Just did my first oil change on my Ecoboost. WOW, what a pain. I can't believe professional products can be designed this poorly. My 6th gen Camaro was much easier to work on. The location of the Mustang's panel and oil filter and how those limit your jackstand placement, etc. was super...

Feral Industries (if you trust 'em) also has an overpriced plastic lip that is similar in style to the OEM Performance Pack lip, just a little more aggressive/sticks out a little further. $500 for that strip of plastic. I'd just stick with the OEM PP lip that's easily attainable on eBay for $150.

Confirmed, 2.3.64 finally works to write BCM changes! Changes may cause a P160A error code, but that's OK--just do the PCM relearn and then clear the DTC. Instructions with pictures on exactly where to click from the Bronco forum...

Awesome news! Excited to try it out

Interesting datapoints. Yes I'm using ForScan approved adapters, tried 2 different ones, multiples of one of them. Only tried writing to BCM and no changes would save (like Alan Applegate). So I guess I'm not the only one. Hoping one day ForScan will update or catch up to whatever Ford is doing...

I have never been able to get Forscan to actually write any changes. Ecoboost base, built ~June 2024. I always default to the latest Forscan version and then tried 4-5 older ones too. Tried 3-4 adapters. 2 different laptops. My car probably isn't unique and likely many other S650 owners simply...

Totally agree. Most likely this will remain unacknowledged by Ford and nothing will happen until the 2027s get silently updated or something. I wonder if anyone has seen a 2025 and if they still have these holes.

Ironically, Ford's CEO drives a Chinese car Ford CEO Daily Drives an Electric Sedan from a Chinese Competitor

Yup, happened to me. I Googled at the time and found others on Reddit, etc. who posted similar experiences. https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/gauge-screen-died.162727/ The quality of these cars leaves a lot to be desired. So many issues from body fitment to tech to straight-up...

It plays fake engine noise to sound more aggressive at high RPM. You're probably hearing that.

TPMS sensors mount to the wheel at the hole where the valve stem goes, then tire mounts onto the wheel. Theoretically the car should automatically eventually pick up the signals from the new sensors eventually. I swapped (Ecoboost) stock wheels to a set of Mustang GT take-offs (the 18" black...

Does anyone know part numbers for the fasteners that need to be replaced, so we can pre-buy them to have on-hand before first oil change?

I watched OP's video and the valve only flaps closed then immediately back open momentarily, like a fraction of a second. Probably does not make a significant difference in actual sound output, and I suspect might be some form of valve self-testing on startup (just like on some cars how ABS...

^Would be cool if the HPP returns as an eBoost version

Yes, splitters are small thin pieces of plastic and going for $300-600. They should be like $80-150, if you see eBay/Amazon prices for splitters for other/older models/cars they tend to be around that range. The actual material cost of a long strip of ABS plastic is probably even much less.

According to Ford, the diff fluid doesn't need to be changed until 150K miles (at least on Ecoboosts). Just doesn't sound reasonable, but that's what they say. What gives? Any experts want to chime in?

(Former V8 owner, driven all the new American V8s ~30K miles each) the Ecoboost is a great "sporty daily". Stylish, decent MPGs, fast enough for normal traffic. To car enthusiasts, it's definitely a "secretary's car" rather than a true "performance car". The lack of transmission control/paddle...

Possible to drive but definitely a safety issue and may not be legal since you technically can't see your speed. I was more missing the gas gauge and TPMS, but eventually mine self-resolved after I let it sit all day. Hopefully a one-time glitch that will get patched in a future software update.

Ecoboosts can fit the compact spare tire under the trunk, but not a full-size wheel/tire.

I'm ready to get flamed since this is a Ford Mustang forum after all, but I agree with you, the quality of these Mustangs is not there, and there have been various issues. For not even a total refresh but more of an S550 facelift, Ford ought to do better. Especially with these price increases...
