The actual answer to your question is that the car's electrical system shuts down the lighter plug about 45 minutes after the car is shut down. Presumably, that's to keep plugged-in equipment from draining the battery when the car's not in use.

I've had a 2016 since new. If there's oil in the bottom hole, there's enough. IF there's oil in the top hole, there's too much. It's not brain surgery.

Which engine are you talking about? Your info block in the left column doesn't say you have a GT350, even though you're on the GT350 part of the site. If you do have a GT350 with an FPC Voodoo engine, to this point, the only post that contains relevant information is the one by @WItoTX where...

Interesting. So the engine "falls flat on its face" from over-fueling as it tries to get the AFR back to normal?

It's not obvious to me how an exhaust leak can make the engine run lean. That sounds more like an intake leak - air getting into the intake manifold without being measured by the MAF - to me.

Yawn... I have carbon ceramic brakes and they don't have dust or rust problems...

Wow! Gen2 engine and Gen2 center caps. What'll they think of next???

I had a similar experience a couple of months ago where someone in control of a car messed up but got so scared they froze behind the wheel with their eyes huge and staring. I was walking one of our family dogs and crossing a major city street in the crosswalk with a positive pedestrian...

Well, them there Brembo's and Ferodo pads are great, but they're only the start of your stop. The MPSC2 tires and the ABS manipulating the Magride shocks delivered the longitudinal negative G's that kept you from colliding.

Well, in my 2016 GT350 Track Pack, you can set vehicle mode with the steering wheel button, and then adjust the dampers with the damper settings steering wheel button. Does a 2016 Tech package car work differently?

It's a quirk in the parts system on the website you're on. I went to Levittown and got the same result, but when I scrolled down the page, I saw this, Diagram 2, which is thee correct one:

The diagram shows an S550 rear floating-caliper brake assembly for a GT or an Ecoboost model. A GT350 uses different running gear than the rest of the S550 product line and there are no caps on either axle because the hub design doesn't allow it.

That's on a clean, dry wheel stud. If there's WD40 or anti-seize on the threads, you have to lower the torque or you can damage the stud.

The "oil consumption issue" started with the 2017's and ended after the 2018's. The 2016's were pretty good actually - mine has 50 track days and about 35,000 miles and it goes through a quart of oil every 1200 miles or so and has since new. My completely unconfirmed belief is that the 2017's...

I'm getting a chuckle out of this. Basically, if you want an S550 Mustang bodyshell set up by the Ford factory so you can take delivery, drive it to a race track and then run it for a full day of top-level A group sessions without hurting the tires, the brakes or anything else, all you need is...
