I changed mine at about 60K miles and they still looked good. I think it's a good idea to change them after 5 years, no matter what the mileage, just to ensure that they are not getting seized into the head, although this may not be a valid concern anymore. Make sure you read the information...

I have a 2018 and when I first start it I believe it goes over 40PSI but I have not paid much attention lately, I just remember thinking that it really goes high on cold starts. I have almost 70K miles on mine and have not had any oil consumption problems out of the ordinary. If I had to guess...

The damn car manufactures save $5 by not putting a dipstick tube under the hood where we can check it and fill it from. I don't know what year that started but it was the beginning of the end of making it easy for customers.

Exactly, just turn it around and pump out of the new trans fluid into the trans. I would pump a little clean fluid through it first to wash it out.

I purchased the ARMINE MADE OIL PUMP. It was $23, looks and feels cheap but it worked. You will have to extend the power leads as they will not reach the car battery. I ordered 7 quarts from the dealer at about $9 per quart, I suggest using OEM ford Mercon ULV. I did not use it all and I...

If the GT had a Tremec transmission if would be just about perfect. Ford, give me the option to order a Tremec in the GT and I will go out and buy a new one tomorrow. I don't need everything that comes with a Dark Horse just to get a Tremec. Until you give me that option I'm not buying...

In my humble opinion the best time to do the first change is pretty early on to get any metal out of the trans as the filter will not get small particles. The filter should be done at the same time. I did mine at 40K if I remember correctly and again around 60K. The price of rebuilding one of...

At 40K miles I dropped the pan and replaced the filter and fluid, pain in the ass. At 65K I drained the fluid by sucking it out with a pump I bought off of Amazon and then reversed the operation and pumped in the same amount that came out. If they are doing a good job for $166 that is a...

I have a 2018 GT PP1 also (10 speed auto) and it seems like my start button is a little touchy. It always starts but sometimes it takes a second before it starts to crank and seems to crank slow at first then kick in. I have checked all my grounds and positive cables and nothing appears to be...

I have a 2018 GT and have used the same drain plug but purchased some O-rings to replace the one on the factory plug. I have been using them since 2020 and have never had any problem with leaks from the plug. I purchased them from globalindustrial.com Inventory stock # B2272251 OR USE THIS...

I'm more worried about the heat in the summer that is why I run the 5w-30 in very hot weather and think 5w-20 would be fine in a cold climate in the winter. 0W may have its place in some states, I lived in MN and it may be good there in the winter, but the guy posting the question lives in PA...

I live in NC and run 5W-30 all year. If you are in a colder climate you may want to run the 5W-20 in winter but in summer the 5W-30 should be fine I have around 70K miles on my car now and have never had a problem.

Find yourself an independent garage you can trust and give them your business. A wait that long for an oil change is crazy. I change the oil in my wife's new car myself even though the dealer provides free oil changes, it's just not worth the hassle to go through what you described plus you...

With the horsepower you are looking at you will tear that 10R80 apart. The MT82 may not handle it either but it will be easier, and cheaper, to put a strong 6-speed replacement in rather than an automatic built to handle that much horsepower.

Drop you trans pan, put in a new filter, and refill with OEM Ford fluid. Putting in a new filter is a pain and filling the trans to the correct level is really a pain. Getting to that little dipstick on the side of the transmission with the car running and it being next to the hot exhaust is...

Thanks for the link, I checked and there is no recall on my car. Ford will only do a recall if the government forces them unless it is really bad. Since the bad parts in the 10R80 do not pose a safety threat the government won't force them to recall the bad transmission, and Ford is not going...

I have a 2018 GT PP1 10-speed with 68K miles on it and have never had one problem. I have changed the plugs once, drained and filled the transmission twice, with a new filter the first time and change the oil between 5K and 7k miles. I am a little worried, however, as the early 10 speed...

Having to use a high quality gear oil to "clean up a lot of the problems" is exactly why I hate that transmission. Ford went cheap on that transmission and had it produced in China, it has been the subject of lawsuits due to manufacturing defects. I purchased two new Mustangs with the MT82 and...

Don't buy it and put the miles on your GT. Why drive an Eco boost when you have a GT? The additional money you are going to spend on it, possibly a lot to fix it, then insurance, registration, etc. is not worth it. I never regret putting miles on my GT as I enjoy driving it, no one is going...

I would not get a Mustang with the MT82 transmission so that removes the GT from the equation for me.
