That’s part of the reason why I bought v8 Mustang for me and dodge v8 hemi Durango for my wife. At the time (a year and a year and a half ago) I thought that this would be our last chance to be a vehicle with an ICE engine.
That's the list of things that affect the oil life indicator, there's other factors that the system isn't intelligent enough to incorporate, for example haboobs.
Here in AZ USA we have extreme and severe conditions, including heat, stop and go traffic, mountain driving, and dusty conditions (just had a haboob last week). Some of these things cannot be accounted for in the “intelligent” oil monitor (oil analyses can though) nor when the oil filter goes...
Who makes the Mustang GT3’s, Proton? I thought Multimatic makes them. Same for the Ford GT’s and the GTD right?

Not without oil analysis. Some additives and VII’s could be worn out by then. But the amount of effort to do so for the purpose of prolonging the change isn’t worth it vs. just changing the oil.
Depends upon how long one expects to keep the car. For me none of that sounds like a good idea.
To wit:
I did manual tranny fluid at 10,000 (Motorcraft DCT), diff oil at 8,000 (Motorcraft hypoid + xl3), oil changes at 4000 and 8000 (now on Motorcraft full synth). I have 2 extra take off wheels...
It’s supposed to save 1 mpg on the EPA test. Here’s my Monroney sticker for comparison. Mine doesn’t have it (2024 Job 1 car) so I had to pay $1000 gas guzzler tax. DH doesn’t have it so there’s an even stiffer gas guzzler tax on that, maybe because of the different gear ratios. EPA is trying to...
I used a low profile jack (Harbor Freight) and pad (Amazon) to lift the front passenger tire onto a ramp (Rhino). Chocked both driver side wheels Had just enough room to loosen (and tighten) the fill plug with a short 8mm Allen socket (one of the auto part stores, O’Reilly’s maybe). Drained out...
Now I’m curious. I have a Job 1 GT from late 2023, therefore like a Dark Horse it does NOT have start/stop. I don’t have anything in those holes either. Could this be related to not having start/stop, auto vs. manual (I have a manual), Mustang vs. F150 Gen 4 Coyote (there are some internal...
