He didn't mention what oil he was using.
You can get Motorcraft oil and filters at Walmart, but I'd save the money and get a full synthetic for less while I'm there. Their branded oil isn't anything special
Here's the worst part about only selling 40,000 cars a year.
Less aftermarket. Look how much smaller the Camaro aftermarket is for example.
Combine that with no tuning options, that spells doom for current Mustang enthusiasts
Meanwhile, last year the prices of the F150 dropped as much as $2,235
Price increases only affect Mustangs apparently!

What's that have to do with mustangs? Bird flu affects engine prices?
Eggs are like gas one week it's up the next it's down. I was buying them for $2/18 pack a couple weeks ago and they'll be back down to that again soon
Older than the internet itself:
* Oil Change instructions for Men:*
1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a
scented tree, write a check for $50.00.
2) Stop by 7/11 and buy a case of beer, write a check for $20, drive...
Increase in over $10k since 2021 is nuts
$8k in two years is even more nuts.
In 2023 the Camaro LT1 (base V8 model) started at $36,695
The Mustang used to be a relatively inexpensive car.
They quit making the Camaro, Challenger, and Charger
BTW, the Challenger outsold the Mustang in 2022 and 2021, and the leftover 2023 models of the Challenger/Charger combined outsold the 2024 Mustang
I'd personally run a 17x10 +50 with a 305/45-17 or a 19x11 +50 with a 305/35-19
None of the 18" tire sizes do it for me except for 305/40-18
What profile do you want to run, is it important to you to have a front wheel that matches your rear wheels, etc
Some old quotes, not to turn this into an oil thread...
