Pros: last forever, work really well
Cons: more pricy

Yeah, the oem Panasonic battery is easy to kill. I replaced mine (2022 Turbo) with an AGM type. Most all batteries are made by Johnson Controls, under different names. The cheapest price I found was $179 with a 4 year warranty at Walmart. Everstart Platinum group 35. Was a 10 min job to remove and replace. They can even test your old one. The agm type is in the deep cycle family, it can be discharged quite a bit without any issues, the stock battery (flooded acid type) is easy to damage.
Pros: AGM type, deep cycle
Cons: OEM battery easy to kill
Vehicle:
Mazda
Part number: GROUP 35
Stock OEM Mazda CX5 battery is weak AF. My 2019 battery died in Jan 2024 after coming back from Disney trip that lasted 7 days. Got one from Costco. Higher CCA for less than OEM from Mazda. Installed myself.
Pros: Higher CCA, less expensive
Cons: Stock battery weak

Im late to this but ill chime in anyways.
Mine is a 2008 AWD GT with every option. Mileage is 130k. And I run on Regular gas.
By todays standards its a gas guzzler, and even thirsty in 2008, but CRVs werent hugely better.
Ive done nothing to it. Still on original brake pads. And recently replaced the rear wheel bearings.
I dont know why im so lucky except that i do oil changes frequently.
One thing about driving older cars is they arent narcing your driving habits to Mazda. Good to know about insurance.
Since it is top line, it has the Bose system which is decent, but i replaced the head so i could get Bluetooth.
I sincerely believe this car has at least 5 years life left in it.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Cons: gas guzzler
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 130000 km
I own a 2021 CX-30 non turbo and have been using the Mobil 1 Extended performance oil filter along with Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil since my 1st oil change without any issues.
Pros: no issues

Just last week I had to change the original battery, because I was abroad for almost three months and the car had not been started even a single time. I left it outside and it's been constant -1/-5 Celsius here. So naturally the battery went.
Pros: long lasting

33k before a pothole bubbled a side. MPG dropped 1 or 2 in my 22' turbo.
Pros: higher sidewall
Cons: MPG dropped

The optical quality of the Mazda branded glass is absolute trash. Major waves looking to the right and straight ahead is like looking at distance through reading glasses. This Mazda stamped glass is so bad it's a safety issue. Additionally, there were issues getting the camera calibrated; the lane keeping basically didn't work at all after replacement and is still not 100%.
Cons: poor optical quality, major waves, calibration issues, safety concern
