Not looking too good for my Mustang. What do you guys think? Thinking about getting rid of this car. Needs a lot of work.
Car has more than indicated mileage (well over 300k, speedo cable was broken for a while). Compression test shows 155 +/- 10 psi on all cylinders. A little lifter tick at idle. Original oil (first analysis) inherited from previous owner was run well past its limitations and sludged a little bit, and additionally I believe the oil filter had failed. I used a Motorcraft FL-1A and 5W-30 supertech conventional in the current run.
Car has a plugged passenger side exhaust, causing various running issues. Otherwise decent mechanical condition for its age. No make-up oil was needed. It doesn't burn any significant amount.
