Curious. What does ford consider when excessive oil consumption. The history on my car is about 1 quart / 1000 miles

Hi. Im sure this has been asked before. Some members seem to have a relationship with Ford technical experts. My 2016 R model started out with no oil loss per 1000. Then suddenly was a quart every 1000 mile, for 6000 mile run. Then mysteriously 800 mile and no oil loss. so now the...

"Seems like its full" is not very conclusive. Either it is or it isn't. Was the oil pressure gage indicating low pressure right after startup.

Not surprising as the 325 section width spec is only 10 mm (0.39") wider than the 315 (or less than 0.2" per side)

Have you checked your suspension settings and are they consistent with the expected road conditions? Track settings are one thing but on the road its unpredictable for one setting to handle all the possible conditions. The stability computer is constantly making adjustments based on what its...

Have not seem mentioned before: Ford price on GT350 (FR3Z 1007 D) wheels $935.99 each and GT350R (FR3Z 1007 R) wheel $4,053 ea (FR3Z 1007 S) wheel $3,433 ea I'm speculating the rear R's are different setback? and or different hub flange thickness?

Well this has been an interesting conversation. As an R owner I am curious how much mileage other R owners have experienced with the original Michelin tires? Particularly street driven. 5600 miles and this first set is shot. Okay maybe a few gratuitous launches. Will be putting...

I think it has more to do with what kind of jack pad is used (or not) and whether you ignore the recommended Ford hard points for jacking the car up. Adding the rail can allow for less precision and more flexibility placing placing the jack or the stands. The hard points Ford designed are not...

Feel sorry for you. With metallic flakes showing up anywhere, the decision should be tear the engine completely apart. Contaminates in oil go everywhere. Insist on a new motor. I doubt they will give you the original motor.

I think the owners manual recommends at 7 degree max incline transition with respect to loading it on a car hauler. Drive way and other street transitions apply as well. If you have some fabrication skills you could fabricate a portable driveway transition piece to facilitate entering or...

The thicker oil will make it run hotter, with or without cooler. Is that what you really want?

I have thought about making a thin wall conforming fit wear plate attached to the underside of the splitter. while this would shield the splitter the whole front facia is going to see the forces generated every time the splitter makes contact ... that will eventually take its tole and...

I got about 5600 miles on the Michelin PSC2's on my R model. The wear pattern front to rear and side to side are not very symmetrical, so its going on the rack to see whats up. it hasn't had hard miles put on it.

Many primary fasteners (bolts) are torque to yield type. You only want to yield them one time. Specified make up torque will do the trick. I believe these came in to use late 70's early 80's. Also torque to yield head bolts are the norm these days. If its a primary load path fastener and...

How did you determine 'better quality'. More stringent dimensional inspection More precise machining tolerances tighter controls on any heat treatment processes heat lot control of the material higher shear strength than the factory material higher material quality So that...
