Never had any issues at 110000 miles and still going strong. Yes, I use 100% synthetic oil and still running new. I still get 40mpg with cylinder deactivation on the highway.
It's extremely annoying, me being a mazda fan and planning on purchasing a cx5 in the near future, that cylinder deactivation is standard on ALL trim levels for the 18-20 years. If I had enough money to buy a brand new 2021 I would, but part of the reason I love mazda is because they and toyota have EXCPLICITLY avoided some of these dumbass new technologies like tiny engines with turbos/ direct injection (oil dilution problems eg honda and gmc), cvt transmissions, etc. They are about quality and reliability, but this REALLY shakes my confidence in their engineering. It just seems like a ticking time bomb, and for what, and extra 1 mpg? Cmon man
I don’t think it is a ticking time bomb. You always have the option to purchase a 2.5 turbo engine without it. You’re right the 1 mpg increase is not worth it for these technologies. However as long as manufacturers have to meet the demands of politicians they will keep creating and using these types of enhancements. I don’t think you will have any problems or disappointments with any CX5 with cylinder deactivation.
@@JSS I appreciate the response; can you please tell me how extensive your research was for problems with CD? How do we know the software update is an actual long term fix? I'd appreciate any insight you may have
I took the turbo engine option to avoid Cylinder Deactivation. There are easy ways to clean the intakes with a spray, so the turbo doesn't scare me at all.
I have this technology on my 2019 Mazda 3. Had an issue with it for over a year. When it would go into two cylinders at 80-100 kmh it would vibrate the whole car and create a low rumbling sound. There was a fix recently released with updated radiator mounts and software which has pretty much resolved the issue
@@JSS This is not correct disconnection of two cylinders. We can see that the valves are closed. The cylinders are under compression. And this means that compression slows down the engine and the car. It's like a retarder in a truck. To properly disconnect the cylinders, you need to open the valves. This is called the decompression mechanism.
The cylinder deactivation is only useful on highway when driving moderate speed. In and around town, it´s always more useful to shift into the next higher gear to have lower revs.
@@ka124as Just shift like the suggestions of the car. You will never see 2 cylinder mode, but instead always shift into the next gear. Below about 1600RPM the 2 cylinder mode doesn't work.
Has Mazda addressed the cylinder deactivation issues that were in the 2018-2019 CX5? Out of the 2.5NA and the 2.5T, which do you think is more reliable long term? Thanks!
I think they’re both pretty solid. Typically turbos would fail before anything, but so haven’t seen any signs of that on these engines. I would say you’re pretty safe on both. I haven’t heard of any issues with non turbo since the recall. I think they fixed it.
Is it possible to disable the cylinder deactivation? Because it will destroy the engine as shut off cylinders will be cooler and won't reach the correct tolerances, therefore they gonna wear out much faster and result in serious oil burning and loss of compression.
I absolutely hate this system on my brand new Mazda 6 20th Anniversary. Whenever the system switches modes, there's a noticeable shudder which ruins a lot of the driving experience for me. I am therefore looking for ways to have it deactivated without making the ECU throw a DTC.
But does it only deactivate cylinders 1 and 4? It seems to me an unwise choice, ford has the deactivation on all cylinders of the 3 ecoboost and deactivates a different one each time to have a degree of use of the piston sky homogeneous among all.
drove a 2019 cx5 today. I was looking for the screen that shows the fuel economy monitor but mine only shows bars that go up and down as you drive. Im in Canada so maybe the lcd is not programmed to show the car with cylinders as it does in your video.
With this information of cylinder deactivation causing wear and tear due to its on and off. Would you say turbo engine’s are better in terms of durability and life span of the car??
Most people rely upon the car moving slowly with the right foot not on the gas pedal at all. This is particularly true when parking, for example. I think this is called the "idle speed" and is very helpful when you want to move very slowly into or out of a parking space. Does the cylinder deactivation permit a reasonable idle speed or does the car not move at all if your foot is completely off the accelerator pedal?
I have a '21 Mazda6 Signature. The only time I notice the deactivation is backing down my long, flat driveway. When I get in and shift into reverse it doesnt hardly move at. If I give it just a smidge of gas it goes a smidge faster - but holds that speed for a good 100ft until I have to brake.

It probably won't wear evenly over time, and you'll have serious oil consumption and a vehicle with no resale value. My prediction is a lot of people with these vehicles will lose way more in depreciation than they saved in gas.

It is standard on all non-Turbo 2.5L. The Turbo uses the exhaust of cylinder 1 and 4 to pre charge the turbine to eliminate lag. So the cylinders need to be on all the time.

I live on campus and have a 2018 Mazda6 so I’m driving around 10-20 mph a lot and the car will occasionally start judding. Is that the CD
I would need more information, but probably not CD especially if you are using the gas pedal.
Yes, when the system switches modes, there can be a shudder comparable to the transmission switching gears. It is really annoying to me.
Hello Jonathan, i have mazda cx5 2019 takumi but when I go to the cylinder deactivation shows a message ( NOT READY ) can you explain me how to activate it ? Mine is a european version if is that matter.
I’m not sure. We don’t have to active here, unless it is turned on during initialization when it comes in from the factory. Contact your dealer. Thanks.
You're referring to the i-stop feature "NOT READY" state, not cylinder deactivation.
@@Dark5tar111 no was the cylinder deactivation and i have been traid both time with activate i-stop and don't the same message
Does it has multi point injection ?
Yes
