So, i was on my first track day with the new Mustang GT 2018 auto with PP. Only change made to the car was a new oil filter and Mobil 1 5w30 oil. Car has 2.000km (around 1.200 miles). Consider myself an advance/agressive driver (raced in local leagues before, and more than 30 track days in several cars).
All was good for the first laps, then all of the sudden i felt a drop in power, and the trans wouldnt let me shift above 5.000rpm. but NO warning or message appeared.
Let the car cool down (for some reason i cant see my oil temp anywhere, just oil pressure and other stuff). Went back into the track, and after 2 laps, same thing happend.
After seeing my onboard again, i realize i start the first lap with around 75-90psi under full throttle, and then the pressure keeps gradually coming down to around 40psi (maybe a little less) when the power cuts down.
What may be happening? Is it just the oil getting too hot? is the lack of a dedicated oil cooler that bad? (i live in Brazil, track temps are usually around 80-100F) or it might be something more?
Going to take it to Ford for a read and see what was happening when the power cutted off.
Appreciate any insights, since i doubt Ford will find something...
