2024’ Mustang Convertible FACTORY FILTER CUT OPEN

[53' Stude]

Good Morning BITOGERS

This filter had 18.5k on it. Supposedly first oil change was done at one of our locations other side of town. On repair order tech said he used PROTEC 57060. He didn’t obviously. Heard he blew 3 engines up and is now “terminated”

Not too bad for 18.5k, what say you?

Out/off: this filter and Safety Kleen 5w30 oil

In: PENNZOIL PZ-167 (Purolator made in USA) and Safety Kleen 5w30

Thanks great pics. I have a feeling the oil and filter have 18.5k on them….

Is it Motorcraft synthetic oil or is factory fill their semi-synthetic?
In either case, looked like it held up well. Gosh, brand new Mustang.......I would be HOT if I was the customer. Hopefully, the terminated technician changed the oil at least (just not the filter.)

Thanks Adam, as always, you're the MAN!

We had one -
Really an intensive little motor to be left on FF that long …

I’m betting he changed the oil only.

I said the Ecoboost, 3.7 or 5.0....the Ecoboost is the 2.3.

At least Purolator prioritizes capacity in their filters.
It did pretty good under the mileage. Didn't tear etc.

Thanks Adam, as always, you're the MAN!

Yes he is!

There is also a 3.5 eco boost. So we are totally clear: 2.3, 3.5 and 5.0 are eco boost. I doubt very highly that 3.7 is a eco boost. Maybe subyrubieroo can share info.

3.7 and 5.0 aren’t eco boosts

Yep - Nor is the 3.3L

Know what mileage the first oil change was done, when the factory filter was left on? It being a new engine helped keep the filter from being hammered too bad. Good thing the filter had a silicone ADBV.

The 3.7L was the NA V6. Last year it was in the Mustang was 2017.

Factory fill on Mustangs isn't the full synthetic Motorcraft.
