Good morning Tom. Hope you had a good trip home.

So now I have a brand new gen 2 Voodoo with a 3 year powertrain warranty which is super exciting.

Glad you got a satisfiable outcome. Just an FYI though, the oil pump, OPG, and oil assembly in your new engine is the same as in your old one. The only oil assembly change made in the Voodoo line was in mid 2017 when they switched to the cartridge assembly.

Pardon the hijack, I will not derail this thread beyond this post.

Yes, it was a very elitist, upper crust experience, lol (https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/fl2087-oil-filter-o-rings.175853/#post-3556951). It was a little over 9 hours of flying time from London. I had a nice seat, so that helped. The problem with that kind of seat is you wind up drinking too much wine. I dont know where you finish your Croatia experience, but ours terminated in Ravenna, IT. Lots of history there going back to the Byzantine empire with some of the coolest mosaics I've ever seen. On our way back to London, we stopped for a day in Balogna and stayed at the Grand Hotel Majestic right in the city center.

Anyway, ill sit down with the wife later and do a writeup for as to expect in Croatia. It was stunning and you will absolutely enjoy your time there.

More later.

Oh, and here is the leftover Croatian Kunas I spoke of. I would be happy to send them to you gratis.

I had the old non-cartridge style before.

excellent. Can you buy an extension?

I didn’t ask, will probably come back to that at the end of the warranty. For the next 3 years I can hit the track with a lot less worries. Almost done with my break in miles.

Good luck. I would certainly ask. Keep in mind that Ford sometimes changes the availability, cost and terms of warranties. If it is available now, Id grab it.

good point. I’ll at least ask when I go back for the break in oil change.

One last point, dealers often screw up GT350 oil changes. Ask to see the oil bottles to make sure they used 5w50 and they used 10 of them. The next thing they screw up is not torque the cartridge correctly. Verify the torque yourself.

Over an out.

I no longer have the assembly that requires specific torque and I know the tech who always does my car and he knows what to do. But I agree with your advice generally speaking.

 

[ARDrummond25]

Two things some readers may or may not know.

1) ford corporate doesn’t allow dealers to open up the voodoo. They can undress the engine but they can’t dig into the internals without breaking the corporate rules. Your dealer may or may not be willing to do this for you.

2) ford doesn’t supply dealers with short blocks, if you ever need to replace a motor, it’s the entire long block.

^ yeah, that has been well established.

Its a torque wrench. Try harbor freight for a cheapo version. I wouldn't trust the dealership. They don't use torque wrenches on oil filters. This is the only car that is very specific that the filter must be torqued correctly, but the techs don't bother.
