Tomster is dead nuts right. I have a 2019 GT350 with the Cup 2's. They have different rubber chemistry than do the Cup 2's on the R version. I also noted that the non-R Cup 2's are quite good in wet weather as compared with the R optioned Cup 2's. My Cup 2's do tramline on uneven road surfaces...
My point was why do it yourself, risking a spill, when your issue is with the dealership's possible mistake? Most of us could drain off a given amount of oil, probably without too much of a spillage, but why not let the dealer do it, "IF" you trust them?
Yes, removing a small amount of oil, yourself, is courting a mess! Let the dealership do it. Your dealer may have overfilled it, but maybe not. However, the only "accurate" way to check your "full" oil level on the dip stick is this: Drain the old oil, installing a new filter, put in 10 quarts...
As you said, fender/ hood alignment on 2015 through the current MY have alignment problems. Take it to your dealer and see if they have someone competent enough to correct it without making it worse.
The answer is quite speculative and subjective as there are so many factors that come into play with each individual's driving habits. Sounds like you are not beating the car up so I'd guess around 30K miles before you need new replacement tires.
I have the Cup 2's on my 2019 GT350. They do tramline on bumpy roads. They also have a wear factor of 180 and therefore their life expectancy is limited. The Cup 2's on the regular GT350 have far better traction in the rain than do the Cup 2's that Ford puts on the GT350R. (different rubber...
Agreed. I ordered my 2019 in early February 2019. It was built in March w/o a steering wheel because the Mexican vendor that produced the steering wheels went on strike. that set back all production of GT350s for months. Then it was held, again, due to a faulty part in the shifter mechanism...
I think the build quality from 2015 MY to the present to the 2020 GT350 is probably about the same. One thing I have noticed between the 2013 MY and my current 19 GT350 is metal thickness of the body panels. I sometimes used to lean on the side of my 2013 when filling it with gas. Seemed pretty...
QC, for the Ford Mustangs "has" deteriorated a bit over the recent years. I've been buying them, new, since 1984. Since that time, I've purchased eight Mustang's (four of them Shelbys), two SHO's, and one SVT Contour and all were pretty decent vehicles as far as fit/finish and paint were...
That could be; however, I don't think this explains the number of oil consumption problems that have occurred from the 2016 through 2018 (?) MY GT350 engines.
I researched buying a set of aftermarket wheels for my 19 GT350 so that I could have the original wheels and Cup 2 tires for summer use, and another set of wheels and all season tires for cold weather use. There's some fitment issues, lug nut compatibility, and structural strength issues to...
I think you may be wrong about the oil consumption issue possibly stemming from Ford's plasma wire arch process for lining the cylinder walls of it's performance engines. This process was started with the 2011 GT500 vehicles and has been used on thousands of Shelby GT500's since that time. There...
I think you're overthinking the situation. It happens to us all when we've been caught up in the anticipation process. Your car will be just fine and you'll be enjoying it sooner than later! Congratulations, you're gonna love it!
