Long story short, I took out the spare tire to do some work on the car and noticed the paint completely gone and exposed metal covered in rust at three different spots in the spare tire area. No idea what caused this as there is no standing water (pointing to a leak). Can this be repaired as a...

Hello, My 2018 GT has 57,000 miles on it. I have been using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 since the first oil change (about 3000 miles). I changed oil last time with PUP 5W-30 and filled it up where the oil level was touching the top hole on the dip stick. I wanted to see how much oil my car...

I took the Mustang on multiple road trips since I got it in Jan of 2018. The last trip I made was from Northern VA to Nashville, TN over this new year. I drove the same highway I-81 to I-40, same weather conditions and weight of luggage in car was same as las year (Northern VA to New Orleans...

UPDATE 8-7-2023 A few posts down, I have a screen shot of parts ordered from RockAuto. NOTE: These parts DO NOT fit the 2018-2023 Mustang GT with 4 pistons on the front and 1 piston on the back. These are parts of the Eco Boost model using the base brakes. UPDATE 8/26/2023 Correct parts for...

I tried many times to update my 2018 GT Premium 8inch with NAV using a SanDisk 64GB Extreme Go USB but no luck. I input my VIN number on Ford's website and it tells me that the latest version I can get is 3.0.20204 (Currently running 3.0.19205). I extracted the file into my USB drive (formatted...

Hey everyone, I was doing some general maintenance on my 2018 GT when I noticed the passenger side valve cover sensors (dont know what they are for, please educate) have oil accumulation around them. Looked on the driver side but did not see anything like this. Should I be concerned? I am...

Hey so its time to change the first set of tires since the car was purchased new in Jan of 2018. The factory tires are: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All Seasons This set of tires has been good to me. Not a lot of road noise, decent grip in dry, wet and light snow. However, after 38,000 miles...

I have a rattle/buzzing sound coming from the bezel/trim around the digital cluster and it drives me insane as the colder weather is really making it buzz. I just don't know how to take it off and am afraid to break it if I pull on it wrong. Any suggestions on how to take of the trim without...

Hello! Last night I took my GT for some back road fun. It has been a couple of months since I had the chance to do so and to my surprise I noticed that the car was not making the power it use to. The car has about 27,500 miles and is equipped with the A10 trans. In Drag Mode, it use to chirp...

My car is a few miles shy of 25000 and as you can see from the pictures, the car is consuming oil. I switched from PUP 5W20 to PUP 5W30 at 23,300 miles and once I filled up the car with 10qts the oil level was at the middle of the hashed area. After approximately 1600 miles the oil shows at the...

20,798 miles on the 2018 GT as of today. I did the last oil change at 17,092 with Pennzoil UP 5W-20 and I filled up with 10.5 quarts to be at the top of the hash marks on the oil dip stick. Checked the oil this morning and it was about half way down from the top of the hash marks. Is this amount...

Hey everyone, The car has 20,xxx miles on it and its exactly a year old. This morning when I started this car after being parked since Friday, I got a CEL (it was around 12F outside). I drove it to work and it drove perfectly fine. No rough idle or hesitation of any kind. On the way back from...

Hey folks, So my Mustang GT has an idle oil pressure of 15PSI (operating temp oil). Is this normal? Shouldnt it be 20PSI? I am using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-20 with a Royal Purple Oil Filter 20-500. Not freaking out lol just want to make sure nothing is wrong. Thanks!

Hello, So I purchased a bottle of Redline SI-1 fuel system cleaner and when I tried to pour it into the gas tank using a funnel (tried 2 different ones), the additive just spilled all over. The little cover on the mouth of the tank flips back but another 3 inches in there is another flap that...

Interesting topic that is about a year old but relevant and an interesting read. https://jalopnik.com/why-expensive-oil-is-a-waste-of-money-1797241527 Keep in mind, this is for a 4K oil change and a longer oil change interval would reveal how higher cost oils outperform your cheaper oils...

Hey everyone, The circled rubber stopper is missing from my GT. I noticed it yesterday while working around the engine bay. Is this something I need to worry about or should I let it be. If its something I need to install, where do I get one and whats it called? Thanks!

I purchased the car on 1/19/18 and didn't notice this until today while I was cleaning the car. There are two bubbles in the paint. (See attachment) This is the bottom edge of the passenger side door. Is this rust? Should I have Ford dealerships fix this or am I better of having a reputable...

I started the car this morning using the key. I go to the car a few minutes later and push the start key. I have the LCD dash and it started up just fine. However, the radio/nav screen was blank. I could not change the air/heating, no audio, no backup camera. I turned the car off and on twice...

Is it normal for a new car to have balancing issues after 1200 miles of driving? I have the 20 inch rims with Goodyear Asymmetric A/S tires. When I took delivery a couple of weeks ago, I drove it home from the dealer on a 150 mile trip and it was smooth. This only started happening a few days...
