Well, considering my oil plug was ejected at 120 mph on track during a downshift, I am no longer a fan of Ronin plugs, or any other metal plug in a plastic pan for that matter. After chatting with others, it turns out I’m not the first to lose a metal oil plug on track in the Gt350. Likely has something to do with the vibration of the engine and difference resonance frequencies between the metal plug and plastic oil pan.
There are a few reviews sprinkled in amongst the many pages of the original thread, but unfortunately they aren’t located in one place. I’d always appreciate a review though if you do feel inclined
Totally agree 100%
Holy crap! That's quite a smokescreen you laid down! That's a great contribution to the community posting up that video. Shocking outcome to say the least.
No problem - happy to oblige. It will take another couple months or so, and I'm -still- waiting for an oil filter to arrive. Ironically, Amazon won't let me cancel my original filter order... even though they have repeatedly delayed the delivery date.There are a few reviews sprinkled in amongst the many pages of the original thread, but unfortunately they aren’t located in one place.

When you order Non-Prime most likely it's shipping from China and can take a month or two. Yes you can request cancelation. Go to Track Order and select contact seller and tell them to cancel your order. I had to do this a couple of times when what I wanted was not a prime product. 100% of my request to cancel DID Actually cancel. Good Luck. PS. I safety wire all drain plugs including my Ronin which so far I love. But: The metal pin coming loose, that's a concern.
Totally understand. Many forum members have had good luck going to their local ford dealer and ordering from there. I was originally told 2-4 months, and then got a call 3 hrs later saying they got it in stock.
Like many others, my first oil change on the 350 was very messy, saved only by the massive piece of cardboard I thought was overkill. Has anyone found a trustworthy alternative for a track-driven 350?
Honestly, I don’t have a magic bullet so to speak. For when I change oil on the ground, I bought the biggest rectangular oil drain pan available at autozone. Underneath that I’ll use a drip pan like this, which can also be purchased at most auto parts stores: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MCXOR...&pd_rd_r=a71c1c0e-28cc-4e3c-95b8-82e058170ed6
For sure! I employed the all at once method (by mistake) the first time I did it. Surprising speed, splashing overshot the drain pan a little. It was a mess.
