Hey all, I've been reading these forums for a long time but this is my first post! Here goes: I swapped out the stock intake for a non-egr explorer GT40 intake on my 91 GT w/130k miles. The power gained was significant, but after a while the engine began to run hot and my oil pressure...

Hey everyone. I have a 2006 Mustang GT. I was at the track recently and it was about 100 degrees out and i saw my oil pressure drop from 65 to around 50. From what i have gathered around the internet its because the oil is starting to get to high of viscosity do to heat. I heard full synthetic...

Okay so have a 95 Gt with the 5.0 (obviously). The engine was running very choppy and was blowing smoke and oil out of the dipstick tube. So I had a new pcv valve put on, but still the issue continued. So he compression tested the engine and found that the rings in one cylinder are bad. I...

Not sure if this is where i should post but either way, what type of Motor oil should i use? I have a 1999 V6 mustang with around 223k miles on it, im gonna sell it when i trade up but it wont be for a couple years so i want to make sure it runs strong until then

Just want to collect some information since my first oil change is coming up soon and on the fence about going synthetic vs conventional, or blend. sorry if this has been done before but i didnt see it right away.

I was going to change the oil in my mustang myself since it would be cheaper than going to get it done. I was wondering what kind of oil and filter would work the best? My car has 115k miles, a BBK throttle body, Plenum and CAI, flowmaster pipes, a tune and pulleys.

I will starting by partially quoting a post from this thread, as I did not want to hijack the thread: My '03 GT (139000 miles) blows blue smoke at startup, but seems to disappear after a few seconds. This only happens when the engine is cold, or has been sitting for a few hours. When the car...

I had my hood open because I was working on something else on my engine and after closing it and driving for a bit I heard a tapping or "knocking". I opened my hood again and still heard it. It actually sounds as if I was really low on oil or almost had no oil at all, although when I pulled the...

Engine: 1967 Mustang S-0code 390 I rebuilt this Mustang motor a while back and finally got a starter on it to turn the engine without hand cranking. When I spun it the first time, I checked the rocker arm area (under valve convers) for new oil. I did not see any. Once I was told that by...

Hi. I'm building a 4-cyl dirt modified with a 2.3L and 4 speed manual out of an 86 Mustang. Looking for transmission fluid type and capacity. Thanks alot! Elliot

My 1968 mustang 289 has after market valve covers, and the passenger side has the pvc system and the driver side has a breather cap on it. The breather cap is just one that you pop on with the two prongs that slide in. I am getting oil over the top of my valve cover. What could cause this? I...

Changed my plugs today on my 99 cobra. 134,xxx miles. 5 of 8 had oil on the hex and the threads (probably from unscrewing it). It was a good amount too, enough to drip. The three cylinders closest to the firewall on the passenger side however did not have any oil on them. Any ideas? could it...

So I am stumped with this problem I have what sounds like a rod knock but it doesn't really have that deep knock as a rod knock would I have pin pointed the noise to the top of the bell housing I've pulled the inspection cover where the clutch cable enters the transmission and could not see...

So after reading all the other threads saying how everyone should get a catch can, that Ford should have put them on from the factory, I finally got one, after 25,000 miles on the car. After pulling the stock tube from intake to valve cover off, I noticed both ends dry as can be. not even a...

So I changed out my plugs lately and I noticed that 1 or 2 of my front end plugs had become gunked up with oil. The dealership where i get the $10 oil change deal has mentioned a leaky gasket before, but I feel like i am misfiring on a cylinder when trying to accelerate. Is there any connection...

I recently purchased a 1966 Ford Mustang with the I6 200 CID engine in it. It was rebuilt about 2 years ago. I need to change the oil, and since I'm new to this, I thought I'd check for recommendations on which oil weight to use and if I should include any additives. Any responses are greatly...

Ok, real noob question here... What is the oil capacity of a 5.0 (302) that I pulled out of a 91 F150 for the 65? I had assumed, what with the blocks being identical and all, that the capacity would remain the same as the 289 at 5 quarts, including filter. However, when i went to double check...

Does anyone use a different rated oil than the 5W-20? If so, what performance gains/loses have you noticed?

I am new to the forum and am now the proud owner of a 1966 mustang, inherited from my grandfather. It needs a lot of loving though, so i figured i'd start with an oil change. What is the best brand/viscosity for it? its got the Inline 6 engine in it

Hi its me again, I was wondering what oil i should use on my 1968 ford mustang with a 1971 ford 302 in it. It has a flat tappet hydraulic cam system. with dampening springs in the valve springs. brand new main and rod bearings. all new seals. full rebuild in other words. I hear lots of stuff...
