  1. 5W20 vs 5W30 in the Midwest for a car that frequently takes long trips

    As I understand it the first number (ie:5) is the weight of the oil, then the add polymers that thicken the oil as it heats up. So if it was a 5W30 oil the oil would thicken up to where it flows like a 30 weight oil, but it's still 5 weight oil. We may be saying the same thing differently but I...
  2. ForScan

    I just reread your first post. I'm not the guy to know but it sounds a lot like what I've read here when someone unplugs the dyno plug. That's the "wire going nowhere" just beside the factory airbox. Maybe look into what other people have said about that.
  3. ForScan

    I'm with you on that. I think it might be a generational thing but I would rather follow the procedures in the manual (step on brake, flash headlight, honk horn twice type stuff) then anything to do with a laptop. I'm just not putting any faith in "somebody somewhere" posting online how to...
  4. Does anyone know what this is

    It might be this kit. https://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Fit-Vehicle-Wiring/Ford/Mustang/2016/118487.html?VehicleID=20161172287
  5. Does anyone know what this is

    The gizmo in your first picture, is there a wire going directly to your battery? If there is then I know what that thing is. The computer in todays cars are so sensitive they will throw a code if they detect an overload on the light circuit, like what happens when you plug in a trailer. So what...
  6. Rough idle, need advice

    Don't. Good on you for noticing something is different in how your car is running and looking for something wrong. Lots of people would just keep driving it and then say they had no idea what happened if something did go wrong.
  7. Rough idle, need advice

    You said you pulled the dipstick, but didn't say whether you wiped it clean and then checked the level. If you just pulled it out it's going to look way over filled. I think what happened with the rough idle is some fuel got into the internal vent tube when you fueled up. My Edge does this...
  8. Driver speakers side sounds much louder than the passenger side speakers

    Have you confirmed the settings are for all seats, and not set at driver only? That can be found in the audio settings.
  9. Metal piece in engine

    My guess it's the foil seal for a quart of oil. Maybe someone who did a past oil change never got that seal completely off and some of it went down into the engine?
  10. 2016 GT Premium with 9 speaker system - it just keeps on giving

    I don't get all the hate for the center speaker. When I replaced my door speakers I replaced the center speaker at the same time. To adjust the settings I set the fade all the way to the back and moved it forward until I could just start hearing the center speaker and that seems to work. Edit...
  11. Help with battery replacement procedure

    The manual says you should reset the window bounce back while you let it idle for one minute first time you start it with a new battery. All you do is hold the down button down for 3 or 4 seconds after the window reaches the bottom and then raise the window and hold the up button for 3 or 4...

    Bobby Allison is the reason for restrictor plates. They were put in after this crash
  13. Nascar Talk

    I've been watching since the days Wide World of Sports was the only TV coverage we got. Awesome Bill was my guy, don't have a favorite any more. But I do route against anyone driving for Hendrick. That whole felony charge pardon sits wrong with me. I've only been to one race which was the July...
  14. 2016 GT Premium with 9 speaker system - it just keeps on giving

    Ford should be ashamed of the quality of those speakers. Weird thing is from the back they look just like the speakers I have but from the front they look like a completely different cone material. I searched that part number from a Canadian online Ford dealer and it doesn't come up at all. I...
  15. 2016 GT Premium with 9 speaker system - it just keeps on giving

    Not in my car. It may vary by year but my front lower door speakers have a roughly 3" magnet on the back were the rear deck speakers were maybe 1". Big difference in the quality between the two.
  16. 2016 GT Premium with 9 speaker system - it just keeps on giving

    Not that it matters now but those are not the factory lower door speakers that came in my 2019 GT Premium with the 9 speaker system. Those junkers are what came on the rear deck panel. The factory lower door speakers are strictly a woofer so I don't know if putting a 2 way speaker in there will...
  17. What’s something you wish you Knew when you got your first Mustang??

    Not much to add from what others have posted, but enjoy what may be your last best chance to drive a gas powered rear wheel drive pony car. Anything else is just an appliance.
  18. Garage door dripping on the Stang

    Take a sheet of heavy plastic and attach it to the door inside the garage. Do it in such a way the plastic doesn't rip when you open the door. That should catch any drops and when you close the door it should drain out the bottom between the door and plastic. But if the door's wet from rain...
  19. What is this intermittent sound?

    I'm not the guy who could answer that. All I know is I had an F150 that needed to have the a/c recharged every 3 or 4 years and the tell tale sign was when the compressor was kicking on and off like that. If it's low you shouldn't be getting much cold air coming out of the vents inside the car.
  20. What is this intermittent sound?

    If it is the a/c compressor and it's cycling on and off every 10 seconds there's a good chance the the refrigerant is low. You may want to have that looked into.
