One thing that frustrates me about these new Mustangs, in addition to the underbody tray (can we safely run without it?), is that the oil changes are so messy. My previous fun car was a Camaro with the LT1 V8 and my first ever DIY oil change experience, not a single splash or drop landing...

I don't understand very expensive cars. I'd be too stressed by other drivers around me, who may be uninsured, or simply careless. Door dings in parking lots, poorly-maintained streets causing scrapes, etc. etc. Is it really 10x as fun as a Mustang?

Interestingly I noticed my coolant reservoir is also below the minimum line and has a couple mild "residue lines". 10K miles. I shoulda paid more attention when it was new so I can compare.

Noticed the same thing on an 8 month/10K mile 2024 Ecoboost. Will be topping it off and monitoring it closely. I've heard coolant loss on an Ecoboost can be a sign of headgasket issues.

People are all assuming more sales = better. But maybe not to Ford. Ford's bean counters did the math and are continuing to raise prices because they figured that's how to maximize profit. More profit per Mustang vs more Mustangs sold (they can't have it both ways). Same principle during the...

Any info on how often Ford usually does facelifts/"mid-cycle refresh"? If 2015 was the first S550 and 2018 (3 years later) was a facelift, does that mean 2027 will have updated bumpers?

To calculate the correct number, you have to convert the tire circumference (in millimeters) to hex (hexadecimal). The OEM values don't quite line up with any calculator I've used online, and different than what one would calculate using the advertised specs from even the tire manufacturer...

For English-speakers, the post was made by username "Unitracker" on that page. Machine-translated below: We'll see if this is true. It would be good for Ford to fix it, but sucks for us current owners

Rear passenger seat latch rattles: sounds almost like a suspension issue because it comes out when the chassis is diagonally flexed, such as over uneven roads or twisty cambered roads. Solved with silicone spray, which seems to last 3-4 months, but a thicker grease might be a longer-lasting...

If you leave room in front of you, other people just cut in that space continuously. The ideal strategy I've found is going faster than general flow of traffic but constantly vigilantly maintaining a distance from whatever car you find in front of you. Can't be totally avoided however.

For those who have added paddle shifters: how are they to use? I heard that it's very herky-jerky when shifting, and laggy. I can't imagine it's any different than on a HPP Ecoboost, and I can't imagine it's any worse than on a GT, since it's the same transmission after all. Was it a worthwhile...

I swapped 24 GT onto 24 Eco, but it should probably work the same on your 25

Do you need to get an alignment after installing this kit?

One change I do like about the S650 Ecoboosts is that Ford improved the exhaust significantly vs S550. Both in tone (lower, gruntier) and according to some experts it's more of a "performance exhaust" setup from the factory. As far as quiet starts, I dont' think you can start with valves fully...

Ford is really just gonna continue to stonewall and refuse to acknowledge/fix this eh? Guess it doesn't matter to them since the modern business model is to sell someone a new car/phone/laptop every 1-3 years so anything beyond that/warranty period they couldn't care less

Things I notice: - standard Mustang GT front bumper - standard Performance Pack front lip - pedestal spoiler - 18" wheels (which don't look that special, looks like they were ordered as part of a package from DiscountTire) - RTR grille I have my doubts about this model because the Ecoboost is...

Really? PF64 was the OEM oil filter for my 2021 Camaro LT1 (V8). I returned an extra I had after I sold that car. And returned extra 5W-30, which it turns out is the oil for the 2024 Ecoboost as well. Shoulda just kept everything lol

Just did my first oil change on my Ecoboost. WOW, what a pain. I can't believe professional products can be designed this poorly. My 6th gen Camaro was much easier to work on. The location of the Mustang's panel and oil filter and how those limit your jackstand placement, etc. was super...

Feral Industries (if you trust 'em) also has an overpriced plastic lip that is similar in style to the OEM Performance Pack lip, just a little more aggressive/sticks out a little further. $500 for that strip of plastic. I'd just stick with the OEM PP lip that's easily attainable on eBay for $150.

Confirmed, 2.3.64 finally works to write BCM changes! Changes may cause a P160A error code, but that's OK--just do the PCM relearn and then clear the DTC. Instructions with pictures on exactly where to click from the Bronco forum...
