  1. First oil change...what a pain in the ass šŸ˜†

    I replace the push pins that come out broken. I’ve bought several 4-packs of them. Here’s the part number.
  2. First oil change--checked the oil next day and it was barely above the min mark

    Not to scare you but these new Mustang GT’s are a little more complicated to change the oil. There’s a somewhat large belly pan that has more than a dozen little screws and 2 different types of push pins that makes the filter not readily accessible. One of the two types of push pins never comes...
  3. Ford Motorsport AOS - Confused… Self Draining or Not?

    FP catch can for the s650 is not self draining. The one for the GT500 is "No emptying required as the separator features an oil drain back into the RH coil cover of the engine ." https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6766-A52
  4. Catch Can Emptying

    You’re supposed to check much earlier than 5k. Should be every 1k for a little bit. You don’t want it filling up, sloshing around, causing an obstruction, and /or pouring oil into your intake. That’s the downside to having an air/oil separator. Lack of maintenance can be detrimental, you’re...
  5. Does 5.0 coyote performance improve with octane?

    I'll pass your opinion on to my wife as she needs more people on her side (even though she uses 91 in her 14 MPG 5.7 Hemi, which requires 89 or higher but Costco here is 87 or 91 only). Out here in AZ where temps are well over 100 degrees for a long while, every bit of octane matters. I have...
  6. Does 5.0 coyote performance improve with octane?

    I end up making it from 100 (Sunoco 260?) at the pump and 91 (Costco Top Tier). I'm hoping it really becomes 93 for the extra $1.35 or so a gallon (or about $22 per tankful).

  8. Make order says still in production

    There may be some more dates that are not on the tracker. Depending upon which browser you use, if you right mouse on the web page, select "inspect", look for "network", and try to find your order number & vin number object. There will be a bunch of dates, like receipt date, production date...
  9. The Dash cam thread

    I am looking into the Viofo A329TC 3 channel, which has the Telephoto front and the interior Fisheye. My thought here is that in the Mustang the interior fisheye may pick up enough out of the rear window especially given that my rear window is tinted. Would also save a bunch of wiring.
  10. Cleaning Catch Can Filters?

    Thank you, that is the exact information I am seeking. Seems like that could be problematic, especially constant removal/reinstall of the hoses. I’d guess they’re not designed to be disturbed that much.
  11. Cleaning Catch Can Filters?

    Would you happen to also have strut tower brace? If so, how hard is getting access to the catch can for cleaning? I'm really debating UPR vs. J&L over this since I have a strut tower brace.

  14. Gearbox noise

    Opposite here, mine makes more noise when holding the stick.
  15. Automatic or 6-speed - honest feedback

    I bought a ā€œJob 1ā€ Mustang GT with a 6 speed manual. Because it didn’t have start/stop, had to pay $1000 gas guzzler tax. It gets worse gas mileage and is slower than the A10 auto. But I wanted a stick shift. With the helper aids turned on (hill assist and rev match) it’s the easiest stick I’ve...
  16. Dagger plus heart

    I paid $1000 gas guzzler tax (no start stop/6 speed manual). Wondering if I'll get that refunded.
  17. Ford Protect Plans

    I originally did not have that included so I called Ford and they said the initiating dealer can add it. I contacted my dealer and they were able to add the Interior/Exterior Lighting package for $70. In other words it's no longer "Excluded". Dealer was happy to accommodate as they learned that...
  18. S650 Mustang V8 to Get Ford Performance Calibrations (Tune)

    Makes me wonder if/when Ford releases a ProCal based FP Tune how much they'll claim on what I am expecting to be a 91+ tune. Furthermore, if their tune can be a new base as a "stock tune" to see what improvements were made or can be made from there from the custom tuners. In the meantime I'll be...
  19. Best oil and oil filter for Mustang GT Premium 2024

    I remember the black sludge. There’s a theory that after an oil change, the coyote BBQ Igniter/typewriter tick reappears since there’s no longer any suspended carbon from the combustion process. And the reason that there’s no tick from the factory is because Ford puts in a friction modifier...
