2020 GT500 First Oil & Filter Change + Oil Change Instructions

[Jmeo]

Thanks, Jaime. Early on, George K. suggested I get rails so I did. No big deal and who knows, it might help on the road sometime.

Speaking of which..

As I did with my first GT-500, I plan to buy a decent 20" wheel and tire as a spare. Thankfully, the well in the chassis is there even though we didn't pay enough to get a real spare tire. <shaking head>

I did this because on the SECOND day of ownership, I picked up a nail in what I thought was a clean parking lot and I came out to a flat tire. Those of you who have trailers and winches would have been fine but not me. After unsuccessfully searching for a wrecker outfit that could handle the low ground clearance of the car, I went to Autozone and got a patch kit. Then drove back home to get a pump and eventually, I got another tire from the dealership and had it mounted. No problems since but I learned so I also want a real spare in Sarah and I am going to get another of the DC pumps I got the first time around. Man, what a difference and screw that aerosol flat fixer BS.

I am sure you can pick up a base wheel for this purpose. You will want to get a front wheel, or a rear wheel and a spacer. The rear wheel will not fit over the front brakes without a spacer.

I think Ill be changing my oil to Amsoil. I used it on my 2014 GT500 and loved it.

I also like Amsoil, but in all the research I have done over the years, there is no real advantage to switching. This is another debated to death topic, but in the end use what you like, you should have zero issues.

Again, thanks, Jaime. I don't know if I can find wheels to clear the front calipers but that was the plan. But they don't need to be 11" wheels, right? Just enough wheel and tire to limp home is the goal.

There in lies the problem if you don't want a factory wheel.. It will need to be discovered what is the smallest wheel that will fit the front. Its gonna take trial and error, for the most part.

I hope the 2020 has a larger wheel well than the 2013, you basically had to find a tire that would fit in the well and then find a wheel that would clear the caliper and rotor.

That's what I did for my '14, Earl and plan to do the same for the new car.

Sweet, I’ll follow your lead on this one

The supplement mentions 11.5 quart capacity. Is there another capacity specification I missed? I know 1/2 quart isn't much just curious where you got 12 quarts???
