And on the flip side, there will are GT350 owners who report they tracked the car immediately and have zero oil consumption.I did baby my Boss when I first got it. It basically had no miles on it when I got it, no test drives allowed. I heard some of the guys who bought '12's had engines that were using oil. I drove it like a grandma the first 1000 miles or so, just for the heck of it. Figured I was keeping the car for a long time, so wanted to do everything I could to make it last. I have NO oil consumption and a car that has only need oil changes, tires and now, some new front brakes.
I doubt there will be many, if any, GT350 owners that have zero oil consumption. There are guys that check their oil and there is NONE.And on the flip side, there will are GT350 owners who report they tracked the car immediately and have zero oil consumption.
This debate will never end.
Agree with bluebeastsrt as I think Ford cold runs each engine prior to installation into the vehicle. I believe the fully assembled long block is rotated until the rings are seated. If I remember correctly, other measurements are also checked to include oil pressure and crank rotational resistance which also is an indication of proper assembly to include bearing clearances etc.Thats how I run all of my new cars! The rings should already be seated from the factory. A couple of heat cycles and then drive like the performance car it is.
Huh? Something seems amiss with this train of thought....and as far as the noises go,they just mean you haven't ran it hard enough..the more noises, the harder you push
Currently at 2200 miles. I have a had the same issue at start up. I have noted (1) never on a cold start. (2) rough for less than ten seconds. I am curious as to the cause. As far as break-in. I have broken all my new vehicles in the same manner: drive her like you stole her.Jut got a 2018 mustang GT 10 speed. kind of did line lock at the dealership as well as hit 147 mph at the straight away on my private property. I currently have 112 miles. Did i possibily mess anything up? Also since the day I picked up car, sometimes it'll start up kind of rough. Most of the time its fine. any input?
Rental cars also get driven like this. Yet, demand for used rental cars is low. :shrug:... As far as break-in. I have broken all my new vehicles in the same manner: drive her like you stole her.
I wondered the same thing. How far does a Mustang need to cross 147 ? 1/2 mile ? 1 mile ? Usually that much private property is dirt / gravel roads.so you have a drag strip on your “private property” to hit 147mph?
