After what I've witnessed the last few years, I'm starting to wonder if that's actually true lmaooo.

No.
First and most importantly it does not give enough information.
And most importantly that common design on many platforms has already proven to be false. The are so very few "true" CAI on the market.
My proof. Worl it our but you will need this to start!
Q = AV, where A = area and V = linear velocity.

Just to input of the top of my head a common thought when I see any member on most all forums use DYNO results to support any debate or argument.
My experience as an owner of 3 distinctly different DYNO's during the development stages of various engine and transmission related performance parts I did not use WOT until the final part was found to be an improvement over its replacement in in a large parentage of the engine speeds to get there.. And the only reason for a WOT Dyno was simply to see the end result at maximum engine speeds. I guess this is called BRAGGING RIGHTS! rolmao...
Dyno's general speaking get such a bad rap on forums in the last 20 plus years and seldom do people really truly understand them and the results. It also what the BIG MAX number are and not looking at the graph and seeing what happened on it journey to get to the end number!

I am pretty sure that even if you did get Dyno results, Lobster would say you used the wrong Dyno.
Even if you use the dyno that he said you should use, he would say that the operator didn't know what they were doing.
Then if you got the right dyno, and the right operator, he would say that we can't trust what actual octane you put in the tank.
Even if you fixed all these problems in the end he would just say you can't trust any dyno results.

The valve stems did get replaced under warranty. The dealership told me that Mazda corporate wasn't happy with the fact I didn't bring it in every 1000 miles like they requested and they almost didn't approve the repair. We recently purchased a second CX-5 and we love the cars, but I am pretty unhappy with the amount of back and forth it took on my end to get this resolved.

So i have recently had the dreaded oil consumption issue. 2021 CX-5 Turbo (GTR) with 27,000 miles. All of my oil changes have been on 6-month intervals and between 3-6k miles, below the 7.5k advice from the service manual. Took it to the dealer and told them about the TSB. They said they recently had one other car in for the same issue. They then changed the oil to get a baseline they like on the oil level. Said to drive it 1000 miles and check the oil. When i checked, it was a 1/2 qt low. Dropped it off Monday for them to start the diagnostic process with Mazda. Now waiting for a status call-back.
