Scary predictions usually don't come true (thankfully) but just in case, anyone planning an oil change in the near future might want to buy their motor oil now, or have the oil change done now, before these projected shortages come into play...

What exactly do you mean by "Service oil light"? The popup screen that says "Change Engine Oil Soon" or "Oil Change Required" ? Maybe the "OK" button on your steering wheel is worn out? And do you mean you can't get the warning to go away at all, or do you mean it goes away when you press OK...

22,300 miles. 2018 GT bought new in June 2018. Wow, I thought mine was low-miles!

Thanks for the info and feedback. I've had partial brake failures on other cars while driving, and it's a bad feeling...

When I go to start the car and depress the brake pedal (it's an automatic), it's rock hard. Google tells me this probably means I have a leaking vacuum brake booster or some such thing. This is something that used to happen if the car sat for a week or two, now it's doing it even if the car just...

I'm not that surprised...the base C8 Corvette and BMW M2 come with cast wheels and they cost even more than a DH. It bothered me more that for years Ford put skinny 8" wide wheels with 235 mm all season tires on the Mustang GT as standard equipment. Not nearly good enough for safely harnessing...

My perception of cost is warped because I'm old and when I got my driver's license (in like '87) I remember the price of all the cars I lusted after at that time. An '87 Mustang GT had a base MSRP of $12k, and a "loaded" one (which back then meant AC, power locks & windows, and a cassette...

When I bought mine in June 2018, I noticed that the transmission seemed randomly harsh and unpredictable in Sport or Track mode. Sometimes it shifts well, other times it bucks and bangs through gears. I figured, well, it's the first model year, they'll have a firmware update out soon to iron out...

I bought my '18 GT without the performance pack. It came with the base-level 18" wheels and 235/50 all season tires. Mine is an A10. Even though mine didn't have the performance pack it did have the optional 3.55 gear ratio--which is kind of a stupid combination with those tires. It's "fine"...

The manual on my 2018 shows to change coolant after six years or 100,000 miles. It's footnote #2 in the picture posted above by ORRadtech. FWIW, the '18 came with the Orange coolant. Other years may have different maintenance needs.

I don't have that setup but I did have 255/45 R18 Indy 500s installed on my stock 18x8 (not 8.5") wheels. 255 is kind of pushing the tire width on an 8" wheel (as would 265s on an 8.5" wheel). I do feel like I lost a little "crispness" in the steering response, which is exactly what people said...

Thanks for the suggestions. The application would be kind of generic, ideally something that can pump/siphon any automotive fluid--for example sucking coolant out of a radiator, windshield washer fluid out of a container, gasoline out of a tank, light grade motor oil, etc. ]

On my '18 GT (not a performance pack) the digital gauges have a display for Cylinder Head Temperature (actually gives a number, usually around 200 F) and a display for Oil Temperature, which just shows a "virtual gauge" without numbers (just green and red zones). And the dash has a physical...

Over the years I've tried a couple of cheap pump or siphon products from Amazon, but they're all flimsy garbage that fall apart, leak, and/or won't hold a seal. Can anyone point me to something that actually works, but isn't expensive? Willing to spend up to $50. This is for small quantities of...

Tires are not feathered, and the issue has been this way on two different sets of tires. It doesn't seem engine speed dependent, for example I can upshift or downshift a gear and it doesn't change. Maybe the steering column in this car just really transmits a lot of vibration right into your...

Thanks for all the feedback. I think the post by leonardd really nailed what I'm feeling. It's basically a buzzing sensation that doesn't seem very speed-dependent. I thought it might be just the tread pattern on the tires causing resonance but it's the same even on a different make/model of...

I've seen previous threads about vibration, but can't seem to find them now. Ever since my car was brand new, it's had a minor but noticeable vibration once it gets up to speed (over say 45-50 mph). The vibration is mostly felt in the steering wheel and steering column, but can also be felt if I...

I can't help but wish you the best of luck. But as I read the title of this thread, I was reminded of a book on basic automotive repair I read many, many years ago, that had one passage that stood out to me: "With some research, appropriate tools, and an ample supply of patience, even an...

Tried to get a quote but at the end, nothing happens when I click on "get my quote." Maybe it was because I entered a bogus phone number. But they have no reason to get my real phone number for an online quote, fuck that. Tired of everything you try to sign up for, get a quote for, etc. wants...

I wish there was... when I get the seat in the right position for my legs and feet, the steering wheel is still a little too far away even when it's all the way out. I guess I have long legs and/or short arms, relative to their test dummies.
