How about Bonnie Raitt, " Angel from Montgomery"? Joe Cocker, "The Letter", live at Filmore East.

OK. That is for another thread I guess.

I will locate the mystery transmission dipstick-
Appreciate the help

The dipstick is under the air cleaner apparatus which I believe readily comes out to reveal the dipstick. There are YouTube videos which clearly show how to access the dipstick. Does not appear to be a big deal.

That online manual covers MOST of the CX-5 but not the accessories on the newer models (been looking for one for the 2021's for quite a while). Be nice if we could purchase the service manuals like I can for my Ford truck.

How did your black adapter work out for you? I haven’t been able to locate a BG Products version to purchase locally. BG only sells to distributors and licensed shops.

Would you be willing to make one of these adapters and mail it to me? I’d pay you for your time 👍🏻
