beater/funky beater/funky engines need not apply. yes, you can switch to syn, if you read this forum your car is in the 'top' cared for car group and clean enough for the switch.

M-1 Tanks use syn oil FYI: forgot to add. M-1 tanks use syn oil. It is never changed until the routine oil sample, a small 1/4 cup sample sucked out of the crankcase--sent in to a central lab now and then) comes back from the lab saying "change the oil--and resample" It is not ususual...

Syn oil lasts a long long time Syn oil lasts a long long time. I change mine twice a year---just to be safe. Twice a year (unless you drive a lot) will still bring you under the warranty limits. I use the FRAM Tough Guard (Silver box--$5) filter since it's on for six months. They work...

5w20 Is a Honda Invention Hello all, I had the same question when my wife got a 2003 Taurus, so I did some research. Discovered that the 5w20 oil had its first 'paper' published in San Francisco at a SAE Forum (Society of Automotive Engineers) The study, done in Japan, for Honda and Toyota...

I have to make a critical decision soon. I've had my GT for about a month. It's a beautiful Black Premium, 500W, Interior Upgrade, Red over Black interior, ATX, anti theft, side air bags, Bullits. My Melanoma Cancer returned so quickly that I may have months to live. I'm going to sell...

Major 2005 Mustang TV event For those that just missed it here is what happened: NBC's program American Dreams had their son, a marine, who was MIA, suddenly return home. During the program a 1967 Mustang ad shows up on a Bus and on the back of a magazine. Then Dad gives his son a 1967 GT to...

oil change 1000 miles, time for its first oil change. Best thing you can do for a new car is get the break-in oil, with all the metal filings falling off parts grinding themselves together for the first time, etc, out and fresh oil in.

reset it anytime you can reset it anytime, press reset, that's it. On the highway push reset, then you'll have the average for your 'high speed run'

52 52, and still kicking, Black 05 GT, so far I've had it to 130 :flag: :flag:

Because it is fun Because it is fun. I spent 26 years all over the world, had a great time renting BMW's on the Autobahn, but something was missing. Then I spent weeks in the hospital, almost died, and I decided then and there that all the money in the world won't help you--so I pre-ordered a...

Looked over the GT lights I saw the Brit's follow up comments, hope that the Fogs are far enough apart, if not the same technique will work with the main lights. If you go the drilling route,(and need to make a hole) put the hole at the bottom so water won't leak in--and seal it good with...

bigger problem chap, you have a bigger problem: the lights shine on the wrong side of the road! Recommendations: 1. Leave the amber under bumper lights there, just disconnect parking light function. You still need amber turn signals up front. 2. Do you need side blinkers? If...

T-bird/LS unit GT ATX is from T-Bird/Lincoln LS. It works great. 99.9% as fast as manual Highly reommended PS, shift lever on ATX looks great

reevaluated I reevaluated and will go with the Mobil 1 0w20 in the winter, and 4 quarts of 0w20 mixed with 2 quarts of 0w40 in the summer. BTW. I'm a mech engr with specialized training in lubrication engineering so I'm confident with the above selections. Why can't the motorcraft and...

Does anybody know the 'for sure' answer to the correct oil filter size for the GT? It looks like a Fram "2" (Motorcraft 820) from peering down at it from above with the hood open. I'm getting close to my 1st change I always change out factory oil at 1000 miles. Also: got some neat new...

TO: anybody who will know when the engine cover is available. Please post ASAP so we can place orders to aftermarket upgrade our GT intake manifold area. If you see or hear about it, please remember to get the word out--even if it is a Ford OEM part decides to offer, so we can get it on...

Get on your knees TIP: Car pics look better when the camera is at headlamp level. Get down on your knees, never stand to snap a pic. Your car will look better

womdow goes down 1/2 inch The window drops 1/2 inch when you pull the handle to open the door. It automatically rolls back up 1/2 inch after you close the door. It's for a better seal. If you open the door toooooo fast it can't roll down before it pulls against the rubber seal, so I goes...

having fun still too new to rev it way up, so after 1,000 miles and a switch to 5w30 Mobil One I'll feel free to push the pedal to the medal. GT observations: --feel like I have to 'wait' when opening the door, I like to see that the glass moved down before I really pull it, guess it's...

1000 lbs owners manual says up to 1,000 lbs. Putting on a hitch will be possible as the GT and the V-6 have similar rear frame setup. Just wait, I went to the car part store to verify oil filter, even their computer doesn't show filter size yet--just too new. So wait, your will be able...
