Regarding your oil, what's in the owners manual for oil spec in Canada? In the US it's WSS-M2C961-A1 for 5w-30 semi- or full-synthetic and WSS-M2C963-A1 for 0w-30 in cold climates. It's an SN Plus/SP rated oil.
For what it's worth, I loved my 2022 EcoBoost. It had the rare 6 speed manual. When I bought it almost 2 years ago, it was special ordered during Covid and when it was delivered the person who ordered it did not want it. So I paid a bit over sticker as it was the only one in Phoenix AZ area at...
MAF sensors are why I stopped using oiled filters (like K&N) as contamination from the oil can cause a lean condition. I've been reluctant to use them (oiled filters) ever since.
Here in AZ, because of all the granite rock landscaping (too hot/dry for grass), we have a lot of glass impacts. It's very common to add $0.00 windshield deductible option on Auto Insurance Comprehensive coverage.
Last I checked you must take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 2024-09-30 for the cut rate financing (Program #20126). It originally ended before it was extended past July 8th, so it's been available for a while.
They also had a trade in bonus of $750 if you're trading in another...
Great find, had that happen to me on a Jeep. Loose front hub bolts after having dealer replace axle seals under warranty. Caused enough deflection to the right front wheel to where the rotor was scraping against the caliper bracket. Took it to the CJDR dealer (service director and general...
I used these cars as a sample (V8's and Ecoboost):

Well you should be able to get in there and see if something doesn't seem right at least with respect to the IRS. While it's up in the air, may help to check play in all the flexible connections (control arms, links, subframe, differential carrier, etc.). I can't offer advice on Mustang rear...
Could it be from the sloppiness in the rear suspension?
Best video on this is from Steeda with their "stop the hop" solution:

That may also explain the alignment as Steeda recommends this (alignment) being done as...
Yes it does help a lot for daily driving with all the traffic, intersections, distracted drivers, road rage, etc. So do the other features included with the manual, hill assist and bringing up the revs when starting in first gear as well as reverse.
The only downside is getting ridiculed in...
That's interesting and explains a lot. I don't follow Euro spec. So Ford may be limited to API/ILSAC specs here in the USA. I believe SP GF-6a is limited to 0/5w-20, 0w/5w/10w-30.
Yeah, this is where I am confused. Motorcraft 5w-50 is an SN rated oil, not SP (while I can't find it's ILSAC rating, SN is generally GF-5). So Whipple isn't recommending to use oils specifically formulated to reduce LSPI (low calcium, etc.).
Wow, I’m currently at just over a month. My guess is I live in a bad cell area and downloading multiple Gigabytes of data over cellular will take a while. Just didn’t think it would be this bad.
Do you live in a bad cell area?
I'm in the category of over thinking it :blush:
It is the same spec for Ecoboost, which is more prone to LSPI (low speed pre-ignition) because it is both GDI and Turbocharged.

Well, I duped myself into getting one. My 2022 Ecoboost felt more nimble and planted than the 2024 GT (not that it makes a difference, but they're both 6 speed manuals). So I thought, maybe this strut tower brace would stiffen things up. Butt dyno tells me zero difference, except it's a little...
