I have a 2017 Gt350 that I have owned for 4 weeks(1702 miles), I made sure to break my car in properly (didn't exceed 4k rpm for first 750 miles and had dealer replace factory oil after 1k miles) and never abused it ( never launched car or gone over 7K rpm). After finishing work yesterday I let my car warm up for approximately 1 min in 40F weather and proceeded to drive through my work parking lot (three blocks) and entered highway. I accelerated car to enter highway (hitting 6k-6500k rpm in 1st and 2nd) and was immediately confronted with low oil pressure warning and engine knocking. After limping off of highway into a safe location I looked under car, no oil. Had car towed to dealer and they have informed me that something internal has broken and that they are working with ford to get a new engine sent out for replacement. My car was built 9/23 and was not subject to recall. It would be nice to know exactly what failed internally but I was told that ford will most likely not have technicians open engine but will analyze it once it arrives at ford. Just wanted to share my experience.
