To the question about the amount of oil being filled, does the service ticket specify? Or just, "Oil change." The Gen3 and Gen4 V8 engines have required 10 quarts for several years.

A week would not be unusual. There are general purpose techs, which perform routine maintenance, and specialists, with advanced experience. It can take time to schedule someone. Further, if the root cause is not obvious, compression tests, bore scoping and opening cases with Ford can take time...

I'd have to study the paint, but the same condition can occur with some laundry detergents. The use of phosphorous and other elements can illuminate or reflect. Previously, the tub in my washer could actually glow. I suspect some component in the paint mix is doing same...

At the time the S550 was on the market, there were statements in the Owners Manual referencing a 1,000 mi / 1,600 km break-in period, with steps on what to do. In the S650, when I last looked into references to break-in mileage, while the printed version did not have a reference, there was one...

Some additional insight on the OLM. As mentioned above, if you change the oil and park the car, it will count down to 0% at the end of one year, or 1.9% a week. At the other extreme, if you hit the track or drive the car hard, you'll notice the OLM countdown quicker. The OLM looks at time...

I'm attaching two threads authored by @DFB5.0 :thumbsup::thumbsup:: one, a general checklist of prep, and two, the process, step-by-step, with photos. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/prep-before-ceramic-coating.182199/...

The Pre-Delivery Inspection checklist (attached) references only the DH for the shipping blocks. But if concerned, they're obvious. Photos and process to remove are in the checklist. The PP and DH cars are mentioned as both having underbody strakes, which are installed at the dealer...

'22 Mach 1 w/HP. Ford recommends not attempting to traverse areas that have a greater than 7-degree transition in grade. While you can, you'll most likely scrape (to varying degrees) the splitter or belly pan. While the lip of the front splitter measures higher, I have 4.5 inches / 11.4 cm of...

Thanks for the update. Three things I'd like them to accomplish: 1. The drivetrain is pretty dense, with a lot of hot spots. With the car cold, starting at the brake reservoir, run a hand over each bit, down to the area of the trans slave cylinder. Check fluid level in reservoir, any wet...

Autotrader has the following Mustangs on offer: New 650s: 5787 Used 650s: 987 New DH: 452 Used DH: 85 As to why people sell, it's varied. Life happens. Marriage, divorce, kids on the way, moving, loss of income, change of home type, etc. For whatever reason, the S650 has become impractical...

If interested in a warranty, Granger Ford will offer you the best price: $50 over cost. https://www.grangerfordextendedwarranty.com/ Excellent service. And they sell these warranties on-line to people in NC. Edit, Extended warranties do not have to be purchased immediately. They can be...

I'm not following the market and pricing, and cannot speak to that. But two things I would clarify: 1) you'll be purchasing the vehicle with no dealer add-ons and 2) what are the expected doc fees? As to TT&L, your state should have on-line calculators for that.

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/absolute-vs-shadow-black-paint-pearl-metallic-solid-help-456619/index3/ A general trolling of the topic revealed same question: metallic? pearl? solid? The thread above has some posts from a painter, explaining Ford's variations to these colors, to include very...

Not to discount any concerns, but the above behavior is normal, in certain situations. If the car is not driven often, the vehicle will enter Deep Sleep mode. Mine will enter this mode at the two week mark, wether the car is on a battery tender or not. If you're seeing the above alarm having...

It depends on the type of tire and temperature where stored. My garage is not heated, but insulated. On the coldest days, temperatures will approach 40 F / 4.5 C. The car is shod with all-seasons. When prepping for storage, I increase my tires to shipping pressures (40 psi / 2.75 bar) and chock...

An additional thought, if you've exhausted options and still see lint or small particles, check the home's dryer venting system and ensure it's clear. My dryer vent exists to a small bend, into a riser and straight out through the roof. While it accumulates small amounts of lint and junk...

I've not encountered lint when using any towel. Any new towels I receive, they go straight into the wash, hot water, no detergent. The washer spins fast enough, I hang them out to air dry. If I do use a dryer, low temps. When I do use a detergent, I use a dedicated, microfiber towel wash...

I've been looking at and reading what I can about Ford's OPF/GPF units. From the documents and pictures (general stock, non-Mustang photos) I've seen, there are four connections: - Upstream O2 sensor - Downstream O2 sensor - Exhaust gas temperature sensor (associated with the GPF) - Exhaust...

If we were all driving around with the same vehicle, the same options, that'd be pretty boring. Some change their car for style. Others performance. Some both. Aftermarket parts are often cheaper, of superior quality, with an increase in performance while offering something unique. Some changes...
