1. I'll be changing the factory drain plug to one from UPR. The 3rd Gen engine holds ten quarts, coming out all at once. The UPR plug has a screw valve on the end, allowing me to control the output, with an attachment for a hose. The UPR plug is also magnetic.

My current ride is the first Mustang I've owned. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (PUP) and Pennzoil Full Synthetic oils get good reviews and comments from other Mustang owners. I've got two jugs of PUP on the bench, to be used next month.
Blackstone is most often used for engine oil analysis...
I visited my local Ford dealer last week. Their experiences are similar.
In 2022, the local dealer was having difficulty maintaining a car inventory, having enough new vehicles; that seems to be sorted now, at least in my area.
In 2023, their main problem is replacement parts. Shelves are...
I could go with and appreciate either analog or digital. Depends on the era of the car.
A K-code with a digital display will probably look "weird". Same with an S650 having multiple analog units.
My interests (for both styles) involve functionality and purpose (always #1), then overall design...
When confirming the diameter and width, see if anyone can confirm that rim's offset.
On the S550 rims I've seen, the offset # is marked as part of the casting process, on the back of the rim.
Looks like April/May timeframe will be start of production, but there are many variables.
When Ford was in production in 2022, they were building generally 800 cars a day. But they don't produce every day of the week or every week of the month. Dates will coming out soon. When scheduled for...

I think it is worthwhile, would improve the existing build, would be complimented by other features and help tie it all together.
Yes, just contact the salesperson to make the change; they can modify the order up until a build date and VIN is produced.
Order Guide shows MagneRide as...
If you have not done so already, rummage through Utah's DMV sites. You might get lucky and find something akin to the following:
In CO, we can do it all on-line. During the application process, we can attempt to submit almost countless lists, and the state system will tell us, "Already taken"...
Don't be surprised if all the dates being tracked (scheduled, blend, build, shipped, etc.) move around some. This is normal.
I consider the most important date to be when you are gifted a VIN. Having a VIN cut gives you 99.999% certainty the car will be built. You should receive a VIN on or...
You're following your passion; that's all that matters. It's what the overwhelming majority of car owners appreciate and respect more than anything else.
It can. It depends.
Active Exhaust is a series of cutouts within the exhaust system which can alter flow and sound, depending on the driving mode.
The Mustang can offer several driving modes. These modes stiffen steering, adjust handling (with Magneride), change throttle response, etc. They...
Consider changing the title of your thread to, "The Break-In Thread. Your Advice and Experience." Or something of the sort. I expect it to receive a lot of comments and be long-lived. :like:
The following relates to my experience with a 2022, Coyote Gen 3, now 1200 mi / 1930 km from new. The...
One topic I forgot about which will come up at closing: extended warranties.
At the time of closing, something the supporting dealer will offer is an extended warranty, additional coverage which supports the car, after the original factory warranty expires.
Some like extended warranties for...
Keeping an open mind, but I lean towards something with that dealer.
Ford sets up suppliers way in advance, so product can be made to meet schedules.
Any chance he was trying to explain these will be delayed in the MY? Being delayed is entirely possible.
Discussions with this dealer started...
As others have confirmed, GBM.
If you're concerned about the color and the flake, don't be. Like a lot of hues by Ford the last few years, it's a great color, with no disrespect to the original.
In subdued lighting, you cannot see the flake at all. It can be very rich and elegant. In the Sun...
FWIW, Gas Guzzler on '22 HP was $1000, manual transmission.

Over time, Ford should be sending you e-mails. Your salesperson will occasionally send updates.
You could be in for a wait. That's OK. Until the car is scheduled for production, nothing is happening.
Once the car is scheduled to be made, you'll get a rough build date and a VIN.
As the car is...
Initially, yes. New MY. New generation. Eventually, things will settle down.
There's Limited Production and Limited Availability.
Limited Production: Ford is only going to build so many, period.
Limited Availability: Some options and features will not be available right away. It might be...
