what is "spin-tested"? just spin the crank without actually firing the engine?
but they did say on the dyno, if that is the case then does it mean the engine is already broken in?
some may say, no it doesn't, b/c order guide never mentioned it. that is fair. so this morning I took a good look at my car, it has tech pack
-driver side lower grill opening clearly has some sort of rad for cooling
-passenger side has none, all plastic
-open the hood, look at where the oil...
with the engine fully warmed up I drove about 30miles local (with traffic stops) and kept it under 3500rpm
the outside air temp was 14c/58f
engine oil climbed from 14c at start up to 81C/178F max, it wasn't even half way.

Who said rich guys have all the fun? From the moment the Mustang Boss 302 debuted four years ago, the reviewers sang the praises, the dealers added a huge markup and the resale values stayed steady in a manner...
the new AMSOIL 5w-50 is approved for
"the 5W-50 (AMR): API SN, SM...; Ford WSS-M2C931-C (Mustang)"
but the gt350 owner's guide calls for oil meets WSS-M2C931-B specs
so it C just the newest standard? and if the oil meets the C spec does it mean it will automatically meet the B spec?
