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.

If it's not your driveshaft it probably is the transmission. This is a longshot but when you had the MT82 removed and the T56 installed they use different size pilot bearings with the Tremec T56 having a larger diameter input shaft. Could they have removed the old one and forgot to put a new...

I'm about to do my 3rd oil change with the Restore and Protect in my 5.0 with 68K miles on it. I never had any oil usage problems but thought it would be good to use as our piston rings do not have a lot of tension on them, like in the old days, and the R&P is supposed to clean the ring lands...

Lets look at the pricing; GT base- $46,560, GT Premium-$51,080 Dark Horse is $64,080. That's $13K more for the Dark Horse and I really don't think Ford puts in anywhere near that much more in equipment to make that car worth that much more. What I'm trying to point out is that most Mustang...

You can only recoup your losses to a point before you start losing sales. If you studies economics you may be familiar with the term elastic and inelastic demand. To explain it simply; when you raise the price you bring in more money but you loose customers. At some point on the curve of...

Using the logic that Ford doesn't make that much profit on the Dark Horse you would have to ask yourself why complicate the whole production line and logistics channel by producing it?

Here's the problem Ford presents us with. You have the GT or the Dark Horse and nothing in between. Most of us don't need all the options that the Dark Horse offers or the 20 additional HP that you get with it. I remember the days when you could order a Mustang with anything from a 6-cylinder...

Perhaps you can test drive and inspect before you take delivery or pay but from reading about Carvana I did not see how it can be done. Some problems I found with them are: While Carvana offers a 7-day "love it or return it" policy, some customers experience difficulties with the return...

I am extremely happy for anyone who bought a car sight unseen and is happy with it. I have a few rules, however, when buying a car. I will only buy a new car from a dealer, never a used one. I will only buy a car form an individual and he has to be the original owner. I will only buy a car...

I never purchased a car from them and personally I never would. Buying a car you can not inspect and test drive is beyond stupid to me. I'm sure they sell many good products but I'm not going to chance it.

I have been using R&P for about 10K miles now in my Coyote engine that has 78,000 miles. I never burned much oil so I can't say weather it helps or not but with today's piston rings having much less tension that older ones I'm going to continue using it. I would think that you would have to go...
