It's an interesting tool - had the minds behind it thought about it more, they could have added a "T" there to make it a 2-way tool to not only compress the gap, but to make it larger as well.

I have this old school one from back in the original 5.0 days, it's from Jacob Electronics:

Or if you're of those types that does things the MacGyver way (LMAO):

Nothing spectacular but replaced the molded lower hose on my oversized whipple head exchanger as the tight bend was starting to pinch closed due to the bracketry for the front splitter.

Changed my oil.
Dealership did the first change at 2900 before I bought it.
But this was the first time I've changed it myself.
Been dreading jacking it up and using jack stands for months, I hate those things and never feel safe under there. Being claustrophobic doesn't help......
But I accidentally ran across a YouTube video last night. Guy used Rhino ramps, which I have in stock, but didn't think would be high enough
And his was also a 2020 with no oil filter door in the plastic skid plate underneath, so I was prepared with a heads up on removing the five 7mm bolts and removing it completely.
All went well, just a little oil from the filter on those steering wires, but only on the insulation, wiped right off .
Plug came out easily , but I did drop it in the drain pan so had to go fishing for it after draining the oil.
I managed to get the ramps right close to where my parking area drops off, so I had a little extra room, which is good if you don't like tight spaces!
Anyway, all in all it went well.
Used Pennzoil Platinum that I got off eBay for $41 shipped for two jugs, 5w30. Turns out it shipped from Walmart, and they even threw in 2 rolls of paper shop towels!
And I got a K&N extended life filter from O'Riley's down the road.
After the oil change I took her to the carwash for a bath.
Clean oil, clean filter, and clean paint. She had a good day today.

You have to cut it, I spotted it on one of CJās videos, but they blamed it on ford performance drive shafts

They also pulled out a tool Iāve never seen before to cut it like everyone has one of those freakin things. In the next video he pulls out a submarine to resolve an issue.You have to cut it, I spotted it on one of CJās videos, but they blamed it on ford performance drive shafts

Today I did the best thing you can do with a Mustang. I drove it.
Went to a Cars & Coffee (near Newport RI). Driving my Mustang to Cars & Coffee always puts me in a car state of mind, since I'm going to gawk at hundreds of cars. It makes me that much more appreciative of the Mustang.
It's just a fun car, pure and simple. Rowing the gears, hearing the naturally-aspirated V8, it's the best of my nostalgic memories of the 1960's Mustangs I used to drive back in high school, combined with enough modern comfort, safety, and technology features to be a much more usable car than most classics.
At any Cars & Coffee there are so many fabulous cars, many much faster than the Mustang. But for what the car costs, it's a bargain. For the performance it offers, the fun it provides, the looks and the feel, there's nothing else like it for the price.
Enjoy your Mustang while you can. We're in the last golden days of real cars. The time of soulless, anodyne, autonomous electric transportation pods is coming. The S650 Mustang is the last real Mustang the world will see. Once cars like these are gone, they won't be back. Get out and drive now, and appreciate what we have.
