I have a 2022 Mustang GT and the performance pack comes with a Torsen rear LSD. I am gonna be draining out the factory fluid at about 12K miles and swap to Amsoil SevereGear which is raved about. OEM fill is a 75W85 but many think that’s mainly for fuel efficiency and is “good enough”. I know...

Those two additives really quiet down the Gen 3 Ford 5.0 Coyote ticking (and of course that’s what Liquimoly Ceratec has a lot of it which instantly quiets them down, as well as the factory fill special additive pack is pretty high in both substances - no surprise ticking begins after first oil...

Typo, it was a XG10575

Thank you, factory fill is not available to buy it’s some special additive Ford puts in whatever Motorcraft 5W30 they use. Not similar to the additive pack in the semi and full 5W30 so they’re boosting it with something perhaps for break in or to keep them quiet on the dealer lot LOL

If I recall correctly, it was driven for a while the day before. Sat overnight on the hoist and drained the following afternoon and mailed out a week later. Does it make a difference how hot when you drain it, or how soon you get it to Blackstone? And yes, 32V direct injected and port injected

Preface - Factory fill drained at 1200 miles (no sample) - M1 5W30 + FRAM Ultra XG73717 from 1200 mi to 3200 mi (no sample) - M1 0W40 + Ford Racing FL820HD from 3200 mi to 5500 mi (2300 miles on oil, first used oil analysis, replaced fluid and filter with same 0W40 and Ford Racing FL820 filter)...

Since my Coyote Mustang takes 10 quarts and I'm anal about frequent OCI's, I want to stick to 5 quart jugs that I can get in the $25 range at Walmart locally. My car calls for 5W30 but want to up to a 40 weight for a bit better protection during hard driving with similar cold-start protection...

I am the OP on this thread. Right on time, after my first 1,000 mile change the infamous barbecue tick has started. Here are two videos of it. I hear Ceratec does work, but a guy on Mustang6G did an experiment that it fell out of suspension after sitting for a week and even left a bunch of...

Now that my 2022 Mustang GT with a Coyote is broken in, I’m starting to do some auto crossing and having more fun with the car opening it up. Is there any advantage to using a larger style filter than the OEM FL500S size assuming I keep my oil changes frequent? I swapped the factory-only FoMoCo...

PUP is literally the hardest oil available to find.. I’ll be sticking with M1 since I don’t try to push long OCI’s

I definitely like the style of the base-end bypass instead of dome end on the Fram and WIX. (Don’t like WIX for horrible XP filtration). Since Ford recommends it directly as a OEM upgrade to the Fl-500s, I feel safer using it just for warranty purposes

Looks like they changed to 6 holes and a black gasket instead of the usual 8 holes and blue gasket. Just bought it brand new from Summit Racing so I doubt it’s a knockoff. Still weighs a hefty 19.7 ounces which is exactly what the older design weighed. The Motorcraft version FL820 only weighs 13...

I am picking up a brand new 2022 Mustang GT with the 5.0L V8. Currently 2021-2022 models calls for 5W30. The 2018-2020 were calling for 5W20, all mustang V8s in these model years are identical Gen 3 in terms of internals. The 2015-17 Gen 2 Coyote called for 5W20, and so did the Gen 1 from...

last analysis was done with M1 5W30

I’m running Mobil1 0W40 (changed from M1 5W30 because of supposedly much better shear stability and better base) in a VQ35DE engine. I have a stock oil cooler and stock radiator, just have a secondary trans cooler. I have gauges installed and cruising on the highway, oil temp is 206-213F...
