What does the hive mind say about the long-term prospects for Coyote engines? I'm not talking outright lemons or failures on the track or from other hard use, but 'normal' driving with occasional mild hooning. I'd like to hear from owners with 100K or more miles on their cars, of any generation of Coyote but especially the Gen 3.
I traded-in my '08 Bullitt with the 4.6L for my '19 Bullitt at 124K miles. All I did for the 4.6 was change oil and filter at 6K miles, changed air and cabin filters when needed and put in new plugs at about 90K miles, and of course tires. After break-in it used about a quart of 5W-20 between changes of mostly highway miles. I may have changed brake fluid once but don't recall for sure, and I put Royal Purple SynchroMesh in the gearbox early on. It ran flawlessly right up until trade-in, and still had the original clutch and brake pads with plenty of meat on them.
The new Bullitt has been relegated to mostly long road trip usage as I have a couple other DDs and a couple old British sports cars to play with. It currently has about 20K miles and will likely only get a couple thousand miles a year. I get free oil changes from the dealer at 5mos/5K miles, but I only take it in when the oil gets a bit dark (I'm guessing it's also using 1qt/6K miles). I'm 69YO and expect (hope) to drive this car until 'the end.'
