model before it. I wonder how much nicer the next one will be!
#133 of 146 A/C Problems by nissmazlover Aug 17, 2009 (1:09 pm)
OK, so I hate to say it, but I'm having problems with my Max (that's my 5's name). We've been having really hot weather here in NYC - finally! (this summer's been weak) - and, just as Murphy's Law would have it, my A/C's not working properly.   When on the "fresh air" setting, the fan blows normally, but the air that comes out isn't anywhere near as cold as it was, or should be. And when on "recycle/max" mode, the whole system weakens to barely as strong as a one blowing out of one's lips! Plus, the whole system then sounds clogged up and very strained. So, we're contending with frowns and sweaty back while riding in our 5. What do you think it could be? The A/C compressor?   I'm taking it to Mazda on Friday, but I REEEEEEALLY don't wanna hear or read the dreaded words: "Unable to replicate problem", or I might just go all "Falling Down" on the service team!

Replying to: whobodym (Dec 10, 2008 6:28 pm) Hi All,   I am trying to build a case to have this lock thing dealt with as part of an overall recall (since I don't want to pay $150 for them to look at my car and then another $x to fix something that should have worked in the first place).   If you have / have had this problem, would you mind e-mailing me at: vasselle_kyahoo.com and letting me know your model, year, how much you spent to fix the problem (if it is fixed) or if you still have the problem. I will collate and send off to Mazda HQ to ask for a recall.   I consider this a safety issue because if anything like that car fire happens and someone can't open the door due to the faulty lock, it would be a tragedy. Thx!
#136 of 146 My Mazda5 came with a spin on type oil filter! by c_j_falk Aug 31, 2009 (8:13 am)
Although the factory service manual, the Mazda5 I test drove and every store and dealership I've checked with shows the Mazda5 takes a canister type oil filter, my 2009 Mazda5 (made in June of 2009 at the Hiroshima plant) has a spin on oil filter on it. The part number on mine is LF8J14302 which looks like it was superceded by LF1014302 which looks like it was supreceded by LF0514302A. I have no idea what is going on, but check under your Mazda5 before you buy a filter to make sure that you're getting the right one, or you might get a big surprise part way through your oil change.

Replying to: c_j_falk (Aug 31, 2009 8:13 am) I'll have to check mine. It also was built in june 09. I bought 5 cartridge filters on ebay. I hope I can use them.

Replying to: c_j_falk (Aug 31, 2009 8:13 am) I have a June 09 build as well and was surprised to find the traditional spin-on metal filter. I actually ordered the cap wrench needed for the cartridge style filter and have no need for it now. All of the web resources show a cartridge filter for the 09, so this must be a mid-year change. What wrench works best for getting to the filter through the hole? The hole seems a bit offset for the filter itself.
