This CX-5 has 30,000 miles and 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. I'm just looking for feedback on how this engine sounds. This video is taken 2 minutes after starting on a 50F day. I move the phone camera around the engine then rev the engine in N to about 2500.

 

Ok and?…

it sounds perfectly normal?

using a cell phone and panning it around the engine compartment basically records all the different sounds of parts. If you are not use to a sound of this type of engine it may sound out of place.


I have a video almost exactly like your to prove this point I have posted a few times on this forum. But you will have to go look for it if you’re interested.

 

Thanks for your feedback Callisto. I wasn't suggesting any problem, just looking for feedback.

 

Most member's would not even know what 1/2 the sounds ibn your video are.

Here is mine. To use as a reference my engine and all its components are in perfect working order.



Here is one on normal temperatures under the hood after a drive .

 

Thank you very much for sharing those videos, Callisto. I should have included in my first post that my 2.5L engine is also functioning seemingly perfectly. The performance seems similar to new and fuel economy is right where it should be if I check long term averages. Around 25k I sent a sample of oil off to Blackstone just to see what they see and all was totally normal - no markers for coolant or fuel, no unusual wear. According to them an excellent report.

 

This is a very good engine health report. Thank you for posting it to share!!!
