@glenng6 ..... good for you! As my grandfather used to say "You can only teach an old dog a new trick if it's smart enough to learn one." Of the many things I appreciate about this forum the one I appreciate the most is that I learn something every time I open it up! :cool:

@wilkinda65 ..... sorry to hear this. The guys are 99% likely right with valve seals. Bluish smoke is definitely oil. Likely as simple as a miss formed valve stem seal at a 12:1 compression ratio this would smoke. In simpler days pulling plugs would confirm but coil packs are more of a pain to...

@glenng6 ..... we all have our specific approaches to our vehicles. As someone who used to build high performance engines we never added anything that there was not a specific need for. Ford does not call for any additives for this very, very sophisticated engine. Most good brands of gasoline...

@glenng6 ..... I too have a 2024 Mustang GT premium convertible. What makes you think you need a gasoline additive? I can get 91 and 94 where I live. Mine runs perfectly on 91. Can you not get decent gas?

@20ducks ..... @cosmo73 is not only correct but to do the job correctly you will need muchos dinero. There are several DIY coatings you can apply after you degrease, sand and clean with acetone then alcohol. Those coatings will not be affected by heat but brake fluid will dissolve them. The only...

@Zcarmenb28 ..... actually the guy who pulled up beside me said the Camaro exhaust sounded like fire crackers in a can. IMO the Camaro exhaust sounded like the death rattle of marbles in a tin can. Silly post maybe, it's an opinion you are entitled to. My opinion is the latest years of Camaros...

@JAM486HP .... right on. My dealership knows that NO one is to be in my Mustang without either me or the service manager (my friend in it). I can't count the number of knuckleheads from dealerships I see shuttling cars and driving them like the state police were a block away.

@roket .....exactly, well said! The guy who was in the news was no where near the end of his oem warranty period. His point was when he purchased that extended warranty he knew the dealer was making a tidy profit and he thought that would also buy him some "good will" along with the extra...

My 2 cents about oil based on experience and conversations with my uncle a shell oil chemist (retd.) ALL oils contain some synthetic or they would never pass epa mileage tests. ALL major brands use decent base stocks. The differences appear when the VI (viscosity improver packages are packaged...

@LuckyGuy ..... congratulations. Long time Mustang owner here. Use Ford oil of the viscosity your manual recommends. I ALWAYS use FULL synthetic. DO NOT let a synthetic blend anywhere near that beautiful engine!!!!!!! You can purchase FULL synthetic Motorcraft from any Ford dealer. I buy it from...

Here's one for us all. Form Canada on last night's news. If I have this all correct - a young university student with some cash bought one of the new Hyundai "rockets" he selected the track package and purchased 7 year 140K extended warranty. He has taken better than OEM recommendations for...

@8915GT. ..... no. What I was told by a Ford tech was drilling out the front grille "could" void the engine warranty if doing so changed the induction stream by allowing rainwater during driving to soak the filter elements allowing water, water vapor or water mist into the engine combustion...

@roket.....appreciate your comments and respect your opinion. Your comment is the key "drilling out the grille will not on its own void a powertrain warranty". I absolutely agree. I may not have expressed myself well. My point was the effect that altering the grill has was altering the engine's...

@DemonWorks ..... there is a video on youtube that is a number of months old. I think the guy calls himself "junk yard garage" in the video as does exactly as you say and I think he likes the sound better but finds no actual quantifiable difference in acceleration but that is NOT my point. A...

@Jarstang .... looks like the propane gas hook-ups that were popular years ago but could be a new application oh hydrogen hybrids. Toyota is apparently betting its future on them.

@Ciulster ..... Please google the Tony Unica video on Mustang Fender Fails. I drove my new 2024GT from the dealer home on 90% 400 series roads and there was sand and gravel all over under the new for 2024 Mustang fiber belly pan (under the engine) and below the new for 2024 fiber pans under the...

@Ciulster .....I guess this means you are going to drive it in the winter. At least, I believe, Alberta does not salt the roads as the temperatures are usually lower than the point where the salt works. Ontario does and Mustangs driven there are soon damaged. Nevertheless, I hope you have...

@Adamrx11 ..... no there is no comparison. Respectfully, it isn't even fair to compare. Although Ford has done an amazing job of stiffening the S650 convertible's frame - it now has two under frame stiffening bars that are now welded to a robust steel plate instead of just bolted to the trunk...

@Gregs24 ..... There is probably an off-Mustang thread on this forum for political discussions but in short the Dutch just voted-in the new series of coalitions as a result of the previous failed coalitions of socialists and nanny state doctrine devotees not dissimilar to the situation my...

@Skye .... yeah, it's called socialism. I lived in Europe for four years. The socialistic ideas are drummed into them their entire lives, particularly in their schools, while we in North America are taught to achieve and excel, not follow along like a bunch of sheep. My Dutch friend, a...
