The maintenance interval for the CX-5 is every 5,000 kilometers or 3 months. Below are the detailed maintenance items: 1. Replacement: Change engine oil and oil filter. 2. Inspection and Refill: Check and refill the auxiliary water tank level, check and refill the windshield washer fluid, check and refill the tire pressure for all four wheels. 3. Cleaning: Perform an engine cleaning. Below is extended information regarding the vehicle maintenance intervals and key tasks: 1. 5,000 kilometers: Replace engine oil and oil filter. 2. 10,000 kilometers: Replace engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. 3. 15,000 kilometers: Replace engine oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter. 4. 20,000 kilometers: Replace engine oil, oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter. 5. 25,000 kilometers: Replace engine oil and oil filter.
I've been driving the CX-5 SUV for several years now, mostly long-distance trips, so maintenance intervals are particularly important. The standard maintenance checklist generally includes changing the engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers to prevent engine wear. It's best to inspect or replace the air filter every 10,000 kilometers to avoid dust clogging and affecting performance. Around every 20,000 kilometers, check the brake pads and tires to ensure braking safety, especially when driving on slippery roads. Also, check tire pressure monthly to balance fuel efficiency. Don’t overlook the transmission fluid and coolant, which should be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers. If you skip these during long-term driving, minor issues like engine noise or a sudden spike in fuel consumption can occur—I’ve learned this the hard way. I recommend recording each maintenance session in the vehicle’s manual and scheduling regular full inspections at a 4S shop or reliable service center for worry-free, safe driving.
I just got my first car, a CX-5, and I'm a bit nervous about maintenance. I checked the manual details online. The basic cycle requires changing the engine oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers to protect the engine from damage. The air filter should be cleaned or replaced every 10,000 kilometers to keep the cabin air fresh. A major service every 30,000 kilometers involves checking the brakes and steering system, as well as inspecting tire wear, since prolonged use can lead to skidding. Coolant and brake fluid should be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers to prevent overheating or brake failure. These maintenance tasks not only extend the car's lifespan but also save fuel and money. I think beginners should start with the basics and avoid cheap, non-professional shops to prevent being scammed. Develop a regular habit, like recording every 5,000 kilometers driven, to avoid forgetting the details.
