  7. Question re Sport vs Sport + mode

    After 2 years you'd think I would have figured this out by now; I like flipping the toggle switch into "Sport +" and driving around.

    I read in the manual Ford recommends changing out the oil before racing ( to a 5-30 I think). Question; by racing do they mean 1/4 drag? Or around a twisty track? Can you re-use the original oil, if I have 3000 miles on speedometer?
