    5.0 "engine tick"

    My 2012 GT/CS now has 7500 miles but I started to hear the "tick" at around 3K when the car was next to a drive thru wall. I can't hear it inside the car.

    Not happy with Ford product or service

    I'm in Tampa now but I used to live in Orlando for over 8 yrs and I know that Tropical Ford on south OBT has had a good reputation for a long time. Try to check their reviews in you decide to give'em a try. Good luck.

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    +1. My next oil change will be with Royal Purple too. The WalMart supercenter I went to didn't have R. P. oil.

    looking into buying 5.0

    If I were you I would wait for a few months until the 2013 mustangs start showing up at stealerships and then buy a new discounted 2012 with all the options including HID Xenon headlights. They are optional on 2012 but standard on all 2013 models.

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    Synthetic blend is about 80% conventional and 20% synthetic according to an article that I read in a consumer reports magazine. In an article on Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords magazine, Dec. 2011 issue, page 26 a reader asks if the break-in should be done with conventional oil and the answer from...

    Oil Change

    I don't get it either. When I bought my 2012 GT/CS, I changed the oil to Mobil 1 5W20 at a WalMart Supercenter lube express and the car took the whole 8 qts. That was the day before Christmas and I already put 2900 miles on the odometer and the oil level is still the same.

    2012 GT or 03/04 Cobra

    +1. I bought my first 'stang (2012) back in Dec. and couldn't be happier. If you can, get it with navigation, heated leather and specially HID Xenon headlights. You won't be sorry. And change the oil to synthetic asap. If you want to wait until after the break in period is done, that's ok too...

    I got me a 2012 GT/CS a few weeks ago and drove it from Garner, NC to Tampa, FL (a 700 mile+ trip) after changing the oil to Mobil 1 5W20 at a local Wal Mart Supercenter.

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    I know for a fact that cars like the Chevy Corvette and the Dodge Viper among others come from the factory with Mobil 1. I remember several years ago reading an article in a consumer reports magazine explaining that those synthetic blend oils were misleading because they only contained a mix of...

    HID Xenon Convertion for fog lights

    My 2012 GT/CS came with the fog lights (H-11 bulbs) already installed under the bumper. Does anybody know if they can be converted to hid xenons with a convertion kit ? Also, will the ballasts interfere with the computer? Thanks for the answer.

    Just picked up a 2012 GT/CS on 12/23/2011 with 2596 on the odometer and I changed the oil to Mobil 1 5w20 the very next day. The car runs like a kid.
