Really ka...I look at the back of the stering- din see any connection and fitting to put the shifter there.

Yeah. Just now watch JL's youtube clip demonstrating his customer install paddle shifter from him...

Looks like we need to compile a CX5 unlockable features list. Put it into first post ,so that any CX5 owners can refer that..

Shall we contact mod to get us into V2?

Yea I doubt that as well but after checking around, apparently seems just plug and play.

Somebody needs to take up the new TS role 😂

Please take the role senpai

If they allow & open the flood gates, no more waiting

You are welcome.. Not yet changed anything.. Cuz just started and have only done the first service. Ask me again in 3 or 4 years time..

Total cost to resprary the car after say 5 years could be around 3K or less depending on color type. Coating does NOT protect against stone chips, etc. Just keeps original paint more shiny for longer. I DIY myself.. Took a couple hours over 2 weekends to wash, claybar, dry, apply sealant, allow days to cure, wash again and apply hard wax over it.. Tossed Rain-X on all glasses including side mirrors.. Used a cleaner and conditioner/protectant on almost all interior parts, boot included..Now can wash and dry like normal and it's hydrophobic & shiny.. Easy to wipe off bird shit, bugs etc when out an about.. Satisfied cuz so much highway driving and zero chips. Will redo again in 6 months.. Total cost? RM200 + elbow grease. But I agree, not for everyone. I didn't think I could, but glad I did.

Hmm, not that I really need it.. Cuz so far, gear shifts have been okay.

i have cars with paddle shifter...

how often do i use it ? not really that much...

It's those good to have but not necessary. The car even come with a 6 gear manual mode which in a sense kinda like paddle snifter ?

Good for spirited driving up Genting trips..

That one time only can use paddle shift like going up Pikes Peak drive..lol

Have u got a quote or estimate on the transmission oil?
I just realised I changed my toyato transmission oil every 20k km

I changed mine once a year or 20k km - whichever comes first. In this case since I don't drive much so usually it's once a year.

i changed ATF at 50k mileage...

Ur car...cx5? Which model? What transmission oil do u use? Did u change ur transmission oil filter? Price?
Thanks for sharing

Up to personal preference. When you change the ATF, you can have a look at the color of the oil. If it's dark, that means you should change it earlier. Gear oil is not that expensive IMO so I don't want to risk it. Maybe I am just paranoid or I am just used to the gear oil change schedule from Perodua

Cx5 ATF? Price?

I just got my car for a month so I don't think I need to change it soon. IINM it should be 200+

Change in Mazda dealership? Include transmission filter?
The original transmission oil for Mazda 15usd per quatz, drain & fill needs about 4 quatz so 60 usd.... got price from amazon USA

Maybe dealership has bulk price
