I don't know which specific oil has been used because I don't change my own oil. I ask for 5w-30 synthetic. I keep a jug of Motorcraft oil around for the rare times I need to top off. I'll be more specific next time.

My 2019 Mustang GT convertible has nearly 90K. I have some time, so wanted to change the plugs. Was also thinking of going with a cooler plug than I was already running because for nearly the entire time I've owned the car, it has suffered from pre-ignition (trips to the dealer, including ride...

I have a question, and thought this group might have informed opinions. Trump has rolled back restrictions on emissions and fuel economy for cars. Is there a window for OEMs to build "dirty fast" versions for the US market? In the 70s, introduction of emission controls and attempts at fuel...

If you drive it in "normal" mode, you can pretty much accelerate all you want and not have to worry about getting sideways (assuming you're already going straight at the time.) I have a manual. For the most part, I'm cruising it, but once in a while I'll jump out and run it through the gears...

When you unlatch the roof and lower the roof, all windows should go down. However, when you raise the roof, the windows will stay down. You must latch the roof before raising the windows using the switches on the door. Sometimes my rear windows struggle to close all the way. If that...

That has happened to me. My car was under warranty so I took it in. They adjusted the windows and my windows have worked well since. Once in a while they struggle to close the last 1/4 inch. I latch the roof, then unlatch it, making it easier for the windows to close those final degrees...

There's not much work I could do on the road anyway, so my goal is to get off the road safely to somewhere who can fix whatever it is. Like you, I have a spare. I bought a true lug wrench because I felt as if I was rounding out the wrench part of the car jack, plus the new wrench has much more...

unless you intend to eat breakfast, read your newspaper, and/or finished getting dressed while driving during your commute, get the manual.

I think that's a feature, not a bug. When I have my phone connected to the car, when a call comes in, the radio goes silent to take the call then resumes when the call is over. Similarly, when I'm listening to an audiobook (Libby app), if a call comes in, or a navigation prompt interrupts, the...

One technique I've used in cars which are new to me is to use my foot (not my whole leg) to manipulate the clutch. When starting from a stop, my heel is on the floor and my toe is lifting up to engage the clutch. There's a bit of travel in the clutch movement, so maybe my heel slides back as...

I travel with a tourniquet, but it's in the arm rest in the hope I can will be able to reach it if I need it for myself.

Sorry for the slow response. Here are a couple of pics one "unloaded" showing the route of the small elastic band and a "loaded" pic showing how I use it.

I bought some black elastic cording and rigged up a single line running from front to back. That line holds my first aid kit and a jump starter battery in place. You could also get a box at the Container Store that fits in that space and use the cord to hold it in place.

I had good results with Goodyear Eagle Sports. I'm in Virginia, and we haven't had much snow in the last couple of years. I have the BFGoodrich on now (available through Costco), but haven't experience winter.

When using the squeegee and the dirty water to clean my glass at the gas station, if the grill is really bad, I'll hit that too. (mine isn't museum quality) That said, bugs aren't nearly the issue they used to be. When I was a kid, there'd be splatters which would cover a huge part of the...

I put a rubber "cork" in the hose near the air intake. Left all the plumbing in place. Simple.

I bought my 2019 GT convertible new. I have nearly 75K on it now. It's my daily driver. I've driven it across country twice and from VA to FL 4 or 5 times. I don't baby it, but I don't track it and I have yet to do my first burn out. Like you, I read some about some of the issues others...

I am NOT a financial advisor, but for sure you don't want to keep the current policy and it's new rates. I've heard about term life policies having a cash value, but it's probably pennies on the dollar a call or an email to a company offering those services will inform you of the details (as...

That looks pretty big. Even if you don't replace the windshield, you should repair the chip to keep it from spreading. If it's in your line-of-sight you should probably replace the windshield. If it's off in a corner or otherwise out of the way, I would still get it repaired/filled...

have you tried switching to "track mode?" It seems to do the trick in my manual GT convertible. (at least a little bit anyway).
