50,000 miles

I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum too. Great oil.

At the risk of being flamed out, I'm going to bring up one point I was trying to make on another thread which I took an immense amount of flack for. PCM software. Y'all here are proving my point in that many of the 2015 mustangs are already well past 36k. There's probably a decent bit of early 2016 builds already in the 20k range which makes the "warranty" on the Ford Racing software to look mighty hollow. A point I could not seem to get by on my TST Optimization thread when I mentioned alternatives that while are not necessarily warranty safe, were highly qualified (LMS, Mountune also which was recently brought to my attention by Juben), but I digress, we are all free to think what we may, valid or not.

Now I just passed 4k miles, yup, mine's a young one. Although the last car I owned I had 172k when I sold it and it was still running strong (2007 Focus ST with duratec 2.3L NA). I'm also running Brisk Plugs, but the RR14YS, I'm not sure if I will switch as the LMS pcm software does not increase boost outside of factory limits, so I'm not sure if there would be any benefit to the RR14S plugs in my application as it's a bit different. I am running a Levels Gen 3 FMIC which is a work of art (especially for $550 shiped), the LMS 160F thermostat, 93 octane, UPR dual valve catch can (since about 3k, drained after the first 800 miles since install and only found about a table spoon of oil, but multiply that by 5 to 10 per oil change dep on oil and that's quite a bit of oil in the intake over the life of the car) and a Boomba BOV (with an Outerwear shroud for to keep things clean during continuous venting). LMS software is tuned for 91 octan, which is another safeguard (for only an extra 10hp, I see no reason not to have an extra safety factor by tuning to 91 but running 93, also if I travel I can pretty much find 91 everywhere nationwide). We'll see how it holds up, but all that on an E code engine should be quite robust. I will switch over to AMSOIL Signature 5W-30 once the factory fill of motorcraft is due (at about 63% according to the oil life indicator).

BTW, what was your emissions problem navair133?

Well I am not as mechanically knowledgeable as most on the site so I can't give you the technical explanation but I had an intermittent crazy loud foghorn sounding noise coming from the gas tank area. When it happened the car would die and have to reflash to get rid of sound and get car running. Got P1450 trouble code. Also car would run very rough right after getting gas. Started happening every couple of days. Turned out to be a $20 dollar part in the intake valve that was staying closed and not opening. Service dept. first thought it was in the gas tank area, changed a purge valve and a fill pipe assembly before figuring out where the problem actually was. Took three visits to finally fix.

My Service manager is great but he was a little frustrated when they could not initially find the problem and he did not want to call Ford engineers to look at it because of my mods. :headbonk:
Repaired under my 100,000 mile warranty though.
